Coming Soon to Theatres — 1 July 2026
Upcoming theatrical releases across languages and genres, as of 1 July 2026.
If you thought July was just about monsoon rains, take a look at the calendar. The first week alone is a mad scramble of franchise animation, World Cup screenings, and a wave of regional heavy-hitters. From a massive Telugu fantasy spectacle to the next Spider-Man chapter, here’s what’s actually worth marking on your calendar.
The Battle for July 3rd
The first weekend of the month is packed. Leading the charge is Nagabandham - The Secret Treasure, a trilingual action-adventure dropping in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. It’s going head-to-head with Baby Do Die Do, a Hindi crime thriller that looks to scratch the Andhadhun-style itch. But the real volume is in the south: Tamil gets Gatta Kusthi 2 (the sports-comedy sequel) and the psychological horror Dark (2026). Kannada has three releases in one day—Graamaayana, Deadly Killer, and Love Seasons—proving that regional cinema is eating the lunch of mid-budget Bollywood right now.
Oh, and yes—three FIFA World Cup 2026 live screenings are listed for July 3rd. Expect those to shift depending on knockout drama, but the Spain vs. Austria match is the big ticket.
The Mid-Month Supernova
The week of July 10 is where the box office really gets interesting. Vishwambhara is the big Telugu fantasy release, aiming for a pan-Indian breakout. On the Hindi side, Alpha—the spy-action franchise entry—lands the same day. That’s a direct clash for premium screens. Meanwhile, the TATA IPL 2026 Qualifier 1 (GT vs. RCB) is also listed for July 10, which will cannibalize evening shows. Studios are betting big on adult audiences walking in after the match.
What to Save for Later
July 17 sees a clash of titans: Dhamaal 4 returns for pure comedy relief, while The Odyssey—an English/Hindi epic fantasy—tries to own the IMAX crowd. Then, on July 30, Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings in. Even with no villain details confirmed yet, expect this to dominate August’s conversation. Keep an eye on the table below—dates are fluid until studios lock them in, but this is your definitive roadmap.
