The Hollywood Reporter India honoured the five best Indian streaming series of 2025 at the inaugural edition of The Honours, held on February 18 in Mumbai.
In a crowded streaming landscape, Khauf shines as a rare, complex genre vehicle that raises the bar for social horror. This series cleverly conflates the natural fear of being a woman in India with the supernatural fear of ghosts, creating something wholly original. Set in a working women’s hostel, it is superbly performed, sharply plotted, and ambitiously staged.
