Streaming Video News: May 10, 2019

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the addition of dozens of Indian films in the last week, including these 2019 releases:

Sadly, Aisha and Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai are no longer available on Prime.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the addition of a bunch of cartoons in the Chhota Bheem series. On May 15, the Bengali movies Ant Story and Television expire along with a few filmed versions of Hindi plays. Netflix announced that the original movie Chopsticks — starring Karwaan‘s Mithila Palkar, Abhay Deol, and Vijay Raaz — debuts on the service on May 31.
