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.

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.]
