Einthusan

Eight languages, one home

Einthusan is a name that film lovers across the diaspora know well, and the idea behind it is simple: one place for the films of many Indian languages, rather than a separate corner of the internet for each. This catalogue follows that idea with eight languages, each shelf as important as the next.

It is an independent catalogue with its own wordmark, a red tile beside the name with a thin rule of all eight language colours underneath. It describes each film and points to the licensed services carrying it in your country, and it sits separately from the einthusan.tv subscription service that has run from Toronto since 2011.

Everything here is open to everyone straight away. My List and your viewing country are kept in your own browser, and every film has a Watch Now button.

The front page

The front page opens on a soft wash of colour, purple, gold, teal and blue blending into one another, with the wordmark at the top and a single line underneath: films from eight languages of India, in one place. Below it sit the eight language tiles, four across and two down, each one a still from a favourite film over a bar in its language's colour: Tamil red, Hindi plum, Telugu turquoise, Malayalam olive, Kannada pink, Bengali blue, Marathi green and Punjabi gold.

Under the tiles, a slate band carries two short columns: Eight languages, one home, and Watch where it is licensed. Then the page turns white, and each language gets its own row of six posters, most popular first, with the language colour running under its heading.

After the eight languages come New Releases, the 1990s, the help pages and this guide, and a slate footer closes the page.

The language pills and Browse by

On every other page, the top bar carries the eight language pills, square and outlined in each language's colour. Point at one and it fills with its colour; the language you are browsing stays filled. It is the quickest way to hop from Tamil to Telugu to Bengali straight from any page.

Under the pills sits a Browse by line: Alphabet, Year, Popularity, Rating and Latest. Alphabet opens the A-Z list, Year the year-by-year shelves, Popularity what everyone is watching now, and Rating the films audiences rate highest.

The search box at the right of the top bar finds films by title, original title, star or director in any of the eight languages.

Reading a poster

Every poster carries two small flags in its top corner: a red HD, and the film's language in its own colour. Under the poster sit the title and a quiet grey line with the year and the running time. So a Tamil poster reads HD, Tamil, and underneath Coolie, 2025 · 2h 50m.

The language flag is the most useful part on mixed shelves like New Releases or the 1990s, where films from all eight languages sit side by side. The runtime helps you plan: Indian films often run close to three hours, and the grey line tells you before you commit.

Point at a poster and it grows slightly, and the title takes on the language colour.

A film page

Open a film and its page begins with a dark band, the film's own still blurred softly behind it. On the left sits the poster. On the right come the title, a filled pill in the language's colour, the year, the runtime, the HD flag and the audience score, then the genres as small outlined tags, and the story.

Two buttons follow. Watch Now, in the film's language colour, jumps to the Where to Watch box, where you choose your country and open the film on JustWatch. Add to My List saves it in your browser. Below the band, Film details lists the release date, the stars, the director, the country, the studio and the status.

At the foot of the page, More films in the same language suggests twelve more, the ones in the same genres first.

Planning for long films

Indian films are often longer than Hollywood ones, and many run close to three hours with an interval in the middle. Every poster carries its runtime in the grey line under the title, and each film page shows it in hours and minutes.

For a weeknight, the Marathi and Bengali shelves have many films under two hours, and some Malayalam films are brisk too. For a weekend, the big Telugu and Tamil spectacles are worth the full evening.

Many streaming apps remember where you stopped, so a long film can easily be split across two nights.

The Rajinikanth shelf

Every catalogue of Tamil cinema needs Thalaivar, and the Tamil shelf holds nearly his whole modern career. From the 1990s come Thalapathi, Mani Ratnam's retelling of the Mahabharata's Karna, Annamalai, Baasha, the film that made him a phenomenon, Muthu, which made him a star in Japan too, Arunachalam and Padayappa.

The 2000s brought Baba, Chandramukhi and Sivaji: The Boss, and the 2010s Enthiran and its sequel 2.0, Kabali, Kaala and Petta. Darbar and Annaatthe followed.

Then came the second wind: Jailer, Vettaiyan and Coolie. Search rajinikanth in the top bar and every one of them comes up together.

