New year calls for new beginnings, but some of the cult classics might be leaving soon from the popular OTT platform – and the viewers are not ready. Many renowned Hollywood movies and series are leaving Netflix in December 2025, including ‘Friends,’ ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ ‘Barbie,’ ‘Happy Gilmore,’ and more. As the storm of wake continues on social media, many Bollywood films are also bidding farewell to the streaming platform. Some are known for being part of the annual binge-watch sessions, while others have been comfort movies all along. Let’s take a look at the films that you should watch before the year ends.
‘Dil Chahta Hai’
‘Dil Chahta Hai’ gave the world a healing ability and lasting memories, including the iconic pose at the fort in Goa, song lyrics that you remember word-for-word, the need for meaningful relationships, and how can one forget the stranded Saif Ali Khan in the hotel? Directed by Farhan Akhtar, the film revolves around three close friends and their different directions towards love. Starring Aamir Khan, Akshaye Khanna, and Saif Ali Khan, the 2001 film bids goodbye on December 28, 2025.
‘Dil Dhadakne Ko’
You remember the butter knife incident? Yeah, that leaves the streaming platform on December 28, 2025. ‘Dil Dhadakne Do,’ the ultimate family drama with just the accurate dash of chaos, absurd jokes between cousins, and the feeling of ‘the one that got away,’ has been the comfort film for a long time. Directed by Zoya Akhtar, the film features Anil Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, Shefali Shah, Vikrant Messy, Rahul Bose, and more.
‘PK’
The story of Jagat Janani Sahani, PK, and Sarfaraz Yousuf made a chronic impact on everyone who was obsessed with films in 2014. From songs like ‘Love is a waste of time’ to a dazzling cameo of Ranbir Kapoor, ‘PK’ became the theme of the year. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the film revolves around a naive alien who is trying to figure out the concepts and faiths. Starring Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Sushant Singh Rajput, and Saurabh Shukla, the film will be bidding goodbye on December 31, 2025.
‘Fukrey’
Choocha, Hunny, Lali, and Zafar will be sending their best wishes to their fans this December, as ‘Fukrey’ leaves the streaming platform on December 28, 2025. Directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, the 2013 film revolves around how the friends tackle the obstacles after they lose all the money they took for investments. Starring Ali Fazal, Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, Manjot Singh, and Richa Chadha, the film became a stressbuster for the young generation, bringing accurate chaos to the plate.
‘Karthik Calling Karthik’
Hey Ya! Karthik probably would not be able to call you from December 28, 2025. Starring Farhan Akhtar and Deepika Padukone, ‘Karthik Calling Karthik’ became a harbinger for subtle thrillers after its release in 2010. Whether it’s the magical twist (which literally is the title of the film) or the ‘Uff Teri Adaa’ song that completes the parties in a dreamy sequence, the film introduced the audience to a stunning world.
‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’
Cult classic ke saath involve hona was not funny! Moshi Moshi, the film that gave the dreams of a trip to Spain, and to celebrate the Tomatina festival, leaves the streaming platform on December 28, 2025. Everyone knows that the diamond biscuit is the favorite, but ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ has been the generational film – and will always remain special. Starring Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, Katrina Kaif, Kalki Koechlin, and more, the film revolves around a transformative bachelor party, where one finds his love interest, one loses his potential wife, and the other starts loving himself after finding his niche.
‘Talaash’
After the son dies, the police inspector copes with the loss by being obsessed with a particular case and stops at nothing to solve it. Giving goosebumps all along, ‘Talaash’ makes the viewers realise that ‘Muskaanein Jhooti Hai (the smiles are fake).’ Starring Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, and more, the 2012 film leaves the platform on December 28, 2025.
