Whether you're into masala entertainers, romantic dramas, or indie gems, July 2025 has something for every movie lover.
The ₹550 Crore Bet: Bollywood's High-Stakes July
Bollywood isn’t playing safe this July. With over ₹550 crore riding on new theatrical and OTT releases, this month is stacked with big-budget films, star-studded casts, and a mix of genres—from action and romance to musical dramas.
Confirmed July Releases:
Son of Sardaar 2 – Trailer drops July 11
Maalik
Metro… In Dino
Param Sundari
Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan
Saiyaara
Tanvi the Great
Nikita Roy
This lineup is aimed at pulling in crowds across metro cities and tier-2 audiences alike, with a strong focus on multi-platform releases.
Son of Sardaar 2: Trailer, Buzz & Controversy
Set to be Ajay Devgn’s big commercial return, Son of Sardaar 2 is grabbing headlines ahead of its trailer launch on July 11.
Why it's trending:
The film’s teaser track Pehla Tu went viral, not for all the right reasons.
Social media erupted over Devgn and Mrunal Thakur’s unusual dance moves—some calling it hilarious, others calling it cringe-worthy.
But that’s working in the film’s favor, building up meme-based visibility ahead of release.
The trailer is expected to bring clarity to the tone—whether this will be a full-blown action-comedy or lean more into nostalgic drama.
Star Pairings That Are Turning Heads
This July, Bollywood is also playing the chemistry card hard. Several new pairings are part of the excitement:
Ajay Devgn & Mrunal Thakur (Son of Sardaar 2)
Kartik Aaryan & Sreeleela – buzz around a romantic drama
Sidharth Malhotra & Janhvi Kapoor – confirmed for a cross-cultural rom-com
These pairings aren’t just about fresh faces—they’re a bet on new dynamics and storytelling combinations that audiences haven’t seen yet.
Beyond Theaters: What’s Coming to OTT?
While many of these films begin with a theatrical run, streaming platforms are waiting in the wings. Here's what we know so far:
Son of Sardaar 2 is likely to hit Netflix or Prime Video by late August or early September.
Regional OTT like MX Player and JioCinema are expected to pick up titles like Maalik or Tanvi the Great earlier than global platforms.
Bollywood's hybrid release model continues to grow, and July is a perfect case study—many films launching theatrically with quick OTT rollouts for wider reach.
