Streaming Video News: August 21, 2025

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s streaming debuts of Kajol’s horror flick Maa and the Tamil film Maareesan. There are more upcoming Netflix expiration dates to be aware of, besides those I mentioned last week. I’m especially sad to see Cargo leave. Here’s the films on the way out:

This isn’t related to Indian cinema, but I wrote a piece for What’s on Netflix about what animated films to watch if your kids are obsessed with Kpop Demon Hunters and you need to redirect them to something different. This is a global problem. 😉

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s streaming debut of the Tamil film Thalaivan Thalaivii. The Telugu movie Hari Hara Veera Mallu joined the catalog earlier this week. Prime made two big announcements today, including an 8-film post-theatrical licensing deal with Maddock Films and an August 29 premiere date for the new Original Hindi movie Songs of Paradise.
