Streaming Video News: December 1, 2023

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the addition of a couple of theatrical releases: Akshay Kumar’s disaster drama Mission Raniganj and Bhumi Pednekar’s comedy Thank You for Coming (which I thought was okay). Some older Telugu films were added as well:

If you missed any of the Indian content Netflix added last month, my November roundup is now up at What’s on Netflix.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the addition of the Malayalam film Garudan and two new Amazon Original series: Shehar Lakhot (Hindi) and Dhootha (Telugu).

Next week is going to be really busy for new streaming-exclusive Hindi films. The big one, of course, is The Archies (read my preview at What’s on Netflix) on Netflix on Thursday, December 7. [For some reason, Netflix is adding the theatrical release Dhak Dhak that day as well.] Then, on December 8 — although more likely the afternoon of the 7th in North America — Amazon Prime debuts the comedy Mast Mein Rehna Ka starring Jackie Shroff and Neena Gupta and Zee5 launches the Pankaj Tripathi thriller Kadak Singh. Clear your schedule, ’cause there’s gonna be a lot of new stuff to watch!

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s world premiere of the Hindi war drama Pippa, starring Ishaan Khatter and Mrunal Thakur. Amazon also added the Tamil film Pulikkuthi Pandi today.

Streaming Video News: November 3, 2023

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s addition of the Telugu movie MAD and Wednesday’s streaming debut of Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster Jawan (also available in Tamil and Telugu). While Netflix bills their version as the “Extended Cut,” it’s only one minute longer than the theatrical release.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the Tamil film Raththam and the premiere of the Hindi mystery series PI Meena. Keep in mind that searching for it as “P. I. Meena” returns no results. It can only be found by searching for “PI Meena.”

Amazon Prime is getting a big direct-to-streaming release with Pippa, starring Ishaan Khattar and Mrunal Thakur. The war drama debuts on Prime on November 10 (likely the afternoon of November 9 in the US):
