In Cinemas: 17–24 September 2026

16 films reach cinemas in India between Thursday 17 September and Thursday 24 September, across Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, Odia and Bangla. They are grouped below by release day, with the running time where it has been confirmed, so you can see what is actually playing on the day you are free rather than scrolling a single undifferentiated list.

The busiest day is Friday 18 September with 14 releases. By language the week breaks down as 6 in Tamil, 3 in Malayalam, 2 in Telugu, 2 in Hindi, 1 in Kannada, 1 in Odia, 1 in Bangla. Where several films open on one day, the ones higher up each list are the ones currently drawing the most attention, which is usually a fair guide to how wide a release will be.

How this calendar is built

Every entry comes from TMDB's release data for the Indian region, filtered to full theatrical releases, and sorted by how much attention each title is currently getting. Running times are read from each film's own record, so a blank running time means the distributor has not confirmed one yet rather than that the film is short.

Dates move. A film listed for Friday can slip a week, and regional releases sometimes open a day earlier in some states than others. This page is rebuilt every week, so treat it as the position as of today and check with your cinema before booking. Titles that are pushed simply reappear in a later week's calendar.

Streaming arrivals are not included here. A theatrical date is a single confirmed fact; a streaming date depends on which service holds the rights in your country and changes without notice, so mixing the two would make the list less reliable rather than more useful.
