Most-awaited Bollywood releases in February 2026

The 50 - February 1 (JioHotstar [OTTplay Premium])

Adapted from the hit French format Les Cinquante The 50 is a high-stakes reality show. In a posh mansion called the Mahal, 50 popular celebs, including actors, digital creators, and influencers, gather for the series. The show is structured like a social experiment, with three zones—the Arena for mental and physical challenges, the Courtyard for high-risk penalties, and the Mahal itself—where contestants must navigate a world of changing alliances and intense psychological strategy. Adaptability and social intelligence, rather than conventional popularity, will determine which of the fifty players survives the game's surprising twists and turns.

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 - February 6 (JioHotstar [OTTplay Premium])

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 is a jumbled comic mess that has Kapil Sharma back as Mohan Sharma, a guy whose "compulsive niceness" gets him stuck in a spiritual and marital quagmire. Despite Mohan's best efforts, he ends up wed to three different women—Meera (Tridha Choudhary), Ruhi (Ayesha Khan), and Jenny (Parul Gulati)—in his pursuit of his real love, Saniya (Hira Warina). Inspector David D'Costa (Sushant Singh) is searching for an enigmatic man with three wives, while Mohan, with the help of his closest friend Hubby (Manjot Singh), furiously juggles four lives, each spanning different faiths. In a high-octane comic finale, Mohan's elaborate web of deceit crumbles, and the unexpected discovery of a fifth lie—his childhood marriage to a character portrayed by Kapil's actual wife, Ginni Chatrath—is punctuated.

Vadh 2 - February 6 (theatrical)

This "spiritual sequel" to the smash hit from 2022, Vadh 2 features Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta reunited in very different roles. The story moves to the Shivpuri District Jail, where Mishra's character, Shambhunath Mishra, a jail guard about to retire, forms an unusual friendship with Gupta's character, Manju Singh, an inmate nearing the end of her term for two murders. A violent incident in prison breaks their peaceful existence, leading them into an intricate web of morality and salvation as they navigate suspicion, treachery, and anarchy. The thriller, which also stars Kumud Mishra and Shilpa Shukla and sticks to the original's "common man pushed to extremes" premise, asks whether telling the truth is worth giving up one's hard-won freedom.

Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! Fun on the Run - February 6 (theatrical)

Shashank Bali's frantic Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! Fun on the Run is based on the legendary comedy series. Along with their wives, Anita (Vidisha Srivastava) and Angoori (Shubhangi Atre), the plot follows rival neighbours Vibhuti Narayan Mishra (Aasif Sheikh) and Manmohan Tiwari (Rohitashv Gour) on a wild road trip. When they encounter two eccentric mobster brothers, Shanti (Ravi Kishan) and Kranti (Mukesh Tiwari), their holiday turns into a "comedy of errors" in no time. When Kishan's character develops feelings for the innocent Angoori, the plot thickens with high-octane adventures, forced marriage schemes, and comical showdowns. The film brings the show's signature Kanpur-style comedy to the silver screen.

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri - February 9 (Prime Video)

A contemporary romantic movie, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri contrasts the romanticism of Bollywood films from the 1990s with the "hook-up culture" of today. During a sun-drenched yacht cruise in Croatia, the protagonists, a carefree wedding planner named Rehaan "Ray" Mehra (Kartik Aaryan) and an aspiring novelist named Rumi Vardhan (Ananya Panday), fall in love. Reality sets in for their holiday romance when they get back to India; Rumi is conflicted about her feelings for Ray and her responsibility to her sleepwalking, elderly father (Jackie Shroff), particularly because her sister is getting ready to leave for a foreign country. The film starts off as a glossy travelogue but turns into a grounded family drama when Ray travels to Agra to win over Rumi's traditional family. Along the way, it challenges the idea that a woman should give up her happiness for filial duty.

Kohrra Season 2 - February 11 (Netflix)

Kohrra Season 2 moves on to a different investigation set in the wintry Dalerpura, Punjab. Having been transferred from Jagrana, Assistant Sub-Inspector Amarpal Garundi (Barun Sobti) now reports to the fearsome new commanding officer Dhanwant Kaur (Mona Singh) during the season. A brutally dismembered woman is discovered in her brother's home; this case reveals layers of politics, family secrets, and power. Both Garundi, now juggling the duties of marriage, and Kaur, also navigating the "fog" of the investigation, must face their own long-suppressed traumas and unfinished business. The show still explores human sadness, but now it shows how, in quiet Punjab, the truth can be as scary as the crime.

