I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s world premiere of the Hindi film Sharmajee Ki Beti, starring Divya Dutta and Saiyami Kher.
Today’s other world premiere Hindi film is Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Rauta Ka Raaz, streaming now on Zee5.
I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with today’s addition of the Hindi-dubbed version of the Malayalam film Aavesham. 2014’s Total Siyapaa is also now streaming. It’s not that great.
Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the addition of the Telugu film Bhaje Vaayu Vegam. I also wrote a preview of Wild Wild Punjab for What’s on Netflix ahead of the film’s July 10 release.
If you’re looking for a fun podcast to listen to this weekend, I was recently a guest on the Bollywood Drafts Podcast. The premise of the podcast is to take a collection of films and rank them in reverse order from 13 to 1 to find the best movie of the bunch. Past topics include the films of Shah Rukh Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. For our episode, four of us — me, Shah Shahid, Nim Kaur, and Erin Fraser — ranked the movies that have won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress in the 21st Century. My unorthodox playing style may have driven host Manish Mathur a little crazy. Please give it a listen here. It was a blast to record!