Mani Ratnam

Mani Ratnam is the director many viewers abroad first discover Tamil cinema through. Roja and Bombay, with A.R. Rahman's music, are two of the most famous Indian films of the 1990s, and Iruvar is a masterpiece about two friends in politics. Dil Se.. took him to Hindi, and Alaipayuthey is his beloved modern romance.

Kannathil Muthamittal follows a girl searching for her birth mother in Sri Lanka, Aayitha Ezhuthu tells three intertwined lives, and Raavanan retells the Ramayana in the forest. Ponniyin Selvan: Part I and Ponniyin Selvan: Part II bring the great Chola novel to the screen.

Thug Life reunited him with Kamal Haasan in 2025. Search mani ratnam for the full shelf.

Kamal Haasan

Kamal Haasan is Tamil cinema's great shape-shifter, and his shelf shows the range. Michael Madana Kama Rajan has him in four roles, Thevar Magan is the village drama many call his finest, Indian casts him as an old freedom fighter taking on corruption, and Avvai Shanmugi is the comedy where he disguises himself as a grandmother.

Hey Ram, Aalavandhan, Anbe Sivam, Panchatanthiram, Virumaandi and Vasool Raja MBBS carry him through the 2000s, and Vishwaroopam is his big spy thriller. His second wind came with Vikram, and Indian 2: Zero Tolerance, Kalki 2898-AD and Thug Life followed.

Search kamal haasan in the top bar and the whole shelf appears in one list.

Vijay

Thalapathy Vijay has been Tamil cinema's biggest box-office draw for two decades. His early hits Kushi, Friends and Ghilli are still festival favourites, and Thuppakki made him an action star for a new generation. Nanban is Shankar's Tamil remake of 3 Idiots.

Theri, Mersal and Bigil are the crowd-pleasing blockbusters, Master and Leo his collaborations with Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Beast, Varisu and The Greatest of All Time the recent releases.

This year brings Jana Nayagan, widely expected to be his final film before politics, which makes his shelf a good place for a marathon.

Modern Tamil cinema

The Tamil shelf is one of the liveliest. Vikram, Leo and Kaithi belong to Lokesh Kanagaraj's connected universe, and Maharaja, with Vijay Sethupathi as a barber searching for a stolen dustbin, turns into one of the most surprising thrillers of the decade. Amaran tells the true story of Major Mukund Varadarajan.

Vikram Vedha, Ratsasan, Super Deluxe, Soorarai Pottru and Jai Bhim are the modern classics, and Vada Chennai and Visaranai the unflinching ones. For lighter evenings, Love Today, Dragon and Doctor are sharp comedies.

Kamal Haasan's Hey Ram and Aalavandhan and Shankar's Anniyan and Boys sit on the shelf too, and this year brings Vijay's Jana Nayagan.

The South in the 2000s

The 2000s were a golden decade for South Indian mass cinema. From Tamil came Ghilli, Anniyan, Chandramukhi and Sivaji: The Boss, and from Telugu Pokiri, Athadu, Chatrapathi, Happy and Magadheera.

These are the films many families abroad first watched on DVD, and the ones children who grew up in Toronto or London remember from weekend screenings. They hold up wonderfully today, songs and all.

The 2000s shelf gathers them with the Hindi films of the same decade.

Hindi in the 1990s

For many families abroad, Hindi cinema of the 1990s is home. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is the love story of a generation, Raj and Simran in the mustard fields of Punjab. Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! is the wedding film every family has watched a dozen times, and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai the college romance everyone can quote.

Dil To Pagal Hai, Pardes, Raja Hindustani and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam carry the romance, Darr, Baazigar and Karan Arjun the drama, and Andaz Apna Apna the comedy that grew into a cult classic. Rangeela and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar are the youthful ones.

Satya, Sarfarosh, Border and Bandit Queen show the grittier side of the decade. The 1990s shelf gathers them with the Tamil classics of the same years.

Hindi in the 2000s and 2010s

The new century brought Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India, Dil Chahta Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham in its first year alone. Devdas, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Veer-Zaara, Rang De Basanti, Jodhaa Akbar, Om Shanti Om and Jab We Met followed, and Like Stars on Earth and 3 Idiots closed the decade.

