I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s surprise additions of the Hindi romantic drama Starfish and the Telugu action film Salaar (also available in Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil). Netflix also announced a February 9 premiere date for the Original thriller movie Bhakshak, starring Bhumi Pednekar.

Two Irrfan Khan movies will expire from Netflix next month. Talvar (which is great) leaves February 1, followed by the Bengali film Doob: No Bed of Roses on February 4.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with Thursday’s debut of the Hindi series Indian Police Force, starring Sidharth Malhotra in his first web series.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the debut of the Malayalam series Perilloor Premier League (also available in Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu).

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with addition of the Malayalam film Kaathal – The Core. The big news is that Tiger 3 debuts on Prime on January 7. [Update: Tiger 3 is streaming now on Prime.] Amazon also released the official trailer for Sidharth Malhotra’s new web series Indian Police Force, premiering January 19:

Kangana Ranaut’s action film Tejas is now showing on Zee5.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s premiere of the Netflix Original Malayalam documentary Curry & Cyanide: The Jolly Joseph Case. Yesterday was busy, with the additions of Aadi Keshava (Telugu), Kuiko (Tamil), and Sajini Shinde Ka Viral Video (Hindi).

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with the premiere of the Amazon Original Hindi film Dry Day. The Tamil flick 80s Buildup was added as well.

I’m taking much of the rest of 2023 off, but there are a lot of Hindi films hitting streaming in the days to come. Here’s what to look forward to (note that titles on Amazon Prime and Zee5 may be available in the United States the day before):

December 26 — Kho Gaye Hum Kahan on Netflix
December 28 — Shastry Virudh Shastry and Three of Us on Netflix; 12th Fail on Hulu
December 29 — Dono, Once Upon Two Times, & Safed on Zee5; Wedding.con, Season 1 on Prime

If you really, really want to plan ahead for the future, I wrote a massive preview of all of the new Indian Original series and movies coming to Netflix in 2024 and beyond for What’s on Netflix. It was quite the undertaking, but I’m pleased with the results.

Thanks again for another wonderful year at Access Bollywood — and special thanks to everyone who donated via PayPal and Venmo! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! — Kathy

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 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 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 Hulu with today’s debut of two brand new Indian series: the Hindi show Kaala (available in Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs) and the Tamil series MY3 (also in Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, and Telugu). MY3 is an official remake of the 2017 Korean series I’m Not a Robot.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon with this week’s premiere of the new Hindi series Bambai Meri Jaan (“Bombay My Beloved“).

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with the streaming debuts of the Telugu films Ramabanam and Bhola Shankar. Netflix also announced an October 5 release date for director Vishal Bhardwaj’s Netflix Original movie Khufiya (aka “House of Spies“):

If you want to read more about next week’s big premiere of director Sujoy Ghosh’s Netflix Original thriller Jaane Jaan (aka “Suspect X“), check out this preview I wrote for What’s on Netflix.

Finally, I was able to review Bhumi Pednekar’s comedy Thank You for Coming ahead of its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s set to release in Indian theaters on October 6 and will eventually land on Netflix. If you want an early sneak peak, check out my review of Thank You for Coming.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with today’s additions of the Hindi romance Satyaprem Ki Katha and the Tamil horror flick Pizza 3: The Mummy. Earlier this week, the Kannada film Aachar & Co became available for streaming.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with today’s debut of Tamannaah Bhatia’s new Hindi crime series Aakhri Sach, which is available in Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu as well. The first two episodes are available for streaming right now, with new episodes added on Fridays (Thursday afternoons in the US, probably).

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s addition of the Telugu movie Bro., which is also available in Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil.

News leaked this week that Sujoy Ghosh’s Netflix Original film adaptation of the novel The Devotion of Suspect X starring Kareena Kapoor Khan will be called Jaane Jaan (although in the US, the title is listed as “Suspect X,” for some reason). Netflix made a cute video celebrating Kareena’s streaming debut (which may happen next month). [Update: Netflix officially announced its release date as September 21, Bebo’s birthday]:

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s big premiere of the new Original dark comedy series Guns & Gulaabs, Raj & DK’s first show for Netflix. Earlier in the week, Netflix added a trio of older Telugu films to the catalog: Kavacham, Roja, and Yuddham Sharanam.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon Prime with yesterday’s additions of the Tamil film Kolai and the debut of the docuseries AP Dhillon: First of a Kind.

Finally, I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the premiere of the Tamil series Mathagam (also available in Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, and Telugu). As of now, only the first episode of the series is available under the “Season 1” tab — a clue that something is wrong since there is only one season. You have to switch to “Season 2” to find the next four episodes of Mathagam. I’m sure Hulu will fix this at some point.

Hulu also added the great 2022 American Desi comedy Four Samosas — a terrific film if you’re looking for something fun to watch over the weekend.

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s premiere of the docuseries The Hunt for Veerappan and yesterday’s addition of the Telugu film Rangabali. There’s no sign of Jimmy Shergill’s new series Choona, which was supposed to release on August 3. I suspect that’s to leave more space before the launch of Guns & Gulaabs on August 18. Netflix describes both shows as “Offbeat, Exciting” in their catalog entries, and there’s a good chance Choona could be eclipsed by the higher profile new show from Raj & DK.

Netflix released a video announcing a September 1 release date for the new Excel Entertainment movie Friday Night Plan, about two teenage brothers who make big plans when their mom (Juhi Chawla) leaves them home alone for the night.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Hulu with the premiere of the new Telugu series Dayaa (also available in Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, and Tamil).

Nothing new on Amazon Prime in the US this week, but journalist Suchin Mehrotra posted a really good interview with Amazon’s Head of Indian Originals, Aparna Purohit, on the latest episode of The Streaming Show podcast.
