Indian OTT Shows That'll Definitely Turn On The Heat

It's getting hot, hot, hot!

By Team Esquire India | LAST UPDATED: JAN 30, 2026

We’re all in a different kind of mood every time we sit down to binge watch a show.

Tired from a long day at work and in the mood for something that’s mindless fun. Eager to deep dive into a show that’s both intelligent and entertaining. Looking for something wholesome to watch with the entire family. Hilarious. Emotional. Thrilling. Awe-inspiring. There’s something for every mood, and depending on how we’re feeling, we’re looking for a series that matches it.

And sometimes, we’re in the mood for something... well... what we’re in the mood for!

To curl up in bed and be a voyeur. Enjoy something erotic. ‘Dirty’ is a dirty word, but the content shouldn’t be too clean either. Exciting. Evocative. And equally entertaining. The kind of content that you’d rather watch by yourself. Just you & your screen. Pleasure. Guilt. Temptation. Everything’s on the menu. ‘Hot’ is a limiting word – everyone's has different definitions for it. But hey, if the shoe fits, who is anyone to say anything?

Let your next binge be hot and let these titles take you to a good place, whatever’s your version of it, of course!

Bekaaboo

An innocent wife and her manipulative husband anyway sounds like a recipe for sexual tension and drama. Add murder to the mixture and what you have is a passionate tale where there aren’t any rules and there’s enough for you to enjoy.

Fourplay

Two separate married couples (and their sexual lives) get embroiled between chaos, confusion and a whole lot of comedy. If you like your sexual tension with a side of laughter and forgetting, this one is for you.

The Royals

Two attractive leads fall in love, apart and in love, again, and it all makes for some great viewing for the rest of us. The show deserves major props for having some of the most realistic yet aesthetically shot love scenes and both Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar bring in the hot quotient.

Lust Stories

Technically, it’s a film but since it’s got two movies, it could count as a show, isn’t it?

Anyway, both movies have got 4 incredible directors, each making their own versions of what defines lust, and how it should be depicted on screen. Think steamy action but woven with a story to boot. How’s that for wholesome entertainment?

Made In Heaven

On one hand you’ve got a rich married couple dealing with infidelity (among other things). On the other, there’s a closeted gay man having sex in secrecy. Then there are the many couples in all the episodes who have their own share of steamy situations to contend it. Basically, the show has enough and more action to keep you excited!

Four More Shots Please!

In this Indian version of Sex And The City, four young women are going about love and life in Mumbai, and as and when they do meet men, it obviously leads to fireworks, before fizzling out into a mess. But the journey along the way is light hearted and frothy so you won’t be saddled with soppy terrains fortunately.

Forbidden Love

Another anthology on the list, this one too has four different stories, each one pushing the envelope when it comes to societal norms. And it’s got quite a few popular names – Ali Fazal, Aditya Seal and Chandan Roy Sanyal, among others – playing truly different characters. And yes, it’s also got some steamy action. Don’t worry, we’ve got you!
