I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the additions of the Hindi films Jai Mummy Di (2020) and Bypass Road (2019).
I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with more than a dozen Indian films added in the last few days, including the following 2020 releases:
- Anveshanam (Malayalam)
- Galtha (Tamil)
- Malgudi Days (Kannada)
- March 23 (Kannada)
- O Pitta Katha (Telugu)
- Six (Telugu)
- Vasantha Kalam (Telugu)
Some upcoming Hindi films have postponed their theatrical releases due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and more are sure to follow suit. Obviously, that’s going to affect the rate at which new releases become available on streaming services. According to Bollywood Buff, the two most recent Hindi theatrical releases — Baaghi 3 and Angrezi Medium — will become available online in May. After that, who knows? Some smaller releases may choose to head straight to streaming, especially a film like Lootcase that had considered doing so in the past. Others may choose to release simultaneously in theaters and online for rent, as Universal is doing. We’ll have to wait an see. In the meantime, keep on top of release date news on my Upcoming Bollywood Release page.
I decided to watch Jai Mummy Di. It was okay. The end credits show why the fight started but I didn’t see why they got made at each other not the jerk boyfriend. Maybe something was off somewhere in the subtitles. Unsatisfying as to why the whole thing started. I liked the actors though.
I’m always interested to hear about movies with inadequate subtitles. Thanks for the scoop, Jill!
Any ideas when new Malayalam movies Varane Ayashyamund will be coming on Prime India Amazon
I’m not sure. Amazon Prime isn’t good about announcing release dates in advance.
