Feel like I've been missing out on good Indian cinema. I only watch whatever plays at AMC near me (usually just big Bollywood releases). What are the must-watch Indian films of 2026? Including regional — open to Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam with subtitles.

Here's my watchlist for 2026 so far: **In theaters now (or recently):** - Check TMDB/BookMyShow for current releases **On streaming:** - Netflix has been killing it with Malayalam films — anything from Fahadh Faasil is guaranteed quality - Prime Video has good Telugu content - Hotstar/JioCinema for mainstream Bollywood **Hidden gems to watch:** - Look for films by directors: Vetrimaaran (Tamil), Lijo Jose Pellissery (Malayalam), Anurag Kashyap (Hindi) - Malayalam cinema is consistently the best quality in India right now — great scripts, no star worship Pro tip: Letterboxd has an active Indian cinema community. Follow some Indian film reviewers there for recommendations beyond the mainstream.
For watching Indian movies in US theaters, use the DesiCircle Movies page — it shows what's playing near you with Fandango links. Way easier than checking each theater individually. Also AMC now regularly shows South Indian films with subtitles in major metros.
