This list covers films you can stream in Hindi on ZEE5 and SonyLIV in India, grouped by platform: ZEE5 first, with Hindi originals ahead of dubbed titles, then SonyLIV. Series are left out.
It is shorter than our other platform lists on purpose. We include only films whose listing we have confirmed ourselves, and right now that gives seven on ZEE5 and one on SonyLIV. Titles we have only seen reported, and Sumo Didi, which premieres on ZEE5 on 23 October 2026, will be added once confirmed and streaming.
Every pick has a Hindi audio track and was checked on the platform's Indian app or site; the check date is on each title page. Picks are ranked by how well they suit someone looking for a dependable Hindi film on that service, so broad picks sit above more demanding ones.
On certificates: U/A and the platforms' U/A 13+ and 16+ ratings call for parental guidance, and A is for adults only.

Sam Bahadur
ZEE5CBFC U/A148 min
Vicky Kaushal again, this time as Sam Manekshaw, India's first field marshal, followed from his Dehradun cadet days through Partition and decades of army service.

Rated U/A and 148 minutes long, it has some combat and suits teens and adults with an interest in military history and leadership.

A Telugu treasure-hunt thriller in Hindi on ZEE5 Premium, about a sceptical doctor who follows ancient clues from Dwarka towards an anklet linked to Lord Krishna.

Mughal-e-Azam

The classic of the group: K. Asif's 1960 epic of Prince Salim, the court dancer Anarkali and Emperor Akbar's opposition, with Dilip Kumar, Madhubala and Prithviraj Kapoor.

Master
ZEE5 (listed as Vijay The Master)CBFC U/A179 min
ZEE5 carries the Hindi dub as Vijay The Master; the Prime Video versions have no Hindi audio. Vijay plays a hard-drinking college lecturer posted to a juvenile home that Vijay Sethupathi's gangster secretly controls. Rated U/A but about three hours long, it includes brutal fights, drug abuse and violence against teenagers, so it suits older teens and adults who enjoy star-driven action.

The Kashmir Files
ZEE5 (Premium)CBFC A170 min
Placed last on ZEE5 because it is the most demanding: an A-certified, 170-minute drama that sets a fictional family story against the 1990 exodus of Kashmiri Hindus. It depicts violence, and its framing is contested, with scholars disputing its use of the word genocide even as it won a National Film Award. For adult viewers who want to watch it and judge for themselves.
SonyLIV

Bramayugam
SonyLIV (choose Hindi in the audio menu)139 min
SonyLIV's pick is a black-and-white Malayalam folk horror film, with Hindi on the same title as the original, so switch it in the audio menu. A runaway folk singer is trapped in a crumbling mansion ruled by Mammootty's unsettling master. It runs 139 minutes, and SonyLIV rates it U/A 16+ for strong violence and language. A good next step for viewers who liked Tumbbad.
