18 new movies and shows hit Indian streaming this week

More than a dozen new movies and shows begin streaming in India in the week of November 9–15. Vogue India counted 18 titles across Netflix, Prime Video and JioHotstar, while GQ India’s parallel list runs to 15. Moneycontrol puts the South Indian count alone at five films. Both GQ India and Vogue India published platform-wise breakdowns covering the same core streaming services.

It is the heaviest week of the month so far. In the October 26–November 1 window, The Economic Times logged nine new movies and shows on Netflix, JioHotstar, Prime Video and ZEE5, spanning action-comedy, family drama and horror. The mid-November slate is roughly double that volume, and it cuts across Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi and English.

Because Vogue counted 18 and GQ counted 15, the exact number of releases depends on which list you consult, but both agree the week is the busiest of November. JioHotstar appears in every roundup this week, alongside Netflix and Prime Video.

Netflix brings holiday films, Cliff Booth and Mario

Netflix’s November slate, per Analytics Insight, includes holiday films, the return of Brad Pitt’s character Cliff Booth and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Cliff Booth was Pitt’s memorable turn in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and his return is one of the month’s most anticipated streaming titles. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie draws on Nintendo’s game franchise, giving Netflix a globally recognised title in the lineup.

FilmiBeat, tracking the platform’s weekly additions, says Netflix’s Indian catalogue covers Bollywood (Hindi), Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam titles. Tom’s Guide, in a Sunday roundup dated November 8, catalogues every film and show added to Netflix and HBO Max overnight, a handy checklist for weekend planners.

Five South Indian films debut on OTT

Moneycontrol lists five South Indian movies making their OTT debut this week, in a mix of action, romance, comedy and suspense across Malayalam, Tamil and other regional languages. Lifestyle Asia Hong Kong also counts five new South Indian movies and OTT series in the same window, so the two tallies match. Moneycontrol does not break its picks down by platform; HerZindagi’s narrower Malayalam list does.

HerZindagi focuses on three Malayalam movies and series arriving on Netflix, Prime Video and Sony LIV, with cast, release date and plot details published for each. The Malayalam slate therefore lands on three of the four biggest Indian platforms in a single week.

Prime Video bets on Madden and Rings of Power

Prime Video’s November lineup includes Madden and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3, Analytics Insight reported. Madden is best known as the long-running EA Sports football game franchise, and Rings of Power season 3 continues the streamer’s biggest fantasy series. Analytics Insight’s monthly overview positions Madden and Rings of Power as Prime Video’s anchor titles for November.

GQ India’s weekend guide flags Haiwaan, a crime drama, among the freshest additions to the streaming roster. The same guide rounds up 14 new movies and shows across Netflix, JioHotstar, Amazon Prime Video and ZEE5.

ZEE5, TVF Play and the smaller platforms

ZEE5’s newly launched movie catalogue is tracked by Digit, which provides ratings alongside each title. TVF Play is carrying new releases this week in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, per FilmiBeat. Bollywood Hungama maintains a separate page for new Hindi adult movies, updated with the latest releases in that segment.

HBO Max also figures in Tom’s Guide’s Sunday roundup, adding an international layer to a week dominated by Indian platforms.

Netflix’s holiday films roll out through the month, and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie arrives in the same window, giving subscribers reason to keep checking the app into late November.
