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:

David (2013/Tamil) — expires November 3
Uyire (1998/Tamil) — expires November 3
Oththa Seruppu Size 7 (2019/Tamil) — expires November 4
Mubarakan (2017) — expires November 5
Dorasaani (2019/Telugu) — expires November 20
Umrika (2015) — expires November 24
Evvarikee Cheppoddu (2019/Telugu) — expires November 27
Poster Boys (2017) — expires November 27

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

Opening November 1: Ujda Chaman

I don’t know why Ujda Chaman — the Hindi remake of the Kannada film Ondu Motteya Kathe (which is on Netflix) — is opening in Chicago area theaters on November 1, 2019. Housefull 4 ate Saand Ki Aankh‘s and Made in China‘s lunch last weekend. This isn’t going to go well.

Ujda Chaman opens Friday at the AMC River East 21 in Chicago, MovieMax Cinemas in Niles, and AMC South Barrington 24 in South Barrington. It has a listed runtime of 2 hours and heads to Amazon Prime when its theatrical run ends.

Housefull 4 continues to dominate the local market, carrying over at the River East 21, MovieMax, South Barrington 24, Regal Round Lake Beach in Round Lake Beach, Marcus Addison Cinema in Addison, Regal Cantera in Warrenville, Cinemark at Seven Bridges in Woodridge, and AMC Woodridge 18 in Woodridge.

Saand Ki Aankh gets a second week at MovieMax, South Barrington 24, Woodridge 18, and Cantera, which is the only theater holding over War.

Made in China sticks around at MovieMax and the South Barrington 24.

Other Indian movies playing in the Chicago area this weekend (all films have English subtitles):

Meeku Maathrame Cheptha (Telugu) at MovieMax, Seven Bridges, and Century Stratford Square in Bloomingdale
Daaka (Punjabi) at the South Barrington 24 and Stratford Square
Bigil (Tamil) at MovieMax, South Barrington 24, Stratford Square, Seven Bridges, and Marcus Gurnee Mills Cinema in Gurnee
Kaithi (Tamil) at MovieMax and Seven Bridges
Jallikattu (Malayalam) and Kaidhi (Telugu) at MovieMax

Opening November 1: Krrish 3

The big superhero blockbuster Krrish 3 is finally here. Leather-clad Hrithik Roshan swoops into Chicago area theaters on November 1, 2013.

Krrish 3 opens on Friday at the AMC River East 21 in Chicago, Regal Gardens Stadium 1-6 in Skokie, Big Cinemas Golf Glen 5 in Niles, AMC Loews Crestwood 18 in Crestwood, AMC South Barrington 30 in South Barrington, AMC Loews Woodridge 18 in Woodridge, and Regal Cantera Stadium 17 in Warrenville.
