I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with dozens of Indian and Pakistani films added in the last week or so. The September theatrical release Pailwaan is available in its original Kannada, along with Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu versions. (Disclosure: my Amazon links include an affiliate tag that may earn me a commission on purchases made via the links.) The Malayalam movie Ittymaani: Made in China is also now available, in both standard and 4K, as is the 4K Kannada version of Saaho. Other recently added 2019 releases include:
- Bandobast (Telugu)
- Cheel Zadap (Gujarati)
- En Kadhali Scene Podura (Tamil)
- Geetha (Kannada)
- Goyenda Junior (Bengali)
- Honey vs. Money (Urdu)
- Kaappaan (Tamil)
- Kalippu (Malayalam)
- Mone Prane (Bengali)
- Nazar Kay Samnay (Urdu)
- Nene Kedi No. 1 (Telugu)
- Nikka Zaildar 3 (Punjabi)
- Poovalliyum Kunjadum (Malayalam)
- Saak (Punjabi)
- Shilai Maseen (Urdu)
- Sindhubaadh (Telugu)
- Tulasi Krishna (Telugu)
- Zhagaram (Tamil)
The Vishesh Films and Dharma Productions back catalogs have departed Prime, but some titles — including Kapoor & Sons — are still available for rent. Others like Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham… moved to Eros Now.
I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the addition of the interview special My Next Guest with David Letterman and Shah Rukh Khan. A handful of titles are set to expire in the first few days of November, including the Hindi films Mirror Game: Ab Khel Shuru and Sameer.
We watched the David Letterman interview today. Dave was out of his league. SRK was very fast, witty, funny, and comfortable. Dave didn’t seem like he did enough homework before the interview. Dave went into politics, which was unnecessary. The audience doesn’t care about that. They want SRK stories. It was wonderful to have a whole interview with SRK in English but Dave could have done much better. He didn’t seem to know about AbRam in parts as an example of not being prepared enough.
I’ve been really interested to watch this, Jill. I’ll try and check it out this week.
