LatestMovie: latest Hindi movies, dubbed movies and Hindi web series

The header

The header stays fixed at the top of the page as you scroll, a dark charcoal band seventy pixels tall. On the left, the logo shows a green square with a white play button, then LATEST in white and MOVIE in green, in tall narrow capitals, separated from the menu by a thin grey rule.

The menu spells out Home, Indian Movies, Dubbed, Web Series, Top rated, A-Z and My List in the same narrow uppercase type. The page you are on turns green with a green underline, and the others turn green as you point at them.

On the right, a grey search box with a green magnifier finds any title. On smaller screens, a green Menu button takes the menu's place.

The year buttons

Below the header, a short introduction explains the site, and a row of dark grey buttons offers the year shelves: 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2019-2022 and Older. Each button turns green when you point at it.

The years follow the menu of the original site, where the Indian Movies menu opened into a long list of years from the newest back to 2000 and older.

The movies by year guide explains what each shelf holds.

Featured Movies

The first section, Featured Movies, has a solid green tab for its title and three smaller tabs beside it: Movies, Web Series and Dubbed. A green rule runs under the whole row. The chosen tab turns dark grey with white lettering.

The Movies tab opens with the featured titles Dhurandhar, Saiyaara, Chhaava, Stree 2, Pushpa 2 - The Rule and Lost Ladies, followed by long-time favourites such as 12th Fail, 3 Idiots and Dangal.

Web Series shows the most popular Hindi series, and Dubbed the most popular South Indian and Hollywood films in Hindi. A View all link at the foot of each tab opens the full list.

Latest Updated Movies

The second section, Latest Updated Movies, uses the same green tab with its own sub-tabs: Movies, Dubbed and Hollywood. Each tab shows eighteen posters, newest first.

At the moment the Movies tab opens with 2026 releases such as Bhooth Bangla, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, Accused, Tu Yaa Main and Mardaani 3.

This is the part of the page to check each week for what has just reached home screens.

Posters and tips

Every poster carries a yellow ribbon across its top edge reading HD, the same bright band the original site used for its quality labels. The title sits beneath the poster in small centred type.

Point at a poster and a dark information tip covers it: the title in bold, the score on a yellow label with the year and runtime, a few lines of story and a green Watch now bar at the bottom.

On a phone, tapping the poster opens the title page directly, where the same information is set out in full.

The letter bar

Further down, an A-Z section offers a row of dark grey letter buttons, from the hash sign for titles that begin with a number to Z. Each button turns green when you point at it.

The letter bar leads to the A-Z page, where every title is listed alphabetically.

It is the quickest route when you know a title's first letter but have forgotten the rest.

Shelves and help

Near the foot of the home page, every shelf appears as a dark button with its title count: Indian Movies, each year shelf, Dubbed Movies, South Hindi Dubbed, Hollywood Hindi Dubbed, Action, Comedy, Thriller and crime, and Romance. Each turns green when you point at it.

A grid of help cards follows, each with a green title and a short description.

The dark footer closes every page with a short note on where the information comes from and a column of links.

The title page

Every film and series has its own page. At the top, the poster sits beside the title, the original title in Devanagari or its own script, and a row of tags for HD, the type, the year, the runtime and the genres.

A few lines of story follow, then the green Watch now button and an Add to My List button. Below, a panel titled Where to watch explains the viewing options, and a grid of facts lists the original title, the release date, the original language, the country, the runtime, the studio, the score and other names the title is known by.

Series pages add a list of seasons and episodes with their air dates.

The Watch now button

The green Watch now button is how LatestMovie gets you to a stream. Press it, choose your country in the panel that opens, and press it again.

LatestMovie opens the title's page on JustWatch, which follows streaming services country by country and lists every subscription, rental, purchase and free option available where you live.

Choose one, and the title opens in that service's app or website.

Choosing your country

India comes first in the country list, followed by the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Nepal, Bangladesh, New Zealand, South Africa and Germany.

LatestMovie remembers your choice and uses it on every Watch now button.

Change it from the viewing panel at any time, for example when you visit family abroad.

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, Jaane Jaan, Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga, Kathal, Khufiya and Adipurush show the year's range.

2019 to 2022

The 2019-2022 shelf spans the years before and after cinemas closed. War and Uri: The Surgical Strike were the action hits of 2019, and Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi a historical epic.

The dubbed shelves

Dubbed movies have always had their own menu on LatestMovie. The South Hindi Dubbed shelf gathers Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam hits released with Hindi audio, and the Hollywood Hindi Dubbed shelf gathers American blockbusters.

The dubbed movies guide explains how to choose the audio track.

