A New Year means lots of removals from Netflix and January 1st is looking busy, with over 100 movies set to leave the service already. Below, we’ll be keeping track of all the Netflix departures for the first month of 2024.
First, a few housekeeping notes as to how Netflix removals work before we dive in. Due to licensing agreements, shows and movies added to Netflix aren’t added forever. Instead, they’re essentially rented for a fixed period. All the shows below have their current window on Netflix ending and will likely be bound for a rival streaming service.
We list titles slightly differently from other outlets, with our listings being the actual day of removal. If you want to watch any titles scheduled to expire on January 1st, for example, you’ll need to watch by the end of December 31st.

KollywoodFrom the ‘mother sentiment’, films have now moved to ‘farmer sentiment’, and it’s time directors look past gimmicks like this and focus on the story instead. Sowmya RajendranThe introductory sequence for the hero of Cs Amudhan's Tamizh Padam 2 involves actor Shiva ramming a flying car into a coconut tree to help a "farmer in distress" get his coconuts. He then utters a few lines about how much he respects farmers and thinks about them always. To the uninitiated, Tamizh Padam 2 is a film that parodies mainstream Tamil cinema. This in itself should give one a sense of how overused the "farmer sentiment" is in contemporary Tamil films. While "mother sentiment" used to be the go-to-formula to milk tears from the audience, the current trend is to throw in a few lines about the greatness of farmers, with the hero facing the audience and delivering the "punch" dialogue. Take last week's release,...

KollywoodThe most fragile, raw and simplest of characters carry forward a compelling story.Anjana ShekarVery rarely does a film manage to set a pace that is equal to that of reading a novel. While we’re talking about two different mediums, and one can never be the same as the other, films often tend to impress momentarily, leaving us with a short-lived connection for the characters seen on screen. It might, therefore, come as a challenge for filmmakers to perfect that illusion wherein the viewer feels a deeper bond with the characters seen on screen. Director Lenin Bharathi’s Merku Thodarchi Malai is one such rare film that will gracefully transport you into its world from its very first frame. Merku Thodarchi Malai, as the title signifies, is not just one person’s story. It is the story of a region, of its people. If films are often built upon fictional narratives,...