The 2010s gave us My Name Is Khan, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, English Vinglish, The Lunchbox, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, PK, Dangal and Andhadhun, along with the crowd-pleasers people still search for: Student Of The Year, Student of the Year 2, Kedarnath, Dhadak, Baaghi 2, Half Girlfriend, De De Pyaar De and Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana.

Gangs of Wasseypur - Part 1 and Gangs of Wasseypur - Part 2 are the epic crime saga, and Mom, with Sridevi, is the revenge drama many rediscover.

Hindi today

Hindi cinema's recent run is packed. Jawan and Animal were two of the biggest hits of 2023, 12th Fail the film that moved the whole country, and KILL the action film critics abroad raved about. Dhurandhar and War 2 led 2025.

2026 brings Dhurandhar: The Revenge, Mardaani 3, Bhooth Bangla and more. New releases usually reach the streaming services a few weeks after cinemas, so add them to My List and check Watch Now when they land.

For something quieter, Atrangi Re, Dear Zindagi and Sir are gentle, thoughtful films worth finding.

Shah Rukh Khan

For audiences abroad, Shah Rukh Khan is often the face of Indian cinema, and his shelf runs across three decades. It starts with the anti-hero turns of Darr and Baazigar, then the romances that made him King Khan: Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil To Pagal Hai, Pardes, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Dil Se...

The 2000s brought Mohabbatein, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Devdas, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Veer-Zaara, Swades, Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, and the 2010s My Name Is Khan, Chennai Express, Dilwale and Fan.

Then came 2023, when Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki arrived one after another and filled cinemas around the world.

Salman Khan and Aamir Khan

Salman Khan's shelf mixes family classics and mass entertainers. Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, Hum Saath Saath Hain and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam are the family favourites, Tere Naam the heartbreaker, and Wanted, Dabangg, Bodyguard and Kick the action hits. Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan and the Tiger films are his biggest successes.

Aamir Khan's shelf is full of films that changed Hindi cinema. Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar and Rangeela are the youthful ones, Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India went to the Oscars, Dil Chahta Hai and Rang De Basanti spoke for a new generation, and Like Stars on Earth, 3 Idiots, PK and Dangal are among the most loved Indian films ever made.

Andaz Apna Apna, the comedy they made together in 1994, is the cult classic both shelves share.

Great directors

Following a director is a lovely way into Indian cinema. Rajkumar Hirani made Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., 3 Idiots, PK and Dunki, each one funny and big-hearted. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's lavish films run from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Devdas to Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat and Gangubai Kathiawadi.

Anurag Kashyap's Black Friday and the two Gangs of Wasseypur - Part 1 films are gritty masterpieces, and Karan Johar's Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani are glossy family entertainment.

In Tamil, Shankar's Indian, Jeans, Mudhalvan, Anniyan, Sivaji: The Boss and Enthiran are grand spectacles, and Vetrimaaran's Visaranai, Vada Chennai, Asuran and Viduthalai: Part I are powerful dramas about power and caste.

Anthologies and short films

Anthologies let you taste several filmmakers in one evening. Bombay Talkies celebrated a hundred years of Hindi cinema with four short films by Karan Johar, Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar and Anurag Kashyap, each a small gem.

Ahalya, Sujoy Ghosh's fourteen-minute Bengali thriller inspired by a legend from the Ramayana, is one of the most watched Indian short films ever, and makes a perfect start to a longer film night.

Shorter films are also a good way to try a new language before committing to a three-hour epic.

Telugu

The Telugu shelf holds the biggest spectacles in Indian cinema. S.S. Rajamouli's Magadheera and Eega, the revenge story of a man reborn as a fly, led to Bāhubali: The Beginning, Bāhubali 2: The Conclusion and RRR, which won an Oscar for its song.

Pushpa: The Rise and Pushpa 2 - The Rule, Kalki 2898-AD, Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire and Devara: Part 1 carry on the scale, while Sita Ramam, Hi Nanna, Jersey, Manam and Lucky Baskhar are the heartfelt ones.

Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Chi La Sow, Ante... Sundaraniki! and MAD are the comedies, and this year brings Peddi and The Rajasaab.

Telugu stars

Telugu cinema is built around its stars. Prabhas went from Chatrapathi and Mr. Perfect to the Baahubali films, Saaho, Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire and Kalki 2898-AD. Allu Arjun's shelf runs from Happy, Parugu and Race Gurram to Sarrainodu, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and the two Pushpa films.