Most of these films are offered with several Indian languages as separate audio tracks.

Telugu hits in Hindi

Telugu cinema has given Hindi audiences many of their favourite films. RRR and Bāhubali 2: The Conclusion were huge hits in their Hindi versions, and Pushpa: The Rise and Pushpa 2 - The Rule made Allu Arjun a star across the North.

Kalki 2898-AD, Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire and Devara: Part 1 are spectacles on a grand scale, and Arjun Reddy and V are grittier stories.

Each is offered in Hindi on the major services.

Tamil hits in Hindi

Tamil cinema's biggest films also reach Hindi audiences. Jailer, Leo, Vikram and Master are among the most watched, and Kaithi, Ratsasan and Maharaja are admired thrillers.

Amaran, Jai Bhim, Soorarai Pottru, 96, Super Deluxe, Vikram Vedha, 2.0 and Mersal show the range of Tamil storytelling.

Many viewers watch them in Tamil with Hindi or English subtitles.

Kannada and Malayalam hits

Kannada cinema's K.G.F: Chapter 1, K.G.F: Chapter 2, Kantara and Kantara - A Legend: Chapter 1 were huge hits in Hindi, and 777 Charlie is a gentle story of a man and his dog.

From Malayalam come Minnal Murali, Drishyam 2, Kumbalangi Nights, Marco and All We Imagine as Light.

Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups brings Yash back in 2026.

Hollywood in Hindi

Oppenheimer, Dune, Dune: Part Two and Blade Runner 2049 are favourites with fans of big ideas, and Top Gun: Maverick and Mad Max: Fury Road with fans of action.

Project Hail Mary arrives in 2026, and family films such as Coco, Inside Out and The Wild Robot suit every age.

The web series shelf

Hindi web series have their own place in the menu. The shelf gathers series with a complete story told across a few seasons; daily soaps and reality formats are left out.

Each series page lists every season and episode with its air date. The web series guide suggests where to start.

Most Hindi web series stream on Prime Video, Netflix, JioHotstar and SonyLIV.

Panchayat and Kota Factory

Panchayat follows Abhishek, an engineering graduate who takes a job as secretary of a village council in Uttar Pradesh, and the neighbours who slowly become his friends. It is gentle, funny and one of the most loved Indian series.

Kota Factory follows students preparing for engineering entrance exams in the coaching town of Kota, shot mostly in black and white.

Hostel Daze and Bandish Bandits complete a shelf of warm stories about young people.

Crime series

Delhi Crime follows a police investigation into a real case and won an International Emmy, Paatal Lok follows a detective in over his head, and Kohrra a murder investigation in rural Punjab.

Dahaad follows a policewoman in Rajasthan hunting a serial offender, and Taskaree: The Smuggler's Web customs officers chasing smugglers.

These series are gripping, with careful writing and strong performances.

Thrillers and history

The Family Man follows a middle-class man who is secretly a spy, Special Ops an intelligence officer on a two-decade manhunt, and Farzi an artist drawn into counterfeiting.

Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story tells the story of a famous stock-market scandal, Rocket Boys the founders of India's space programme, Jubilee the golden age of Bombay's film studios, and The Railway Men - The Untold Story of Bhopal 1984 the heroes of the Bhopal gas tragedy.

Aspirants follows three friends preparing for the civil services, and The Ba***ds of Bollywood satirises the film industry.

Audio and subtitles

On most services, the audio and subtitles are chosen separately in the player. Hindi films usually include English subtitles, and many dubbed films offer Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam as separate audio tracks.

The setting is usually remembered for the next title you play, so choosing Hindi once is often enough.

Some services also offer audio description for viewers with sight loss.

Services in India

In India, JioHotstar, Prime Video, Netflix, ZEE5 and SonyLIV carry most of the films and series on LatestMovie. New Hindi films usually arrive four to eight weeks after their cinema release.

Many mobile and broadband plans include a streaming subscription in the price, and several services offer free titles with adverts.

The guide to services compares them.

Watching from abroad

For viewers outside India, Netflix, Prime Video and ZEE5 carry many Hindi films and series, with catalogues that differ by country. Apple TV and Google TV rent and sell new releases in many places.

Choose your country in the viewing panel, and the Watch now button shows exactly what is available where you live.

My List stays in place when you change country.

Picture quality

The yellow HD ribbon on every poster is a reminder that official services stream in HD as standard, at 720p or 1080p, and many titles in 4K on premium plans.

On mobile data, most apps offer a data saver setting, and many let you download titles on Wi-Fi to watch later.

