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.

While Tiger 3 gets ready to hit theaters this weekend, its eventual streaming home is Amazon Prime, likely sometime in January.

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.

There are a few Indian titles scheduled to expire from Netflix this month, but the real news is that Netflix is poised to lose almost its entire Punjabi collection on December 1:

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the addition of the Telugu film Skanda: The Attacker (also in Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil) and the debut of Season 3 of the Hindi series Aarya (also in Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu).

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):

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s streaming debut of Ayushmann Khurrana’s comedy Dream Girl 2. [You can watch the first Dream Girl on Zee5.] Yesterday, the Original Hindi survival series Kaala Paani (“Dark Water“) premiered on Netflix.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s addition of the Telugu movie Maama Mascheendra. Earlier this week, the third season of the Hindi series Permanent Roommates premiered on Prime, although previous seasons are not available for streaming in the United States.

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the launch of the Telugu horror series Mansion 24, (also available in Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, and Tamil).

I updated my list of Bollywood movies Netflix with today’s premiere of director Vishal Bhardwaj’s spy film Khufiya, starring Tabu and Ali Fazal. Yesterday marked the streaming debut of the Telugu movie Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty. The Akshay Kumar-Pankaj Tripathi comedy OMG 2 comes to Netflix on October 7 (though it’s the censored version, unfortunately).

There are some Netflix expiration dates to keep aware of. Sanju departs the service on October 15, followed by Baadshaho (which is not great) and Mr. Chandramouli on October 17.

Besides OMG 2, the other new Independence Day theatrical release to hit streaming this weekend is Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2, which debuted today on Zee5.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s premiere of Mumbai Diaries Season 2.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the streaming debut of Superstar Rajinikanth’s film Jailer. Multiple language versions are available in the movie’s audio menu.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with a September 14 streaming release date for the Telugu film Ramabanam.

Yesterday, Zee5 premiered the revenge drama Haddi, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui. I watched about 40 minutes of it, but I found the story muddled and decided not to finish it.
