I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s streaming debut of the Tamil film Kaantha. Today also marked the start of Yash Raj Films’ “Holiday Season” event, where two movies from the studio’s back catalog will be added to Netflix every day until December 27. Here’s what was added today, plus links to what we know is coming:

December 11: Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi (2002) & Mujhse Dosti Karoge! (2002)
December 12: Bewakoofiyaan (2014) & Mere Dad Ki Maruthi (2013)
December 13: Bank Chor (2017) & Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! (2015)
December 15: Sui Dhaaga: Made in India (2018)
December 16: Daawat-e-Ishq (2014) & Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (2011)
December 17: Qaidi Band (2017) & Titli (2014)
December 18: Aurangzeb (2013) & Thugs of Hindostan (2018)
December 22: Aaha Kalyanam (2014/Tamil)
December 26: Hichki (2018)

The new Netflix Original Hindi comedy series Single Papa debuts on Friday.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the addition of the Telugu film 12A Railway Colony. Amazon also added the Telugu version of Jatadhara, but not the Hindi version.

ZEE5 premiered a new Hindi film starring Radhika Apte today: Saali Mohabbat.

Months after Aamir Khan took his movies off of streaming services and made them available for rent on YouTube, another movie rental platform has debuted as a viewing option. The social cataloging service Letterboxd (follow me on Letterboxd here) has launched a virtual video store in specializing in hard-to-find films. One of the first movies they are offering is Anurag Kashyap’s thriller Kennedy, which played at the Cannes Film Festival and 2023 and then disappeared. It never released in theaters or on any streaming service. It’s now available for rent in select countries (not India, unfortunately) until January 9, 2026. In the US, a 48-hour rental costs $19.99 — not cheap, but fair considering it’s been impossible to find until now. You can rent Kennedy here, or check out the other movies available for rent.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s streaming debut of the Hindi romantic comedy Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. Several films will be added to Netflix Thursday afternoon in the United States, including:

Netflix also released a trailer for its upcoming Original Tamil thriller film Stephen, which debuts December 5:

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s addition of the English-dubbed version and the Hindi-dubbed version of the Kannada film Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the addition of two big theatrical releases: the Tamil film Bison Kaalamaadan and India’s submission to the 2026 Oscars, Homebound (which is terrific). Note that the version of Homebound playing on Netflix is the censored version that aired in Indian cinemas and not the version that I reviewed. I wrote about some of the scenes that were cut from the censored version of Homebound earlier this year.

The star-packed reality special Dining With The Kapoors debuts on Netflix on Friday.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s debut of Season 3 of The Family Man.

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the premiere of the Tamil series Nadu Center (also available in Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, and Telugu). Also new is the Hindi series Ziddi Ishq (also available in Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu)

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with a bunch of new additions. Besides the premiere of Season 3 of Delhi Crime, the 2025 films added today include: Dude (Tamil), Jolly LLB 3 (Hindi), and Telusu Kada (Telugu). Other additions include a handful of Classic Yash Raj Films titles:

Earlier this week, it was reported that Jolly LLB 3 will stream concurrently on Netflix and JioHotstar. I suspect that only applies to India, as there is no sign of Jolly LLB 3 on Hulu in the United States. I did update my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the streaming debut of the Malayalam film Avihitham (also available in Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu).

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the streaming debut of director Anurag Kashyap’s Hindi film Nishaanchi— AND the world premiere of Nishaanchi 2! They just skipped theaters and dropped the sequel with no prior notice!

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the streaming debuts of Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi 4 and the Kannada blockbuster Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with Dhanush’s Idli Kadai and the silent comedy Ufff Yeh Siyapaa, starring Sohum Shah, Nushrratt Bharuccha, and Nora Fatehi. Netflix released a trailer for the Original Hindi thriller Baramulla, which debuts November 7:

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with some random catalogue additions, including the Bengali films Sentimentaaal and Shudhu Tomari Jonyo and the series Kajalmaya (Marathi) and Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahi (Hindi). The Malayalam hit movie Lokah Chapter One: Chandra is supposedly coming to Hulu/Jiohotstar, but it’s not up yet (if we actually do get it in the United States).

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the streaming premiere of War 2. The main catalogue entry features Hindi and Tamil dialogue options than can be chosen from the audio menu. There is a separate catalogue entry for the Telugu-dubbed version of War 2. I have no idea why. The animated series Kurukshetra: The Great War of Mahabrata debuts October 10, but that’s the last official Netflix premiere date on the calendar for now.

In other news, Netflix made some user interface changes to downplay identifying Netflix Original shows and films as Netflix Originals. Again, I am not sure why.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the premiere of Konkona Sen Sharma’s Hindi series Search: The Naina Murder Case (also available in Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu).

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the addition of the Hindi-dubbed version of Rajnikanth’s film Coolie, renamed Coolie: The Powerhouse.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s streaming debuts of Kajol’s horror flick Maa and the Tamil film Maareesan. There are more upcoming Netflix expiration dates to be aware of, besides those I mentioned last week. I’m especially sad to see Cargo leave. Here’s the films on the way out:

This isn’t related to Indian cinema, but I wrote a piece for What’s on Netflix about what animated films to watch if your kids are obsessed with Kpop Demon Hunters and you need to redirect them to something different. This is a global problem. 😉

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s streaming debut of the Tamil film Thalaivan Thalaivii. The Telugu movie Hari Hara Veera Mallu joined the catalog earlier this week. Prime made two big announcements today, including an 8-film post-theatrical licensing deal with Maddock Films and an August 29 premiere date for the new Original Hindi movie Songs of Paradise.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s addition of the Tamil action film Retro. Yesterday, the streamer added the Telugu sequel HIT: The Third Case to the catalog, and Salman Khan’s Sikandar became available over the weekend. Netflix also renewed three Hindi series for additional seasons: The Royals, Black Warrant, and Mismatched, for its fourth and final season.

A bunch of Telugu movies and the Hindi film Axone are set to expire from Netflix in June:

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the debut of the new Hindi series Criminal Justice: A Family Matter (also available in Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu). Disney — the company that owns Hulu — announced new perks programs for Disney+ and Hulu subscribers, with further details on the Hulu program coming June 2.

There are no new Indian movies on Amazon Prime this week, but I am excited to watch the kidnapping thriller Stolen when it premieres June 4 (the afternoon of June 3 in the US):

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s streaming debut of John Abraham’s political thriller The Diplomat. Yesterday, the streamer added the Tamil film Good Bad Ugly and the Telugu comedy Jack. All eyes are on tomorrow’s premiere of the new Hindi Original romance series The Royals, starring Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s premiere of the Hindi series Gram Chikitsalay and yesterday’s addition of Tamannaah Bhatia’s Telugu supernatural thriller Odela 2. News broke today that the romantic comedy Bhool Chuk Maaf — starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi — is forgoing its planned May 9 theatrical release and instead premiering directly on Amazon Prime on May 16 (or the afternoon of May 15 if you’re in the United States). [Update: The movie’s release on Prime probably won’t happen as scheduled due to a lawsuit. Update 2: Bhool Chuk Maaf will get a theatrical release, but with a shorter exclusivity window. It could come to Prime as soon as June 6.]

Announcement: In light of recent events and the heightened security drills across the nation, we at Maddock Films and Amazon MGM Studios have decided to bring our family entertainer Bhool Chuk Maaf directly to your homes on May 16--only on Prime Video, worldwide. While we were eagerly looking forward to celebrating this film with you in theaters, the spirit of the nation comes first. Jai Hind.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s world premiere of the Hindi horror flick Chhorii 2. This is a true sequel to 2021’s Chhorii, which I really enjoyed. Amazon Prime also announced an April 24 streaming debut for the great film Superboys of Malegaon.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with today’s debut of Season 6 of the Hindi animated series The Legend of Hanuman (also available in Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu). Hulu randomly added the 1994 Hindi film Dulara earlier this week.

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with a trio of newly added theatrical releases: Chhaava (Hindi), Court: State vs a Nobody (Telugu), and Perusu (Tamil).

The BIG Netflix news is that 3 dozen movies from UTV Motion Pictures are set to expire on April 30. A mass UTV exodus happened before in 2022, and while most of the films that expired returned after a month or two, some didn’t come back — and a lot of those movies aren’t streaming anywhere in the United States. If there’s something on this list that you really want to watch (or re-watch), best to prioritize it, just in case. Here’s what’s leaving Netflix at the end of this month:
