When it comes to the best movies to watch on Amazon Prime in 2025, the platform is clearly betting big on variety. From mainstream Bollywood dramas to edgy regional cinema and global blockbusters. Prime Video has built a lineup that doesn’t just chase hype but actually delivers quality storytelling.
There is Hari Hara Veera Mallu Part 1: Sword vs Spirit, the epic Telugu historical action saga featuring Pawan Kalyan. It hit theaters in June and followed the usual eight-week rule to debut on Prime so if you didn’t catch it on the big screen, now’s your shot.
Then there’s Chhorii 2, the sequel to the horror hit, with Nushrratt Bharuccha leading the charge against darker supernatural forces. It landed on Prime back in April.
If you’re into dance and family dynamics, Be Happy is worth your time. Directed by Remo D’Souza and starring Abhishek Bachchan, it released in March and brings some heart, though opinions are split.
On a more emotional note, The Mehta Boys marks Boman Irani’s directorial debut. His performance alongside Avinash Tiwary anchors this drama about father son tension streamed from February.
For lighter fare, Uppu Kappurambu delivers satirical comedy set in an Indian village facing a quirky crisis burial grounds running out of space, of all things. Great tone and performances; it dropped in July.
Bhool Chuk Maaf flips the script with fantasy-romantic comedy wrapped in a time-loop premise. Rajkummar Rao stars, and it skipped theaters to release directly on Prime in mid-May.
Moving beyond the Indian slate, you’ll find solid global titles too. The Pickup is a fun action comedy pairing Eddie Murphy with Pete Davidson in a wild armored-car heist mess.
Heads of State throws together John Cena, Idris Elba, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in an absurdly entertaining buddy-action spoof about world leaders trapped together.
Don’t miss the fantasy-legit side of things. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes delivers sci-fi spectacle, while Wicked brings Broadway magic to your living room both praised by critics and still streaming.