Mahesh Babu's Athadu, Pokiri, Dookudu, 1: Nenokkadine, Srimanthudu, Maharshi and Guntur Kaaram are fan favourites, and Jr NTR moved from Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava to RRR and Devara: Part 1.

S.S. Rajamouli's own shelf, from Chatrapathi and Magadheera to Eega and RRR, shows how Telugu cinema grew into a global phenomenon.

Malayalam

The Malayalam shelf reflects an industry in a golden run. Manjummel Boys, Premalu, Aavesham, Bramayugam and The Goat Life all came in 2024, and Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, L2: Empuraan and Thudarum in 2025. All We Imagine as Light won the Grand Prix at Cannes.

The older favourites are here too: Devadoothan, the Mohanlal mystery people keep searching for, Pandippada, Ustad Hotel, Bangalore Days, Premam, Drishyam and Minnal Murali.

This year brings Drishyam 3 and Patriot, which puts Mammootty and Mohanlal on screen together.

Mohanlal and Mammootty

Malayalam cinema's two great stars have shelves of their own. Mohanlal appears in Iruvar with Mani Ratnam, Devadoothan, Twenty 20, Run Baby Run, the three Drishyam films, Lucifer and L2: Empuraan, Odiyan, Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea and Thudarum.

Mammootty's shelf runs from Thalapathi alongside Rajinikanth and Kandukondain Kandukondain to Pranchiyettan & The Saint, Bheeshma Parvam, Rorschach, Kaathal - The Core, Bramayugam, Turbo and Kalamkaval.

This year they share the screen in Patriot, and Twenty 20, from 2008, is the famous earlier film with both of them.

Kannada

Kannada cinema went national with K.G.F: Chapter 1 and K.G.F: Chapter 2, and Kantara and Kantara - A Legend: Chapter 1 carried coastal Karnataka's folk traditions around the world. 777 Charlie is the heartwarming story of a man and his dog.

The Kannada shelf also holds Mungaru Male, the 2006 romance that broke records, Lucia, the inventive crowd-funded thriller, Thithi, about three generations and a funeral, Kirik Party and Sapta Sagaradaache Ello – Side A and Sapta Sagaradaache Ello - Side B.

Mahavatar Narsimha was the animated surprise of 2025, and Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups arrives this year.

Kannada stars

Yash's journey runs from Googly and Mr & Mrs Ramachari to the K.G.F films and this year's Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups. Kichcha Sudeepa's shelf includes the villain of Eega, Hebbuli, Pailwaan and the fantasy adventure Vikrant Rona.

Puneeth Rajkumar, the much-loved star who died in 2021, leads Anjaniputra, Yuvarathnaa and his final film James, and his fans still gather to watch them. Upendra's inventive UI and Super show Kannada cinema's experimental side.

Rishab Shetty, writer, director and star of the Kantara films, is the newest face Kannada cinema has given the world.

Bengali, from Kolkata and Dhaka

The Bengali shelf spans both sides of the border. From Kolkata come Chokher Bali, Rituparno Ghosh's Tagore adaptation with Aishwarya Rai, The Japanese Wife, Baishe Srabon and its sequel Dwitiyo Purush, Moner Manush, about the mystic poet Lalon, Praktan and Rajkahini.

From Bangladesh come The Clay Bird, Monpura, Television, Hawa, Rehana Maryam Noor, the first Bangladeshi film selected for Cannes' Un Certain Regard, and Made in Bangladesh. Toofan, Dhaka Attack and Mission Extreme bring the action.

Mujib: The Making of a Nation tells the story of Bangladesh's founding father. Bengali films often stream on Hoichoi and Chorki as well as the big services.

Bangladesh's new wave

Some of the most exciting Bengali-language films now come from Dhaka. Hawa, a mystery set on a fishing trawler, became a huge hit and travelled to festivals abroad, and Rehana Maryam Noor is a taut drama about a medical college teacher.

Made in Bangladesh follows garment workers organising a union, Television is a gentle comedy about a village chairman who bans images, and Monpura is the folk love story that became one of the country's most loved films.

For action, Toofan, Daagi, Dhaka Attack and the Mission Extreme films are fast and polished. Watch Now often finds them on Chorki and Hoichoi.

