Quick update to say that my very, very big preview of New Indian Netflix Original Movies and Series Coming to Netflix is up at What’s on Netflix. I’ve got detailed write-ups of 11 new series, 12 new movies, and 11 returning series, with details on cast, plot, and production status. There are also some small bits of news about projects with indeterminate fates (I’m ready to declare Baahubali: Before the Beginning dead). My favorite tidbit is about the crime series that likely won’t be going forward because its creator was arrested for fraud.

Please give the post a read. It’s a ton of work, but I really have fun putting it together. What Netflix Original shows and movies are you looking forward to next year?

I updated my list of Bollywood movies on Netflix with today’s premiere of Vikramaditya Motwane’s thriller CTRL, starring Ananya Panday. Earlier this week, the streamer added the Tamil hit GOAT – The Greatest of All Time.

Speaking of Indian box office hits, I wrote about the biggest theatrical blockbusters streaming on Netflix for What’s on Netflix.

Yesterday, ZEE5 premiered the Anupam Kher drama The Signature.

I also updated my list of Bollywood movies on Amazon prime with the new Hindi series about social media influencers called The Tribe.

Next week could be a busy week on the streaming services. Akshay Kumar’s film Sarfira is coming to Hulu on October 11 (probably the 10th in the United States), along with the Tamil movie Vaazhai. Other theatrical releases likely making their streaming debuts on October 10 include Khel Khel Mein on Netflix, Stree 2 on Amazon Prime, and Vedaa on ZEE5, though none of those have been officially announced yet. We’ll have to see what happens next week.

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!

Including the 48 expiring films I wrote about in my December 24 Streaming Video News, that brings the total number of Hindi movies poised to leave the service in the next week to 53. That’s 10% of Netflix’s Hindi film catalog!

Here are the titles expiring on January 1:

Netflix released the trailer for its new dark comedy series Hasmukh, which stars Vir Das as a comic who resorts to murder to overcome his stage fright. Hasmukh debuts on Netflix April 17. It’s worth watching the trailer below just to see Manoj Pahwa’s ridiculous wig.
