Streaming Video News: May 7, 2026

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.

Streaming Video News: July 31, 2025

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s streaming debut of both versions of Housefull 5 (each with a different ending): Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s streaming debut of the Telugu film Thammudu.

ZEE5 premiered the new Hindi series Bakaiti today, starring Rajesh Tailang and Sheeba Chaddha. It has just 7 episodes that average about 20-minutes long — so about two-and-a-half hours to finish the series.

The big news this week is that Aamir Khan opted to make his recent theatrical release Sitaare Zameen Par available for rent on YouTube rather than sell the rights to a subscription streaming service. Click here to rent Sitaare Zameen Par in the United States for $6.99. It has Hindi and Turkish audio options and a “CC” logo, which I hope means English subtitles, but I haven’t verified that yet. News stories had made it seem like Khan would host the rental on his Aamir Khan Talkies page, but the rental is done via the YouTube Movies & TV channel.

Happy New Year! I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with a ton of surprise additions to the catalog from late last month — most of them older Hindi theatrical releases from Alt Balaji and Salman Khan Films. I wrote about them in detail for my December Indian roundup for What’s on Netflix. Here’s what was added:

The new series Black Warrant debuts on Netflix on Friday, January 10. I wrote about it in detail for What’s on Netflix as well.

We’re in a quiet period for streaming right now, with few theatrical releases waiting to debut online and only a handful of Original series set to launch on Netflix and Hulu in the coming weeks. In the meantime, check out director Dibakar Banerjee’s new short film Badminton — starring Jim Sarbh and Sayani Gupta — which you can stream on YouTube or watch below:

Streaming Video News: September 5, 2024

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s premiere of Ananya Panday’s comedy series Call Me Bae. The Telugu film Double iSmart is also streaming on Prime.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s addition of the Malayalam film Adios Amigo. Netflix released a trailer for the thriller Sector 36, coming September 13:

One of the biggest Hindi box office bombs of last year was Arjun Kapoor & Bhumi Pednekar’s thriller The Lady Killer, which wasn’t even complete when it released. Since no OTT platforms were interested in buying the streaming rights, T-Series made it available for free on YouTube. Watch The Lady Killer on YouTube here (with English subtitles).

Director Aditya Kripalani’s film Not Today: A Suicide Prevention Story is also streaming free on YouTube with English subtitles.

Streaming Video News: April 5, 2024

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the streaming debut of Shahid Kapoor & Kriti Sanon’s February theatrical release Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with three dubbed versions of the 2024 Telugu film Hanu-Man, now available in Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil. The original Telugu version of Hanu-Man streams on Zee5.

Speaking of Zee5, they just added the 2023 Hindi heist film Farrey to their catalogue. It’s a remake of the 2017 Thai movie Bad Genius.

Another 2023 Hindi film that’s been awaiting a streaming release is Manoj Bajpayee’s well-regarded drama Joram. Thanks to @CinemaRareIN on X for noting that the full version of Joram (with English subtitles) is now streaming on the Zee Music Company YouTube channel:
