2026 is bringing a strong lineup of upcoming Bollywood and Hollywood OTT & movie releases across theatres and streaming platforms in India.

From big-screen action films and franchise sequels to direct-to-OTT premieres and global streaming debuts, both industries are balancing theatrical launches with digital releases this year.

If you’re looking for a clear update on what’s releasing soon — whether in cinemas or on platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, and other OTT apps in India — this guide covers the major Bollywood and Hollywood titles scheduled for 2026.

Bollywood Releases (Theatre + OTT)

1. Mardaani 3 (Theatrical Release)

The crime-action franchise returns with another intense chapter. After the success of the earlier films, expectations are high for sharper storytelling and darker themes.

If you enjoy strong female-led action dramas, this one will dominate conversation once it hits theatres.

Expected OTT platform (post-theatre run): Likely Amazon Prime Video or Netflix (official announcement pending).

2. Do Deewane Seher Mein (Theatrical – February 2026)

A romantic drama targeting Valentine’s Day audiences. The film focuses on emotional storytelling rather than large-scale spectacle.

Romantic Bollywood dramas usually move to OTT within 6–8 weeks after theatre release.

3. Dhurandhar 2 (Now Streaming on OTT)

Yes — this one is already available digitally. After completing its theatrical run, it has moved to OTT and is currently streaming.

Platform: Netflix

If you missed it in theatres, this is now a home-watch option.

4. Kennedy (Upcoming Theatrical Release)

A gritty crime drama generating buzz for its intense tone and festival recognition. This isn’t a mass entertainer — it’s positioned as a serious cinematic piece.

Expected OTT release window: 6–10 weeks after theatrical release.

Bollywood OTT Premieres (Direct Streaming)

5. Bandwaale (Streaming Now)

A musical-drama style film is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. It blends emotion and creative ambition.

Good pick if you prefer drama over action.

6. Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 (Streaming)

The sequel to the romantic comedy franchise is now available on JioHotstar.

Light entertainment, easy watch.

Hollywood Releases (Theatre + OTT)

1. Scream 7 (Theatrical)

The iconic horror franchise continues. Slasher fans already know what to expect — suspense, meta references, and familiar chaos.

OTT arrival expected later in 2026 after theatre run.

2. Wuthering Heights (Theatrical – February)

A classic literature adaptation starring major Hollywood names. Period dramas don’t dominate the box office in India, but they perform well on streaming later.

3. GOAT (Theatrical – February 2026)

An animated sports comedy releasing globally. After theatres, it’s expected to land on Netflix India.

Family audiences should keep an eye on this one.

Hollywood OTT Releases (Streaming Now / Soon)

4. The Conjuring: Last Rites (Streaming)

The horror universe expands with this latest installment, now available on OTT platforms in India.

Horror continues to perform strongly on streaming.

5. Predator: Badlands (Streaming)

Sci-fi action thriller currently available for OTT viewers. High production value, strong global appeal.

Platform: JioHotstar

6. Cross – Season 2 (Streaming)

International crime thriller series currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Strong pick for fans of detective dramas.
