The strongest India-focused additions are Rao Bahadur and Gatta Kusthi 2, while Netflix’s August 5–6 slate considerably broadens the week’s international selection. The July 31 India arrivals are corroborated by current Indian entertainment coverage, while the August 5–6 titles are confirmed on Netflix’s current release calendar.
Prime Video
Recently Added
- Batman: Caped Crusader, Season 2 — animated superhero series — July 31
- Playground, Season 5 — Indian gaming reality series — August 1
- Special Ops: Lioness, Season 3 — espionage thriller — August 2
Batman: Caped Crusader Season 2 is the week’s marquee franchise arrival, while Playground Season 5 gives Prime Video a distinctly Indian reality/gaming release. Indian sources independently list both titles on Prime Video during the review period.
JioHotstar
Recently Added
- Khatron Ke Khiladi, Season 15 — Hindi reality series — August 1
- Bhojpuri Bawaal — Bhojpuri celebrity reality series — August 2
- Uyir — Malayalam thriller — August 4
- The Shards — English mystery drama — August 6
This is a particularly varied week for JioHotstar. Bhojpuri Bawaal expands its regional unscripted programming, while Uyir adds a Malayalam thriller and The Shards brings an international mystery drama to the week’s slate. Vodafone Idea’s current India OTT schedule confirms all four dates.
ZEE5
Recently Added
- Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai — Hindi romantic comedy-drama — July 31
- Nooru Saami — Tamil family drama — July 31
- Balan: The Boy — Malayalam psychological drama — July 31
ZEE5 has one of the week’s strongest multilingual Indian lineups. Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is the mainstream Hindi attraction, while Nooru Saami and Balan: The Boy broaden the selection for Tamil and Malayalam audiences. All three were reported as streaming on ZEE5 from July 31.
SonyLIV
Recently added
- The Legend of Karna — animated mythological series — July 31
The week’s notable SonyLIV entertainment premiere is The Legend of Karna, an animated retelling of the Mahabharata from Karna’s perspective. SonyLIV is also carrying the IndianOil Durand Cup 2026 during August 1–7, although I have excluded live sports from the main movie-and-show list.
Apple TV+
Recently Added
- Ted Lasso — new season — August 5
Apple’s India storefront currently identifies Ted Lasso as a new-season release dated August 5, so this one can be confirmed specifically for the Indian Apple TV catalogue rather than inferred from a U.S. release schedule.
Apple is also currently carrying new weekly episodes of Silo, Cape Fear and Lucky in India, but because those series began before this review window, I have not counted them as newly added titles.
Regional & Specialty OTT
Lionsgate Play: Chum, a survival-horror thriller, began streaming July 31 according to current Indian release coverage.
For Sun NXT, aha and hoichoi, I could not obtain sufficiently strong current evidence for specific new July 31–August 6 additions during this run. Rather than populate those sections with unverified catalogue titles, they are best treated as availability not reliably confirmed for this week’s roundup.
This Week’s Highlights
Big Indian movie arrival: Gatta Kusthi 2 — Netflix
The Tamil sports-comedy sequel brings Veera and wrestler Keerthi back as they juggle parenthood, family life and wrestling.
Hindi mainstream pick: Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai — ZEE5
A relationship-driven comedy-drama built around marriage, romance and second chances.
Indian series to watch: The Legend of Karna — SonyLIV
Its animated Mahabharata retelling gives this week’s lineup a very different flavour from the usual crime, romance and reality releases.
International franchise pick: Batman: Caped Crusader Season 2 — Prime Video
The noir-inspired animated Batman series returns with new Gotham mysteries and villains.
Regional reality pick: Bhojpuri Bawaal — JioHotstar
The series follows prominent Bhojpuri entertainment personalities and gives the week’s streaming slate a notably regional unscripted addition.
Weekly Takeaway
The biggest story this week is language diversity. Instead of the fresh OTT slate being dominated only by Hindi and English programming, viewers have new Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Bhojpuri, Japanese, Thai and Malay choices alongside mainstream international series.
ZEE5 has a particularly strong Indian-language movie week, JioHotstar spreads its additions across reality, Malayalam drama and international programming, while Netflix has the broadest overall mix. Prime Video’s slate is smaller but includes recognizable franchises and Indian reality programming.
