Hum Hindustani (2026): Story, Cast & What We Know
Hum Hindustani is a Netflix India film inspired by one of the defining moments of modern Indian history: India’s first general election after Independence.

What is Hum Hindustani about?
Netflix describes Hum Hindustani as a film inspired by true events and centred on India’s first general election. The historical event was not simply a political contest.

The film uses that historical moment as its narrative foundation.