Tu Yaa Main - February 13 (theatrical)

A survival-romantic thriller, Tu Yaa Main takes a "date-fright" approach to the typical Valentine's Day cliché. The film stars Shanaya Kapoor as the stunning supermodel "Miss Vanity" and Adarsh Gourav as the self-assured Nalasopara-based rapper and creative person "A". A high-stakes stunt for a viral video leaves them stuck in a blood-stained, abandoned swimming pool, turning what starts as a humorous partnership between two influencers from drastically different socio-economic backgrounds into a nightmare. In a frantic struggle for survival, the two must put aside their disagreements and outwit a man-eating crocodile. The film combines elements of contemporary influencer culture with a graphic, high-tension setting that harkens back to the iconic crocodile scenes from the 1990s.

O'Romeo – February 13 (theatrical)

The fourth film starring Shahid Kapoor and directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, O'Romeo is a gritty and violent action thriller. The film follows tattooed mobster Haseen Ustara (Kapoor) as he falls madly in love with a strange woman named Afsha (Triptii Dimri), shattering his life of cold calculation in the backdrop of the seedy Mumbai underworld. Tragically, they become caught in a "covenant of blood" that sets them against rival gangs and an unyielding police officer (Nana Patekar), even though Afsha originally seeks him to carry out a supari (contract killing) as vengeance. Based on the book Mafia Queens of Mumbai and loosely inspired by the lives of Hussain Ustara and Sapna Didi, the film combines Bhardwaj's characteristic poetic darkness with hyperstylised violence, building to a high-stakes confrontation with a merciless adversary played by Avinash Tiwary.

Assi - February 20 (theatrical)

Assi is Anubhav Sinha's third film starring Taapsee Pannu; it's a tense courtroom drama and investigative thriller. 80 women in India are sexual assault victims daily, according to the film's title and promotional campaign ("80. Per day. Every day."). The story follows Kani Kusruti's character, a survivor of a horrific gang rape, as she and her fervent advocate, Pannu, fight for justice in a court system plagued by institutional failure and widespread silence. Based on the description, the drama takes place during an "urgent watch" that shifts gears from the crime scene to a heated courtroom struggle, raising the question of whether society as a whole or just the guilty individuals bear full responsibility for these atrocities.

Do Deewane Seher Mein - February 20 (theatrical)

A contemporary romantic drama, Do Deewane Seher Mein recounts the lives of two young people, Shashank (Siddhant Chaturvedi) and Roshni (Mrunal Thakur), whose paths cross in the bustling metropolis of Mumbai. While navigating shared aspirations, individual goals, and the tumultuous unpredictability of city life, the protagonists in this "imperfectly perfect" love story reveal the "almost-confessions" and subtle vulnerabilities of contemporary relationships. Moving from a soulfully melodic romance to a grounded examination of whether a bond formed on shared silences and "what ifs" can endure the demands of a demanding world, the iconic title song from the 1977 film "Gharonda" evokes nostalgia.

Ikkis - February 26 (Prime Video)

A touching biographical war drama, Ikkis follows the life of the youngest ever recipient of the Param Vir Chakra, Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal (Agastya Nanda). The story deftly transitions between two time periods: one set in 1971, during the brutal Battle of Basantar, when the young tank commander gave his life for his country, and another set in 2001, when his father, Brigadier M.L. Khetarpal, played by Dharmendra, goes to Pakistan for a reunion. A unique example of cinematic examination of the "enemy" perspective is the meeting between Brigadier Jaan Mohammed Nisar, played by Jaideep Ahlawat, and the man who shot and killed Khetarpal's son. By eschewing typical war picture clichés and instead presenting a "pro-humanity" and anti-war epic, the film pays tribute to a youngster who was "forever 21" and the shared trauma and mutual respect among troops.

Beyond The Kerala Story - February 27 (theatrical)

Beyond The Kerala Story the official sequel to the 2023 smash hit The Kerala Story, presents a grim narrative. Taking a broader view of India than its predecessor, this sequel tells the terrifying true stories of survivors from all around the nation, including those who have been "silenced or discredited". The film's examination of indoctrination and institutional failure is founded in a documentary-style authenticity, which is achieved by introducing an entirely new cast of fresh characters. The film employs the bold slogan "This time, it goes deeper. This time, it hurts more." Continuing the franchise's goal of providing a voice to marginalised victims of social and political radicalism, the story is presented as a grand and even more intense sequel.

Shabad - Reet Aur Riwaaz - TBA (ZEE5 [OTTplay Premium])

A moving family drama unfolding in rural Punjab, Shabad – Reet Aur Riwaaz consists of six episodes. Mihir Ahuja plays the role of Ghuppi, a timid and stuttering 16-year-old whose secret desire is to play football, which goes against the plans his father, Harminder, played by Suvinder Vicky, has for him. An internal and generational tug-of-war ensues as Harminder, a revered and traditional Ragi musician, is adamant that his son continue the family's holy musical legacy. Following Ghuppi's nuanced quest to discover his own voice in a society characterised by spiritual discipline and ancestral traditions, the story delves into themes of identity, bravery, and the burden of past expectations, going beyond a straightforward conflict of interest.