Modern Kolkata cinema

Kolkata's filmmakers have kept Bengali cinema thoughtful and inventive. Praktan follows a woman who meets her former husband on a long train journey from Mumbai to Howrah, and Rajkahini retells the partition of Bengal through the women of a brothel on the new border.

Bojhena Shey Bojhena weaves love stories around a highway accident, and Chotushkone brings four film directors together for a project that turns into a thriller. For something lighter, Bombaiyer Bombete sends Satyajit Ray's detective Feluda and his friend Jatayu to Mumbai.

These films reward viewers who enjoy dialogue and character, and they all work beautifully with English subtitles.

Marathi

The Marathi shelf is small and extraordinary. Sairat is the love story that broke every Marathi record. Court and The Disciple, both by Chaitanya Tamhane, were celebrated at Venice and around the world, and Harishchandrachi Factory tells how Dadasaheb Phalke made India's first feature film.

Natsamrat gives Nana Patekar one of his greatest roles, Balgandharva tells the story of the legendary stage artist, Anandi Gopal follows India's first woman doctor, and Deool is a sharp village satire.

Timepass, Duniyadari, Mumbai Pune Mumbai, Ventilator, Vaalvi and Ved are the popular favourites.

Punjabi

Punjabi cinema is warm, funny and full of music. Jatt & Juliet and Jatt & Juliet 2 made Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa a beloved pair, Carry On Jatta and Carry On Jatta 2 are the comedies every Punjabi family quotes, and Qismat and Angrej are the romances with the songs everyone sings.

Punjab 1984 is a powerful drama about a mother searching for her son, Qissa: The Tale of a Lonely Ghost a haunting art film with Irrfan Khan, and The Fourth Direction a tense story set in 1984. Sajjan Singh Rangroot follows Punjabi soldiers in the First World War.

From Pakistan comes The Legend of Maula Jatt, the biggest Punjabi-language blockbuster of its year. The Punjabi shelf has them all.

Diljit Dosanjh

Diljit Dosanjh is the Punjabi star the whole world now knows, from Coachella stages to Hollywood talk shows, and his film shelf shows where it began. Jatt & Juliet and Jatt & Juliet 2 are the romantic comedies with Neeru Bajwa that made him a film star, and Jatt & Juliet 3 reunited them in 2024.

Punjab 1984 showed his dramatic side, Super Singh made him a Punjabi superhero, and Sajjan Singh Rangroot and Honsla Rakh are his later hits. He also turns up in Hindi cinema in Crew, alongside Tabu, Kareena Kapoor and Kriti Sanon.

Search diljit in the top bar for the full shelf.

Love stories

Indian cinema is famous for its romances, and the Romance shelf crosses all eight languages. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai from Hindi, Alaipayuthey from Tamil, Sita Ramam from Telugu, Premam from Malayalam and Mungaru Male from Kannada.

Sairat from Marathi and Qismat from Punjabi are the tearjerkers, and The Japanese Wife is a Bengali love story told through letters between a village teacher and his pen friend in Japan.

Pick two from different languages for a date night; subtitles make every one of them easy to follow.

The music of A.R. Rahman

For many viewers, the way into Indian cinema is its music, and A.R. Rahman wrote some of its most famous soundtracks. Roja was his debut in 1992, and Bombay, Rangeela, Dil Se.., Alaipayuthey and Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India followed.

His work continued through Swades, Rang De Basanti, Jodhaa Akbar, Rockstar and Enthiran, and on to the two Ponniyin Selvan films. Watch any of them with the sound turned up.

Streaming services often carry the soundtrack albums too; the film pages here point you to the films themselves.

Action

The Action shelf is the loudest on the site. Baasha and Padayappa are the classic Rajinikanth mass films, Vikram, Leo and Jailer the modern ones. RRR, Bāhubali 2: The Conclusion, K.G.F: Chapter 2 and Pushpa 2 - The Rule are the pan-India spectacles.

From Hindi come Dhoom 2, Singham, War, Jawan and KILL, and from Pakistan's Punjabi cinema The Legend of Maula Jatt.

Most of these run close to three hours, so check the runtime on the poster before you start.