Spectacles such as Kalki 2898-AD and Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva are best saved for a large screen.

Phones and televisions

LatestMovie works in any browser. On a phone, the menu folds into a green Menu button, the year buttons wrap onto two rows and the posters line up two or three across.

To watch on a television, choose a title on your phone and open it in the same service's app on the television, or cast it with Chromecast. Most smart televisions and streaming sticks have apps for the major Indian services.

The apps and devices guide has more.

Free and legal

Many Hindi films can be watched free and legally. JioHotstar, MX Player, ZEE5 and YouTube's free films carry many titles with adverts.

Outside India, some free services with adverts carry a selection of Hindi films.

The Watch now button marks free options for your country. The free and legal guide gathers more.

My List

My List keeps the titles you want to watch. Press Add to My List on any title page, and it joins the My List page.

A good habit is to add new releases as they appear in Latest Updated Movies, then work through them at the weekend.

The list lives in your browser and works right away. Export My List saves a small file; Import a saved copy merges it on another device. The My List guide has more.

More ways to find titles

Beyond the home page, the menu leads to Indian Movies, Dubbed, Web Series, Top rated and A-Z, and the collections page gathers every shelf.

The finding titles guide explains search, the tabs and the year shelves, and the how to watch guide walks through each step from a poster to the player.

The Top rated page ranks the hundred highest-rated titles on the site.

The official LatestMovie

LatestMovie has one fixed address, shown in your browser, and its own writing and title pages: the charcoal page, the fixed header with its uppercase menu, the green section tabs and the yellow HD ribbons.

Bookmark it or add it to your home screen, and it opens with your country and My List in place. Every Watch now button leads to JustWatch and official services.

The official site and site status guides explain what to check.

Staying safe

LatestMovie shows posters, stories and links to JustWatch and official services, and every button goes exactly where its label says.

Official services keep your devices safe and support the actors, directors and crews behind every film and series. Keep your browser and devices updated for security fixes and better playback.

Elsewhere, leave pages that open windows on their own, ask you to install a player or ask for card details to watch something free. The safety guide has a short checklist.

How titles are chosen

LatestMovie's catalogue follows the original site's sections. Hindi films are chosen by audience and score, newest first, and arranged by year; dubbed films come from the most popular South Indian and Hollywood releases; and web series from the Hindi series audiences rate most highly.

Daily soaps and reality formats are left out, so the web series shelf holds complete stories.

LatestMovie is a site for a general audience. Titles sold on explicit sexual content are left out, so every shelf is comfortable to browse with family nearby.

Where the information comes from

Posters, titles, original titles, stories, genres, runtimes, casts, episodes and audience scores come from TMDB, the community film and television database used around the world.

Where to watch comes from JustWatch, updated daily for every country. The help pages and this guide are written for LatestMovie.

The catalogue is refreshed regularly, so new releases join the year shelves as they reach home screens.

A weekly habit

LatestMovie works best as a weekly habit. Check Latest Updated Movies each weekend to see what has reached home screens, add the ones that interest you to My List, and watch them over the following week.

The Featured Movies tabs are the place for sure bets, the films audiences love most.

Over a few weeks, My List becomes a personal record of the year in Hindi cinema.

The spy universe

The YRF Spy Universe connects several of the biggest Hindi films of recent years. War introduced Hrithik Roshan's Kabir, Pathaan brought Shah Rukh Khan into the story, and Tiger 3 continued Salman Khan's Tiger saga.

War 2 brought Kabir back in 2025 alongside a new rival.

Watching them in release order, from War to War 2, makes a thrilling marathon.

The horror-comedy universe

Maddock Films' horror-comedy universe has become one of Hindi cinema's great success stories. Stree 2 returned to Chanderi's haunted streets in 2024 and became one of the year's biggest hits.

Thamma brought a vampire story into the same world in 2025, and Bhooth Bangla continues the tradition of Hindi horror comedy in 2026.

These films mix scares and laughs, ideal for a night in with friends.

The cop universe

Rohit Shetty's cop universe follows a group of police heroes. Sooryavanshi brought Akshay Kumar's anti-terror chief into the series, and Singham Again reunited the heroes in 2024.

These films are loud, colourful and full of stunts, with cars flying through the air in almost every action scene.

They are best enjoyed on a large screen with the volume up.

True stories

Many recent Hindi films are based on real events. 12th Fail tells the story of the police officer Manoj Kumar Sharma, Chhaava the Maratha king Sambhaji Maharaj, and Uri: The Surgical Strike a military operation.

Superboys of Malegaon follows a group of amateur filmmakers in a small town, The Diplomat a diplomat's real-life rescue of a woman in danger, and Raid 2 an income-tax officer's investigation.

