Platforms checked: Netflix , Prime Video, JioHotstar, SonyLIV, ZEE5, Apple TV, Sun NXT, hoichoi, ManoramaMAX and selected regional services.
This roundup covers titles that became available through September 10. Releases scheduled for September 11 onward—including The Revolutionaries, Ghamasaan, Prince of Mollywood and Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot—are deliberately saved for next week’s completed window.
Netflix
Recently Added
- GDN — biographical drama — September 4
- Dhamaal 4 — Hindi comedy — September 4
- Korean Kanakaraju — Telugu horror-comedy — September 4
- Agyaat — Hindi horror/thriller — September 8
- Fauda, Season 5 — political/action thriller — September 8
- Why Did I Get Married Again? — comedy-drama — September 9
- Chumbak — Hindi family/comedy-drama series — September 10
The biggest India-focused Netflix arrival is GDN, starring R. Madhavan as inventor and industrialist G. D. Naidu. Rather than functioning as a conventional cradle-to-grave biopic, the film focuses on defining episodes in Naidu’s pursuit of innovation and technological progress.
For mainstream entertainment, Dhamaal 4 brings the long-running comedy franchise back for another treasure hunt, while Korean Kanakaraju gives Netflix a Telugu horror-comedy built around supernatural possession.
The latter half of the week expands the selection further: Fauda returns for Season 5, while Chumbak arrived September 10.
Prime Video
Recently Added
- Jagamae Sangeetham — Telugu musical family drama — September 4
Prime Video’s clearest new Indian addition during the review period is Jagamae Sangeetham. Set within a family steeped in Carnatic music, it follows Balu as inherited tradition collides with his relationship with pop singer Pallavi and his own ambitions.
Importantly for the India interface, current release information confirms Telugu with English subtitles and a Tamil dub, with availability in India and internationally.
I found references to other Prime Video catalogue activity during the period, but not enough India-specific corroboration to label those titles as confirmed new additions.
JioHotstar
Recently added
- The Court — Tamil courtroom drama — September 4
- Bigg Boss 20 — Hindi reality series — September 6
- Bigg Boss Tamil 10 — Tamil reality series — September 6
- Bigg Boss Telugu 10 — Telugu reality series — September 6
- Bigg Boss Kannada 13 — Kannada reality series — September 6
- Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 — Malayalam reality series — September 6
The Court is the week’s scripted JioHotstar highlight. The Tamil drama follows a talented young lawyer with a stammer who must confront both prejudice and her accomplished father when they find themselves on opposing sides in court.
But JioHotstar’s bigger streaming story is Bigg Boss. The Hindi edition premiered September 6 with Salman Khan returning as host, alongside simultaneous launches of the Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam editions.
That five-language launch makes JioHotstar the clear leader in regional unscripted programming this week.
SonyLIV
Recently added
- Unmadham — Malayalam psychological crime thriller — September 4
Starring Kunchacko Boban and Lijomol Jose, Unmadham follows a police constable reopening a long-unsolved case whose strange circumstances blur the boundaries between investigation, superstition and possible supernatural forces.
Its Malayalam-language focus makes it one of this week’s more notable regional streaming premieres.
Apple TV
Recently added
- Mayday — action-comedy film — September 4
Mayday, starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh, is a Cold War-set action comedy about a U.S. Navy pilot stranded behind enemy lines who unexpectedly joins forces with a former KGB operative.
As an Apple original, it is available through Apple TV’s India service rather than being an India-specific acquisition.
Sun NXT
Recently added
- DC — Tamil action drama — September 4
- Demonte Colony 3 — Tamil supernatural horror — September 10
DC stars Lokesh Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi in a story involving a group trying to protect a family devastated by police brutality while escaping a ruthless police officer. Its September 4 Sun NXT streaming date is confirmed by current Indian OTT coverage.
For horror fans, Demonte Colony 3 arrived September 10, continuing the Tamil supernatural franchise with Arulnithi and Priya Bhavani Shankar.
hoichoi
Recently added
- Puratawn — Bengali family drama — September 4
Starring Sharmila Tagore and Rituparna Sengupta, Puratawn follows a woman returning home for her mother’s 80th birthday as fading memories bring unresolved family history back to the surface.
This is a Bengali-language regional release, so language availability should be checked directly on the service.
ManoramaMAX
Recently added
- Pagida Kali — Malayalam mystery thriller — September 4
The film begins with a murder and a child’s disappearance in Kerala, before the investigation expands beyond the state and reveals unexpected connections. Current South Indian OTT reporting confirms its September 4 ManoramaMAX release.
ZEE5
I could not verify a significant new ZEE5 movie or series premiere between September 4 and September 10 strongly enough to include one as confirmed.
ZEE5’s next major slate begins September 11, including Ghamasaan, Varavu and Panchanama. Those releases fall outside this completed review window and will therefore belong in next week’s roundup.
OTTShows Editor’s Picks
Big Hindi movie: Dhamaal 4 — Netflix
The familiar ensemble-comedy franchise gives Netflix the week’s most mainstream Bollywood arrival.
Biographical pick: GDN — Netflix
R. Madhavan’s portrayal of inventor G. D. Naidu offers an unusual Indian biographical story centred on technology, experimentation and entrepreneurship.
Regional drama pick: The Court — JioHotstar
A courtroom story built around both professional and family conflict gives this Tamil drama a distinctive premise.
Regional thriller pick: Unmadham — SonyLIV
The Malayalam film’s mixture of police investigation, psychology and possible supernatural elements makes it one of the week’s more intriguing genre releases.
Reality-TV event: Bigg Boss — JioHotstar
Launching Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam editions together makes this one of the week’s largest multi-language streaming events.
Weekly Takeaway
The defining story this week is India’s multilingual OTT ecosystem. Netflix brings Hindi, Telugu and international programming; Prime Video goes strongly Telugu with Jagamae Sangeetham; SonyLIV contributes Malayalam; Sun NXT adds Tamil titles; hoichoi brings Bengali drama; and ManoramaMAX strengthens the Malayalam slate.
JioHotstar takes that trend even further with the simultaneous launch of five Bigg Boss editions in five Indian languages. The result is a week in which regional-language programming isn’t a sidebar to the OTT story—it is arguably the story itself.
