Streaming Video News: December 8, 2023

I updated my list of Bollywood movies streaming on Netflix with a bunch of new additions yesterday. The big one is the premiere of the Original film The Archies, but Netflix also added  the Hindi theatrical release Dhak Dhak, the Malayalam movie Adrishya Jalakangal, and the Tamil flick Jigarthanda Double X (also available in Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, and Telugu). The week’s other unexpected new addition is the Norwegian holiday film Christmas as Usual, which stars comedian Kanan Gill, of all people.

A lot of Indian movies will expire from Netflix in the next month, including the great thriller Andhadhun. Here’s what’s leaving and when:

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the global debut of the Original comedy Mast Mein Rehna Ka, starring Neena Gupta and Jackie Shroff.

Zee5 premiered its own new Original Hindi film yesterday: Pankaj Tripathi’s Kadak Singh.

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the debut of the Telugu series Vadhuvu (also available in Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, and Tamil).

Opening December 8: Fukrey Returns

The comedy sequel Fukrey Returns hits Chicago area theaters on December 8, 2017. I didn’t like Fukrey, but Richa Chadda and Ali Fazal are cool, so you never know.

Fukrey Returns opens Friday at MovieMax Cinemas in Niles, AMC South Barrington 24 in South Barrington, and Regal Cantera Stadium 17 in Warrenville. It has a listed runtime of 2 hrs. 11 min.

All three of the above theaters carry over Firangi and Tumhari Sulu. The AMC Loews Woodridge 18 in Woodrige gives an eighth week to Secret Superstar.
