I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the premiere of the Netflix Original film Maa Behen, starring Madhuri Dixit and Triptii Dimri. I really liked Maa Behen (and I previewed it for What’s on Netflix). Netflix also added the Tamil film 29. Make sure you didn’t miss any of the Indian movies and series added to Netflix in May with my monthly What’s on Netflix roundup.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with two new business-themed Hindi series: The Pyramid Scheme and Made in India: A Titan Story, starring Naseeruddin Shah and Jim Sarbh. The streamer also added the Hindi version of the 2026 film Dacoit (the Telugu version was already available).

Karisma Kapoor’s new thriller series Brown debuted on Zee5.

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with some non-exclusive series.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with two new series this week: the Malayalam series Cousins & Kalyanams (also in Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu) and the Tamil series Brothers and Sisters (also in Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, and Telugu). Note that these new shows are not dubbed into Bengali or Marathi, as Hulu/JioHotstar Originals traditionally have been. I’m guessing this is the plan going forward, but I haven’t read anything official about it.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with several additions in the last two weeks: the Netflix Original reality series Desi Bling and the movies Kesari (Hindi), Kara (Tamil), and Bharathanatyam (Malayalam).

For a piece at What’s on Netflix, I looked through every Netflix India Original movie and series to find out which actors have appeared in the most Netflix India Originals. It was a lot of fun to see which actors made the list and which didn’t (honestly surprised that Manoj Bajpayee wasn’t in the Top 10). Do check out the article “Which Star Has the Most Appearances in Netflix India Originals? The Top 10 Actors Ranked.” I really enjoyed putting it together.

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the premiere of Sonakshi Sinha’s Original film System and the Telugu movie Gaayapadda Simham.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the premiere of the new Tamil series Exam. Ajay Devgn’s 2016 adventure film Shivaay was randomly added to Prime earlier this week, but you can skip it.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with Season 2 of Randeep Hooda’s cop series Inspector Avinash (also available in Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu, although not all episodes are available in each language as of the time of this writing). Inspector Avinash originally debuted on JioCinema in 2023, and Season 1 is not currently offered on Hulu.

Finally, I’ll update my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix on Friday when the Original thriller Kartavya and Dhurdhar: The Revenge become available for streaming.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the premiere of the Original Hindi series Lukkhe and the addition of the Telugu film Dacoit. The Hindi version of Dacoit — which was filmed simultaneously — is not on Prime and doesn’t have a streaming home at present. Season 2 of Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s English-language action series Citadel debuted earlier this week. Plus, Amazon renewed its recently released series Matka King for a second season.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s streaming debut of the Malayalam film Bharathanatyam 2 Mohiniyattam.

We’ve got a few notable Hindi releases coming to streaming in the next couple of weeks. Dhurandhar: The Revenge should debut on JioHotstar in India on or around May 14, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll get it on Hulu (JioHotstar’s US equivalent). I suspect we will, but it’s not guaranteed. [Update: Dhurandhar: The Revenge comes to Netflix internationally on May 15.] Saif Ali Khan’s Netflix Original crime movie Kartavya premieres on May 15, followed by Sonakshi Sinha’s Amazon Original courtroom drama film System in the afternoon of May 21. I’m intrigued by all of them.

The great account CinemaRare on X posted that the previously unreleased 2000 film The Last Tenant starring Irrfan and Vidya Balan is now available on YouTube. Per CinemaRare, “The film remained unreleased for 25 years after the original footage was lost. Director Sarthak Dasgupta recovered a surviving VHS copy, allowing for its restoration and release.” You can watch The Last Tenant here. It doesn’t have subtitles, unfortunately.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s additions of the Hindi film Nukkad Naatak and the Tamil romcom Nee Forever. The 2018 action comedy Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota (“The Man Who Feels No Pain“) will expire from Netflix on May 22. It’s one of my favorite movies and its Blu-ray is out of print, so check it out while you have the chance.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s streaming debut of the Tamil film Happy Raj. Season 2 of the Hindi series Sapne Vs Everyone releases May 1:

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s premiere of the period crime drama Matka King, starring Vijay Varma.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s streaming debut of the romance Do Deewane Seher Mein, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur. Yesterday saw the premiere of Rajkummar Rao’s new Hindi Original dark comedy film Toaster, which was a little disappointing. Other new additions yesterday include the Telugu action flick Ustaad Bhagat Singh and the Tamil movie Youth.

Taapsee Pannu’s courtroom drama Assi debuted on ZEE5 today.

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with yesterday’s addition of the Malayalam film Sambhavam Adhyayam Onnu (also available in Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu). Himesh Reshammiya’s 2025 flick Badass Ravi Kumar finally makes its streaming debut on JioHotstar in India on April 18, but the official Hulu Support account on Twitter, er X, says it’s not scheduled to come to Hulu as of right now. Bummer.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s streaming debut of director Vishal Bhardwaj’s O’Romeo.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s addition of the Hindi survival thriller Tu Yaa Main. Earlier this week, Netflix added the 2021 American Desi comedy India Sweets and Spices, which I really enjoyed.

Today’s new straight-to-streaming release is the Hindi murder mystery Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa, which made its debut on ZEE5. The theatrical release of a new British Desi version of Hamlet got me thinking about Vishal Bhardwaj’s great adaptation Haider. It’s available on ZEE5, if you’re in the mood to revisit it (or watch it for the first time).

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the streaming debut of Sunny Deol’s war drama Border 2.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the addition of the Telugu film Vishnu Vinyasam. Yesterday, Amazon revealed it’s 2026 slate of Indian Original movies and series. I included all the of titles that were announced with “first look” videos in the “Coming Soon” section on my Amazon Prime page, but Variety India has details on all of the newly announced titles and returning series.

As of right now, only episodes 3 & 6 of the new Hindi series Chiraiya are available on Hulu. I’ll update my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with links to every language version when they finish uploading all of the episodes.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with a few new additions today: the 2026 theatrical releases Funky (Telugu) and Pennum Porattum (Malayalam), plus the Netflix Original Tamil film Made in Korea. Note that Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees (which I thought was fine) expires from Netflix on March 15.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the new Tamil series Local Times, Season 3 of the Hindi series Aspirants, and the 2026 Telugu film Couple Friendly (also available dubbed in Tamil).

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

If none of these new titles interest you, check out my Best Bollywood Movies of 2025 post. All ten films on the list are great and are currently available for streaming in the United States.
