I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the streaming debuts of Mohanlal’s Malayalam thriller Drishyam 3 and the Telugu mystery Mareechika.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the premiere of Season 2 of the Hindi series Thukra Ka Mera Pyaar (also available in Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu).

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the somewhat random addition of Kalank (which looks great but has a weak story). Dhurandhar: The Revenge finally became available on Netflix in India today, which means nothing new for the rest of us internationally.

Friday’s new Hindi release is a big one: filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s Raavan, a reimagining of the ancient epic poem the Ramayana. Ratnam filmed a Tamil version of the movie titled Raavanan simultaneously with some of the same cast, then dubbed that into Telugu (Villain). All three movies open worldwide on June 18, 2010.

In the Chicago area, Raavan (Hindi) opens at:
