November 2026 is shaping up as a month when Hindi cinema shares the release calendar with South Indian tentpoles, Hollywood franchises and a heavy OTT lineup. For Bollywood fans, the clearest datebook entry is Ramayana: Part One on 5 November.
The big-screen story begins with an epic
Nitesh Tiwari directs the two-part adaptation, with Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. The reported plan is a multilingual theatrical release across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. Because the film retells a story familiar to generations of Indian viewers, it is one of the most closely watched releases of the month.
The surrounding calendar is crowded. South Indian titles such as Scene and Mookuthi Amman 2 arrive on 6 November, Bhogi on 12 November, OM: Chapter 1 – Udhiram: The Blood Wood on 20 November and Mysaa on 27 November. Hollywood adds Godzilla Minus Zero on 6 November and The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping on 20 November.
The Hindi films to book in the final Friday
Two Hindi titles share 27 November. Yeh Prem Mol Liya, directed by Sooraj Barjatya, pairs Ayushmann Khurrana with Sharvari in a family-oriented romantic drama. The same day brings Gunmaaster G9, an action-romance from Aditya Datt starring Emraan Hashmi, Genelia Deshmukh and Aparshakti Khurana. That split could pull family audiences and action seekers in different directions over the same weekend.
OTT datebook
The most Bollywood-relevant streaming entry is Meghna Gulzar’s Daayra, with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran. It arrives on Netflix India on 13 November after a September theatrical run. The international OTT slate is also full.
- 5 November: Black Doves Season 2 on Netflix
- 10 November: The Devil’s Plan Season 3
- 11 November: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3 on Prime Video
- 12 November: The Empress Season 3
- 19 November: The Altruists on Netflix
- 20 November: Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3
- 25 November: Blade Runner 2099 on Prime Video
These are reported release dates, so treat them as a watchlist rather than locked plans; the calendar can shift. Still, the month offers a clear test of how mythology, family drama and franchise fare against each other.