On the series shelf, Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story, Rocket Boys and Delhi Crime are all drawn from real events.

Women at the centre

Several of the most admired recent films put women at the centre. Lost Ladies follows two brides finding their own way, Girls Will Be Girls a schoolgirl's first love, and Mardaani 3 a fearless police officer.

Crew follows three air hostesses, Pagglait a young widow discovering herself, and Gangubai Kathiawadi a woman who rises to power in Mumbai.

Dahaad on the series shelf follows a determined policewoman in Rajasthan.

Romance

Romance is at the heart of Hindi cinema. Saiyaara became the love story of 2025, and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar are colourful romantic comedies.

Kal Ho Naa Ho, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Mohabbatein are romances from the early 2000s that audiences still return to.

The Romance shelf gathers them all.

Family evenings

Many titles suit the whole family. Sitaare Zameen Par follows a basketball coach training a team of players with disabilities, and Like Stars on Earth, 3 Idiots and Dangal are loved by every generation.

Panchayat and Kota Factory are gentle series for watching one episode a night together.

Services add their own age ratings and parental controls, which you can set in each app's profile settings.

Reading the scores

The information tip on every poster shows a TMDB audience score on a yellow label. Scores above eight mark the titles audiences love most, and the Top rated page is made almost entirely of them.

The number of votes matters too. New releases often have only a few dozen votes, so their scores may move as more people watch.

Scores are a helpful guide rather than a final word, and some of the most enjoyable films on the site sit just below the top.

Worth watching again

Many titles reward a second viewing. Andhadhun and Jaane Jaan are full of clues that only make sense once you know the ending, and Tumbbad reveals new details with each watch.

Watching a dubbed hit in its original language can feel fresh too: try RRR in Telugu after seeing it in Hindi.

Keep a small shelf of favourites in My List alongside the titles you are yet to discover.

Dhurandhar

Dhurandhar follows an Indian operative who spends years undercover in Karachi's criminal underworld, working his way into the inner circle of a powerful network. Ranveer Singh leads a large cast, and the film's scale and tension made it one of the defining Hindi films of 2025.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues the story in 2026, and both films are best watched together.

They are made for grown-ups, with intense violence.

Saiyaara

Saiyaara follows a young musician and a shy writer whose love story is tested by illness and ambition. With two new lead actors and a soundtrack that dominated the charts, it became the surprise hit of 2025.

It is a good choice for a romantic evening, with music that suits a good pair of headphones.

It sits on the 2025 Movies shelf beside Chhaava and Dhurandhar.

Stree 2

Stree 2 returns to the small town of Chanderi, where a new ghost begins taking the town's women. The friends from the first film must team up again, with plenty of laughs along the way.

It broke box-office records in 2024 and cemented the horror-comedy universe that continued with Thamma.

It is fun for older teenagers and grown-ups.

Lost Ladies

Lost Ladies follows two young brides, both veiled, who are accidentally swapped on a crowded train in rural India. One finds herself stranded at a railway station; the other begins quietly building a new life.

Directed by Kiran Rao, it is funny, warm and thought-provoking, and it was chosen as India's official entry to the Oscars.

It suits a family evening.

Chhaava

Chhaava tells the story of Sambhaji Maharaj, son of Shivaji and ruler of the Maratha Empire, and his struggle against the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.

Vicky Kaushal leads a historical epic with grand battle scenes, and the film became one of the biggest Hindi hits of 2025.

It is best watched on a large screen.

Jawan

Jawan cast Shah Rukh Khan in a double role, as a prison warden leading a band of women on a mission for justice and as his father, a soldier with a secret past.

Directed by Atlee, it mixes action, emotion and social messages, and it became one of the highest-grossing Hindi films ever.

It sits on the 2023 Movies shelf beside Pathaan and Dunki.

12th Fail

12th Fail follows Manoj Kumar Sharma, who grows up in a village in Madhya Pradesh, fails his school exams and sets out to become a police officer by passing the UPSC exam.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra's film won hearts across India with its honesty and hope, and it became one of the highest-rated Hindi films of recent years.

It suits a family evening and often inspires younger viewers.

Panchayat in detail

Panchayat has run for several seasons, each set in the fictional village of Phulera. Abhishek's reluctant stay turns into something deeper as he grows close to the village head, his assistant and the people around them.

Its humour is gentle and its episodes short, ideal for a family evening.

The series page lists every season and episode.

