Streaming Video News: July 11, 2024

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s addition of the Tamil film Maharaja and yesterday’s premiere of the Original comedy flick Wild Wild Punjab (which I thought was okay).

Today, ZEE5 premiered the Hindi horror comedy Kakuda, starring Sonakshi Sinha, Saqib Saleem, and Riteish Deshmukh.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with today’s premiere of the Telugu series Agnisakshi: Fire of Love and the release of the remaining episodes of the Hindi series Showtime.

No new updates to my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime this week, but do check out the recently released Original Hindi film Sharmajee Ki Beti, which I enjoyed.

Opening July 11: Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania

After a pair of releases last weekend, Chicago area theaters get another new Bollywood movie on July 11, 2014. The last scene in the trailer for Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania — in which Humpty (Varun Dhawan) cries while watching Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge — charmed me.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania opens on Friday at the AMC River East 21 in Chicago, MovieMax Cinemas in Niles, AMC South Barrington 30 in South Barrington, and Regal Cantera Stadium 17 in Warrenville. It has a listed runtime of 2 hrs. 18 min.

Only one of last weekend’s new releases sticks around for a second week (and it ain’t Lekar Hum Deewana Dil). Bobby Jasoos carries over at MovieMax, South Barrington 30, and Cantera 17. All three theaters are also holding over Ek Villain for a third week.

In case you missed The Lunchbox during one of its earlier local theatrical runs, Doc Films in Chicago is carrying it for one day only: Saturday, July 12.

Other Indian movies showing in the Chicago area this weekend include Punjab 1984 (Punjabi) at Century Stratford Square in Bloomingdale, Drushyam (Telugu) at Muvico Rosemont 18 in Rosemont and MovieMax, which is also carrying Angry Babies in Love (Malayalam), Arima Nambi (Tamil), and Bangalore Days (Malayalam).
