From Tiger Shroff’s stylized punches to Subhash Kapoor’s razor-sharp black comedy, from Shashank Khaitan’s family values to Aryan Khan’s much-hyped directorial debut, and even a bloody love story—the coming month in Bollywood looks like a tantalizing buffet that no one can resist.

The line-up kick-starts with Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi 4, followed by Shah Rukh Khan’s son’s directorial debut The Ba***ds Of Bollywood. Adding to the mix is the courtroom laugh riot Jolly LLB 3 featuring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi.

And while Varun Dhawan and Janhavi Kapoor bring a quirky, fresh romance with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna are all set to offer an offbeat love story with Thama.  Looking at the platter, it seems that nothing could be left out. What say! 

BAAGHI 4 

Release Date: September 5, 2025 
Directed By: A. Harsha 
Starring: Tiger Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Sonam Bajwa, Harnaaz Sandhu 
 
Visceral thrills and stylized violence seem to be Bollywood’s latest obsession. After gory spectacles like Animal and Kill, the unapologetic onscreen brutality continues now with the much-anticipated Baaghi 4.

The fourth chapter in the hit Baaghi franchise sees Tiger Shroff return as the formidable Ronny, fueled by rage and vengeance. Pitted against him is none other than Sanjay Dutt, who steps into one of his most haunting portrayals yet. Adding to the adrenaline are female leads Sonam Bajwa and Harnaaz Sandhu. Packed with high-octane action and slasher film-style intense violence, the teaser of the film has already caught the fancy of the audience.

Describing the film as rebellion, Baaghi 4’s writer and producer Sajid Nadiadwala said, “The movie's core theme is being a rebel, and I think everyone today identifies with that, which is why the audience has always connected with this franchise.” True, the Baaghi franchise has rarely disappointed, and judging by Tiger’s fierce transformation and Sanjay Dutt’s menacing presence, Baaghi 4 promises to be an edge-of-the-seat adrenaline rush.   
 
THE BA***DS OF BOLLYWOOD 

Release Date: September 18, 2025 (Netflix) 
Directed By: Aryan Khan 
Starring: Bobby Deol, Mona Singh, Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, Manish Chaudhari 

Stories about the glamorous and the big bad world of Bollywood are nothing new; however, what makes The Ba***ds of Bollywood one of Netflix’s most hotly anticipated releases is that it marks the directorial debut of none other than Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood’s Badshah, Shah Rukh Khan.

Featuring a powerhouse of talents like Bobby Deol, Mona Singh, Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, and Manoj Pahwa, The Ba***ds Of Bollywood is the ultimate underdog story, asking a compelling question—How far will you dare to dream? Speaking about the show, Aryan Khan shared his vision, “With The Ba***ds of Bollywood, I wanted to build a world that feels alive, a mix of glitz and grit, where ambition shines, egos clash, and nothing is ever as it seems.

In Netflix, we found a partner who shared our creative vision—helping us tell the story exactly how it needed to be told, raw, stylized, and something the world has never experienced before.” Clearly, The Ba***ds of Bollywood isn’t just another industry drama.  

JOLLY LLB 3 

Release Date: September 19, 2025 
Directed by: Subhash Kapoor 
Starring: Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Saurabh Shukla, Huma Qureshi 

The much-loved black-comedy legal drama franchise is all set to hit theatres, and cinephiles simply can’t keep calm. Reason? Well, the third instalment of the Jolly LLB series brings together both the iconic Jollys—Akshay Kumar’s Jolly Mishra and Arshad Warsi’s Jolly Tyagi—in what promises to be another hilarious courtroom drama.

The recently dropped teaser shows a riot of laughter and drama, with the two Jollys sparring in a classic over-the-top fashion, with veteran Saurabh Shukla further adding to the drama with his impeccable comic timing. Though the plot is still under wraps, Akshay mentioned in an interview, “I can't tell you at the moment about the plot or what Jolly LLB 3 is about. Jolly 1 was about a hit-and-run case, and Part 2 was a murder that happened, so there are real incidents in Part 1 and Part 2, and so Part 3 also has some real incidents.”  With a mix of satire and laugh-out-loud moments, this courtroom drama shouldn’t be missed. 

THAMA 

Release Date: October 17, 2025 
Directed by: Aditya Sarpotdar 
Starring: Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Paresh Rawal 
 
Touted to be Bollywood’s first ever ‘bloody love story’, Thama is the fifth instalment in Maddock Films’ much-loved horror comedy universe, and if the recently released teaser is any indication, it certainly looks bloody brilliant. The film is headlined by Ayushmann Khurrana as Alok, a historian on a quest to unearth the mythological roots of vampirism in Indian folklore.

Joining him is Rashmika Mandanna as Tadaka, a ray of hope who traverses the path of embracing both chaos and love. 

Talking about the film, Ayushmann said, “Thama is that project, a total wildcard, a film that no one has seen in India. The promise of it being a ‘bloody’ love story is also a supremely unique and compelling pitch for today’s audience, who want clutter-breaking theatrical experiences. Thama is a project of a lifetime for me.” So, are you all set to get spooked by this unique love story?
