Streaming Video News: February 18, 2026

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the streaming debut of the last major Hindi theatrical release of 2025: Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the additions of the 2026 Malayalam film Chatha Pacha and the 2025 Tamil movie Gevi. Over at What’s on Netflix, I wrote about Netflix’s quiet cancellation of Class Season 2.

In the afternoon of February 19, watch for Anurag Kashyap’s crime thriller Kennedy to make its streaming debut on ZEE5. I really enjoyed Kennedy.

Also on Thursday afternoon, watch for the premiere of the Hotstar Specials Tamil series Lucky the Superstar on Hulu.

Opening February 18: 7 Khoon Maaf

I am really looking forward to this weekend’s new Hindi release: director Vishal Bhardwaj’s 7 Khoon Maaf (“Seven Murders Forgiven”). The film is a black comedy based on Ruskin Bond’s short story “Susanna’s Seven Husbands.” It stars Priyanka Chopra in the lead role, with Bollywood heavy hitters like Naseeruddin Shah, Irrfan Khan, Neil Nitin Mukesh and John Abraham playing some of Susanna’s seven doomed husbands.

A glut of Oscar-nominated movies still taking up screen space is likely what has limited 7 Khoon Maaf‘s opening to just two theaters in the Chicago area. The movie opens on Friday, February 18, 2011, at the Big Cinemas Golf Glen 5 in Niles and Regal Cantera Stadium 30 in Warrenville.

Sports flick Patiala House gets a second week at the Golf Glen 5, Cantera 30 and AMC South Barrington 30 in South Barrington.

Other Indian movies playing in Chicagoland this weekend include Gaganam (Telugu), Katha Screenplay Darshakatvam Appalaraju (Telugu), Nadunisi Naigal (Tamil) and Vasthadu Naa Raju (Telugu) at the Golf Glen 5.
