I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with dozens of Indian films added in the last week, including today’s addition of Saif Ali Khan’s 2020 comedy Jawaani Jaaneman. Other recently added 2020 releases include:

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the debuts of two Netflix Originals: the stand-up comedy series Ladies Up and the cute-looking Hindi film Maska, starring Manisha Koirala. A bunch of shows and movies are heading to Netflix in the next several days, while almost a dozen titles are set to expire in the same time frame. Check them all out in the “Coming Soon” and “Expiring Soon” sections at the top of my Netflix page.
