I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the additions of the Hindi films Jai Mummy Di (2020) and Bypass Road (2019).

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with more than a dozen Indian films added in the last few days, including the following 2020 releases:

Some upcoming Hindi films have postponed their theatrical releases due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and more are sure to follow suit. Obviously, that’s going to affect the rate at which new releases become available on streaming services. According to Bollywood Buff, the two most recent Hindi theatrical releases — Baaghi 3 and Angrezi Medium — will become available online in May. After that, who knows? Some smaller releases may choose to head straight to streaming, especially a film like Lootcase that had considered doing so in the past. Others may choose to release simultaneously in theaters and online for rent, as Universal is doing. We’ll have to wait an see. In the meantime, keep on top of release date news on my Upcoming Bollywood Release page.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with a pair of returnees to start the month. Hum Aapka Hain Koun..! and Hum Saath-Saath Hain are available for streaming once more, although for some reason Netflix is calling Hum Saath-Saath Hain “Together for Eternity” now. The 2019 Tamil film Thambi arrives on the service on February 3.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with a bunch of new additions in the last week, including the 2019 remake Pati Patni Aur Woh, which looks gross. The 1978 original is also available on Prime, and maybe it’s better. Or you could just watch the newly added thriller Shanghai, which is awesome.

Other recently added 2019 releases include:
