I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s streaming debut of the Hindi war film 120 Bahadur, starring Farhan Akhtar. Earlier this week, the streamer added the Telugu movie Dhandoraa.

New today on ZEE5 is the Hindi family drama Safia/Safdar, which made its World Premiere at the 2025 Chicago South Asian Film Festival.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix earlier this week with the premiere of the Original Hindi thriller series Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web. For more information on the new show from director Neeraj Pandey, check out my preview for What’s on Netflix.

Today, Netflix announced its annual Pandigai slate of licensed Tamil films that will stream on Netflix in 2026 after their theatrical runs end. Cinema Express has the full list of titles. (Update: Netflix revealed their Telugu post-theatrical slate the next day.)

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with December 28 expiration dates for all of the Excel Entertainment films currently in the Netflix catalog. Those titles are:

These films flip-flop between Netflix and Amazon Prime every three years. Most of them are already streaming on Prime, except for Game and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (which is on Eros Now).

Two other Hindi films will expire from Netflix on December 31: Sanju and PK (★★★½).

The Yash Raj Films returns event proceeds apace on Netflix, with a Ranveer Singh collection coming in the afternoon of Thursday, December 4 in the United States and a Salman Khan collection coming December 26. There’s also a “Holiday Season” event running from December 11-27 with two films joining the Netflix catalog each day. Here are the titles and dates we know so far:

December 12 – Bewakoofiyaan & Mere Dad Ki Maruthi
December 13 – Bank Chor & Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!
December 15 – Sui Dhaaga: Made in India
December 16 – Daawat-e-Ishq & Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
December 23 – Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year (per CinemaRare)
December 24 – Bunty Aur Babli (per CinemaRare)

Finally, Netflix very quietly announced the return of The Great Indian Kapil Show by adding “Season 4 Coming December 20” tag to its landing page.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with a bunch of new additions. Besides the premiere of Season 3 of Delhi Crime, the 2025 films added today include: Dude (Tamil), Jolly LLB 3 (Hindi), and Telusu Kada (Telugu). Other additions include a handful of Classic Yash Raj Films titles:

Earlier this week, it was reported that Jolly LLB 3 will stream concurrently on Netflix and JioHotstar. I suspect that only applies to India, as there is no sign of Jolly LLB 3 on Hulu in the United States. I did update my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the streaming debut of the Malayalam film Avihitham (also available in Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu).

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the streaming debut of director Anurag Kashyap’s Hindi film Nishaanchi— AND the world premiere of Nishaanchi 2! They just skipped theaters and dropped the sequel with no prior notice!

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the streaming premiere of War 2. The main catalogue entry features Hindi and Tamil dialogue options than can be chosen from the audio menu. There is a separate catalogue entry for the Telugu-dubbed version of War 2. I have no idea why. The animated series Kurukshetra: The Great War of Mahabrata debuts October 10, but that’s the last official Netflix premiere date on the calendar for now.

In other news, Netflix made some user interface changes to downplay identifying Netflix Original shows and films as Netflix Originals. Again, I am not sure why.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the premiere of Konkona Sen Sharma’s Hindi series Search: The Naina Murder Case (also available in Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu).

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the addition of the Hindi-dubbed version of Rajnikanth’s film Coolie, renamed Coolie: The Powerhouse.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s addition of the Tamil action film Retro. Yesterday, the streamer added the Telugu sequel HIT: The Third Case to the catalog, and Salman Khan’s Sikandar became available over the weekend. Netflix also renewed three Hindi series for additional seasons: The Royals, Black Warrant, and Mismatched, for its fourth and final season.

A bunch of Telugu movies and the Hindi film Axone are set to expire from Netflix in June:

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the debut of the new Hindi series Criminal Justice: A Family Matter (also available in Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu). Disney — the company that owns Hulu — announced new perks programs for Disney+ and Hulu subscribers, with further details on the Hulu program coming June 2.

There are no new Indian movies on Amazon Prime this week, but I am excited to watch the kidnapping thriller Stolen when it premieres June 4 (the afternoon of June 3 in the US):

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s streaming debut of John Abraham’s political thriller The Diplomat. Yesterday, the streamer added the Tamil film Good Bad Ugly and the Telugu comedy Jack. All eyes are on tomorrow’s premiere of the new Hindi Original romance series The Royals, starring Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s premiere of the Hindi series Gram Chikitsalay and yesterday’s addition of Tamannaah Bhatia’s Telugu supernatural thriller Odela 2. News broke today that the romantic comedy Bhool Chuk Maaf — starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi — is forgoing its planned May 9 theatrical release and instead premiering directly on Amazon Prime on May 16 (or the afternoon of May 15 if you’re in the United States). [Update: The movie’s release on Prime probably won’t happen as scheduled due to a lawsuit. Update 2: Bhool Chuk Maaf will get a theatrical release, but with a shorter exclusivity window. It could come to Prime as soon as June 6.]

Announcement: In light of recent events and the heightened security drills across the nation, we at Maddock Films and Amazon MGM Studios have decided to bring our family entertainer Bhool Chuk Maaf directly to your homes on May 16--only on Prime Video, worldwide. While we were eagerly looking forward to celebrating this film with you in theaters, the spirit of the nation comes first. Jai Hind.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the streaming debut of the Hindi film I Want To Talk, starring Abhishek Bachchan. This drama got a small run out in US theaters last year, so this is likely the first opportunity many people will have to watch it. According to Suchin Mehrotra, it’s worth prioritizing. Yesterday, Prime premiered Season 2 of Paatal Lok.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the celebrity docu-series The Roshans. Each of the four episodes focuses on a different member of the famous Bollywood family. A couple of days ago, Netflix added the 2024 Malayalam comedy Rifle Club.

Starting next week, we head into an exciting period where a few indie movies — including some that played at film festivals — are poised to finally get a global release. On January 24 (more likely the afternoon of the 23rd in the US), ZEE5 debuts Madhavan’s Hisaab Barabar and Hulu launches the youthful romance Sweet Dreams. Then on January 28 (again, probably the 27th in the US), Hulu debuts The Storyteller, which was nominated for multiple festival awards in 2022 and 2023. There’s always a chance that these films are India exclusives and won’t release in the US, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