The Family Man

The Family Man follows Srikant Tiwari, a middle-class father who secretly works for a national intelligence agency. The series balances spy missions with the comedy of family life, and Manoj Bajpayee's performance is the heart of it.

Each season takes the story to a new part of India.

It is best watched in order from the first season.

Weeknight viewing

Many Hindi films run close to three hours, so on a busy weeknight a web series episode often fits better. Panchayat, Kota Factory and Aspirants have episodes of about thirty to forty minutes.

For films, the runtime shown in each information tip helps you choose; Kathal, Pagglait and Lost Ladies are among the shorter titles.

Save the epics for the weekend.

Festival releases

Festival weekends bring the biggest Hindi releases: Eid for Salman Khan, Diwali for the big family entertainers, and Independence Day for patriotic dramas.

Films such as Tiger 3, Singham Again and Housefull 5 opened on festival weekends, and they suit a festival evening at home too.

Plan ahead with My List so the choice is ready when everyone gathers.

Comedy

Hindi comedy ranges from slapstick to satire. Housefull 5 is a big ensemble comedy on a cruise ship, Jolly LLB 3 a courtroom comedy with a message, and Kathal a satirical story about a missing jackfruit.

Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga and Crew are heist comedies, and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar a romantic comedy.

The Comedy shelf gathers them all.

The help pages cover every step, from year shelves and dubbed films to the official address and staying safe.

Animal

Animal follows a son's obsessive devotion to his distant, powerful father, and the violence that follows when the father is attacked. Ranbir Kapoor's performance and the film's scale made it one of the biggest hits of 2023, and one of the most debated.

It is made for grown-ups, with strong violence throughout.

Sitaare Zameen Par

Sitaare Zameen Par follows a disgraced basketball coach sentenced to community service training a team of players with intellectual disabilities. It is a warm, funny spiritual successor to Like Stars on Earth.

Homebound

Homebound follows two childhood friends from a small village in North India who dream of joining the police, and the challenges they face along the way.

It is a thoughtful, moving drama for a quiet evening.

Superboys of Malegaon

Superboys of Malegaon tells the true story of a group of friends in a small Maharashtra town who make low-budget spoofs of famous films with local actors and borrowed equipment.

It is a warm, funny celebration of cinema and friendship, and one of the most charming Hindi films of 2025.

War and War 2

War pits a veteran agent against his former student in a chase across the world, with some of the most spectacular action scenes in Hindi cinema.

War 2 brings Hrithik Roshan's Kabir back in 2025 against a new rival, adding another chapter to the spy universe.

Both films reward a large screen and a good sound system.

Shaitaan and Thamma

Horror has found a new audience in Hindi cinema. Shaitaan follows a family whose home is invaded by a stranger with a terrifying power, and it is one of the tensest Hindi films of recent years.

Thamma brings a lighter touch, with a vampire romance in the horror-comedy universe.

Watch these with the lights on.

Older favourites

The older shelf holds films that many viewers know by heart. Om Shanti Om is a joyful tribute to 1970s Hindi cinema, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara a road trip through Spain, and Chennai Express a comic journey across the South.

It is one of the most striking films on the dubbed shelf.

K.G.F

K.G.F: Chapter 1 and K.G.F: Chapter 2 follow Rocky, a boy from the Bombay streets who rises to rule the Kolar Gold Fields. The Kannada films became phenomena in their Hindi versions.

Farzi and Dahaad each tell their first stories in eight episodes.

These series are ideal for a single weekend.

Pushpa

Pushpa: The Rise follows Pushpa Raj, a labourer who rises through the red sandalwood smuggling trade with swagger and nerve, and Pushpa 2 - The Rule follows his reign and his battles with a determined police officer.

Allu Arjun's performance and the songs made both films huge hits in Hindi, and the sequel became one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever.

They are best watched in order.

RRR

RRR follows two revolutionaries in 1920s India, one working inside the colonial police and one protecting his tribe, whose friendship is tested by their opposing missions.

S. S. Rajamouli's action scenes and the Oscar-winning song Naatu Naatu made it a worldwide sensation.

It is offered in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam on most services.

Jailer and Leo

Jailer cast Rajinikanth as a retired jailer drawn back into violence to protect his family, and Leo cast Vijay as a café owner whose past returns.

Both Tamil films found large Hindi audiences in 2023, with Anirudh Ravichander's music a highlight of each.

They sit on the South Hindi Dubbed shelf.

Both films were huge hits in their Hindi versions.

Bāhubali 2: The Conclusion completes the story of the kingdom of Mahishmati and answers the famous question of why Kattappa killed Baahubali.

It became one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever, and its Hindi version filled cinemas across the North.
