I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s premiere of the Amazon Original Telugu movie Cheekatilo, starring Sobhita Dhulipala. Bhumi Pednekar’s grim-looking new crime series Daldal premieres January 29:

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with today’s premiere of the Hotstar Specials Hindi series Space Gen: Chandrayaan (also streaming in Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu).

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the streaming debut of the Hindi film Tere Ishk Mein.

If the traditional “8-week theatrical exclusivity window for Hindi films” pattern holds true, Dhurandhar should become available for streaming next Thursday afternoon (January 29) in the United States. Netflix is reportedly the movie’s streaming partner, and they supposedly paid a ton of money for it. Given how well Dhurandhar continues to do at the box office, I won’t be surprised if they negotiate a deal to keep it off of Netflix for a couple weeks longer. I haven’t heard anything to indicate that that will happen, but it’s what I’d try to do if I’d produced Dhurandhar.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s streaming debuts of the Hindi comedy De De Pyaar De 2 and the Telugu action sequel Akhanda 2. The Hindi social drama Haq was added last week, while I was still on vacation.
