I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s world premiere of director Rahul Dholakia’s firefighter drama Agni, starring Pratik Gandhi and Saiyami Kher. Yesterday, the Telugu movie Matka was added to the streaming catalog.

Earlier this week, Amazon announced that the Hindi film Girls Will Be Girls will release on Prime on December 18 following after a successful festival run. It’s unclear if this applies to Prime globally or if it’s only in India, as Girls Will Be Girls is currently available for rent and purchase on Amazon in the United States.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s streaming debut of Vasan Bala’s jailbreak flick Jigra, starring Alia Bhatt. The Tamil film Amaran was added yesterday, and the Rajkummar Rao-Triptii Dimri comedy Vicky Vidya ka Woh Wala Video comes to Netflix tomorrow afternoon.

ZEE5 debuted the Hindi series Maeri today.
