Streaming Video News: November 1, 2024

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with yesterday’s timely addition of 2007’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa (which I enjoyed). It joins Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 for streaming, in case you want to catch up on the franchise before heading to the theater for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 this weekend.

If those films have you in a spooky mood, I wrote about all the Indian Original horror movies and series on Netflix for What’s on Netflix (with a bonus list of all the licensed Indian horror films currently streaming).

And if that still isn’t enough scary content for you, I appeared on the “Bollywood Horror Top 13” episode of the Bollywood Drafts podcast. Josh Hurtado, Erin Fraser, Matt Bowes, and I had a spirited discussion about the best Hindi horror flicks, but ultimately I got to choose the movie that ranked #1.

Back over at What’s on Netflix, I also posted a mega roundup of all the new Indian content added to Netflix in September and October.

There are a number of Indian films expiring from Netflix in November:

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with yesterday’s addition of the Tamil film Black.

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the addition of the Tamil film Lubber Pandhu (also available dubbed in Hindi and Malayalam).

Things will be busy on the streamers next week, with the following debuts scheduled:

November 6: Citadel: Honey Bunny, Season 1 on Prime (at 1:30 pm ET)
November 7: The Buckingham Murders on Netflix
November 8: ARM (Malayalam) on Hulu; Vettaiyan (Tamil) on Prime; Vijay 69 on Netflix

Happy Diwali! — Kathy

Guest Appearance on Bollywood Is For Lovers Podcast

Erin Fraser and Matt Bowes of Bollywood Is For Lovers graciously invited me to appear on a recent episode their podcast (after getting Shah Shahid of the Split Screen Podcast to waive my non-compete clause). They even let me pick the movies to discuss! Despite their having already covered a bunch of my favorite topics on previous episodes — Bipasha Basu horror movies, Jism 2, and a Randeep Hooda special with Shah — I was able to find a sub-genre Erin and Matt hadn’t yet discussed: Bollywood martial arts movies!

The two movies featured in the episode are the underrated Commando: A One Man Army and the ridiculous Baaghi. The films star two very different leading men: lifetime martial arts devotee Vidyut Jammwal and Bollywood scion Tiger Shroff. (I was excited to learn that Erin is also a huge fan of Tiger’s A Flying Jatt!) Commando and Baaghi both spawned sequels, so check them out — then listen to the podcast!

Thanks again, Erin and Matt!