Thrillers and crime

The Thriller and Crime shelf is full of twists. Vikram Vedha turns a cop-and-gangster chase into a moral puzzle, Ratsasan is one of the most gripping serial-killer thrillers in Indian cinema, and Maharaja rewards viewers who pay attention.

Andhadhun, Drishyam and Drishyam 3 are the famous twist films, Satya and Gangs of Wasseypur - Part 1 the great gangster epics, and Baishe Srabon a stylish Bengali serial-killer thriller.

Kolamavu Kokila, with Nayanthara as a woman pulled into the drug trade to save her family, is the dark comedy people keep recommending.

One story, many languages

Indian cinema loves to retell a good story in another language, and the catalogue lets you watch the versions side by side. Drishyam began in Malayalam with Mohanlal in 2013, then became Drishyam in Hindi with Ajay Devgn in 2015, and both languages have their own sequels. 3 Idiots became the Tamil Nanban, directed by Shankar with Vijay in the lead.

Vikram Vedha in Tamil and the story of Kandukondain Kandukondain, a Tamil take on Sense and Sensibility, show how a borrowed story can become completely local. Watching two versions back to back is one of the most fun ways to see how different film industries think.

Search a title and every version in the catalogue comes up together, each with its language flag.

Comedies in every language

Comedy travels well with subtitles, and every language has its classics. Hindi gives us Andaz Apna Apna, Hera Pheri, Hulchul, Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. and Chennai Express. Tamil has Michael Madana Kama Rajan, Panchatanthiram, Naanum Rowdydhaan and Love Today.

Telugu offers F2: Fun and Frustration, Ante... Sundaraniki! and Chi La Sow, Malayalam Premalu and Twenty 20, Kannada Kirik Party, and Punjabi the whole Carry On Jatta series.

The Comedy shelf gathers them all, sorted by what people are enjoying most right now.

From Bengali cinema come Chokher Bali and Rehana Maryam Noor, from Marathi Anandi Gopal, about India's first woman doctor, and from Malayalam All We Imagine as Light and Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, Malayalam cinema's first woman superhero film.

Search either name in the top bar to see every film together.

Top rated

The Top Rated page lists the films with the highest audience scores, counting only those with enough votes to mean something. It mixes every language, which makes it a wonderful way to discover a Marathi or Bengali classic next to a Hindi favourite.

Each film page shows its score out of ten, with the number of votes beside it in the details, so a new release still gathering votes is easy to tell from a long-loved classic.

The Browse by line on every shelf includes Rating, which sorts that language's films the same way.

Watch Now is the button that turns a choice into an evening. Press it on any film page and the Where to Watch box opens, bordered in the film's language colour. Pick your country once, press Watch Now, and JustWatch opens with every licensed service carrying the film there: subscription, free with ads, rental and purchase, each with its price.

Your country is remembered on every page, and you can change it at any time, for a holiday in India or a move abroad.

A film that is missing from your country's services today often arrives later, so keep it in My List and check again.

Free films

Plenty of Indian films stream free with short ad breaks. Abroad, Tubi, Pluto TV, Plex and The Roku Channel carry Indian films; in India, Amazon MX Player has a large free library, and many studios post full films on their official YouTube channels.

Watch Now shows the free options for your country whenever a film has them. The classics are the likeliest, so try the 1990s and 2000s shelves.

The free films guide has more.

The app and the TV

Einthusan installs from your browser as an app. On Android choose Install app in Chrome, on iPhone choose Add to Home Screen from Safari's Share menu, and on a computer use the install icon in Chrome or Edge. It opens straight onto the language tiles and keeps your list and country.

On a smart TV, open the TV's browser and go to Einthusan, or browse on your phone and cast the film from the streaming app. The coloured tiles are easy to pick with a remote.

The app guide and the TV guide have every step.

An eight-language weekend

This weekend, try a film from a language that is new to you. Friday night, a Tamil thriller: Vikram Vedha or Maharaja. Saturday afternoon, a Malayalam comedy: Premalu. Saturday night, the 1990s: Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge with the whole family.

Sunday, travel further: Sairat in Marathi, Monpura in Bengali or Qismat in Punjabi, all with English subtitles. By Sunday night you will have seen four languages and found a new favourite.

Save the rest to My List, and next weekend pick another language tile.
