10 Best Movies to Watch If You Like Yodha (and Where to Stream Them)

Published on

Yodha is the new action thriller starring Sidharth Malhotra and Disha Patani. Set in the confines of a hijacked passenger plane, the nail-biting drama finds Malhotra playing an off-duty soldier. But as the story progresses, the morals of the terrorists and the protectors become more blurry.

If you enjoyed this high-octane action flick, we have a list of many more movies like Yodha to watch in India. We also show you the platforms where you can stream, buy, or rent these movies.

A Gentleman

While Malhotra started his career with romantic comedies, he proved his action hero chops with A Gentleman. The spy comedy by Raj and DK found him playing an ordinary man who is mistaken for a secret agent. Watch Malhotra balancing his rom-com antics with big-budget stunts and action hero dialogue delivery. 

Non-Stop

When it comes to gun-heavy action miles high above the ground, Non-Stop is worth a watch. Starring Liam Neeson in Taken mode, Non-Stop is an unpredictable hostage thriller taking place entirely in a plane. 

Passenger 57

This ‘90s action classic stars Wesley Snipes as a grieving anti-terrorism officer who is pushed to the limits in the middle of a hijacked flight. 

Die Hard 

Die Hard is an undisputed action classic for how it reinvented the one-man-army formula in the genre. Bruce Willis plays John McClane, an ordinary policeman who is stuck in a skyscraper in the middle of a terrorist attack. With nothing but a gun and his stealth, McClane turns from an everyday man to a larger-than-life hero. Yodha, like many other airplane action movies, is practically “Die Hard on a plane”.

Speed

The race against time in Yodha is reminiscent of the adrenaline-fueled adventure in Speed. Keanu Reeves stars as a lawman who must defuse a ticking bomb stuck to a moving bus full of passengers. The catch? If the bus stops, everything explodes!

Airlift

Airlift recreates India’s efforts at flying out hostages from an Iraq-invaded Kuwait. The fact-based thriller lacks the glamour of Yodha but makes for an important watch. 

Mission Majnu

A year before Yodha, Sidharth Malhotra appeared in a Netflix action spy thriller called Mission Majnu. It’s an interesting exploration of the escapades of Indian spies in Pakistan in the 1970s, at a time when both countries were in a nuclear race. 

Air Force One

You have seen police officers and secret agents ward off hijackers in the skies. But Air Force One takes this trope a level higher by pitting an American President against Russian terrorists! Harrison Ford stars as the butt-kicking Head of State and Gary Oldman plays the antagonist in this ‘90s classic. 

Neerja

Featuring a career-best performance by Sonam Kapoor, Neerja recounts the daring true story of Neerja Banot. The late flight attendant gave up her life to protect passengers in the middle of a terrorist-hijacked plane in 1986. 

Crew

When it comes to recent aviation-related Bollywood offerings, Crew can be a relatively light-hearted watch after Yodha. Starring Kareena Kapoor, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon, Crew is a heist comedy-drama that follows the misadventures of three flight attendants. When they accidentally get involved in a gold smuggling case, their fate changes for the better or for worse.
