For Indian film buffs, new additions to the major streaming services have been few and far between in 2018. Netflix has added just a handful of titles since the start of the year, and there’s been nothing new added to Amazon Prime that wasn’t previously available on Heera. Nevertheless, my efforts to compile an exhaustive list of Indian movies on Prime continue. I’ve employed the Asim Burney strategy, finding films by checking the “Customers who watched this item also watched” recommendations below each title in my list. I’ve already found ten movies that hadn’t shown up in any of my previous searches and added them to the list. They are:
- Aval Vannathinu Shesham (2015/Malayalam)
- Beeruva, aka “Mera Faisla” (2015/Telugu)
- Ettekaal Second (2014/Malayalam)
- Goli Soda (2014/Tamil)
- Kasam Tere Ishq Ki, aka “Kalabha Kadhalan” (2006/Tamil, Hindi-dubbed)
- Kerala Nattilam Pengaludane (2014/Tamil)
- Kolamass (2016/Malayalam)
- Kurutham Kettevan (2014/Malayalam)
- Mera Vaada My Promise, aka “Paddanandi Premalo Mari” (2015/Telugu, Hindi-dubbed)
- Rekka (2016/Tamil, Hindi-dubbed)
Some recent titles of note on other streaming services include Haseena Parkar on Spuul and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan on Eros Now. Split Screen Podcast host Shah Shahid also let me know about Hoichoi, a streaming service for Bengali movies and TV that even has English subtitles. So even if there’s not much new on Netflix and Prime, there are still plenty of streaming options for Indian film fans.
