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:
