I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s premiere of the Amazon Original Telugu movie Cheekatilo, starring Sobhita Dhulipala. Bhumi Pednekar’s grim-looking new crime series Daldal premieres January 29:

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with today’s premiere of the Hotstar Specials Hindi series Space Gen: Chandrayaan (also streaming in Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu).

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the streaming debut of the Hindi film Tere Ishk Mein.

If the traditional “8-week theatrical exclusivity window for Hindi films” pattern holds true, Dhurandhar should become available for streaming next Thursday afternoon (January 29) in the United States. Netflix is reportedly the movie’s streaming partner, and they supposedly paid a ton of money for it. Given how well Dhurandhar continues to do at the box office, I won’t be surprised if they negotiate a deal to keep it off of Netflix for a couple weeks longer. I haven’t heard anything to indicate that that will happen, but it’s what I’d try to do if I’d produced Dhurandhar.

Today, Netflix announced its annual Pandigai slate of licensed Tamil films that will stream on Netflix in 2026 after their theatrical runs end. Cinema Express has the full list of titles. (Update: Netflix revealed their Telugu post-theatrical slate the next day.)

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s streaming debuts of the Hindi comedy De De Pyaar De 2 and the Telugu action sequel Akhanda 2. The Hindi social drama Haq was added last week, while I was still on vacation.

December was a super busy month at Netflix, so check out my December 2025 Indian roundup at What’s on Netflix to make sure you didn’t miss anything. While you’re there, you can see what shows and movies are on the way in my 2026 Netflix Indian Originals preview.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with a new Tamil series added while I was on vacation — LBW: Love Beyond Wicket (also available in Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, and Telugu).

There was nothing added to Amazon Prime today in the US, but they did announce a January 23 premiere date for a new Original Telugu movie called Cheekatilo, starring Sobhita Dhulipala.

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)

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 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 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.
