7 Hindi films hitting cinemas in July 2026 — release dates, cast, what to expect from each one

Seven Hindi films hit theatres in July 2026 — spanning a female-led spy thriller, a desi hitwoman debut, an ensemble comedy franchise, a mythological adventure, and two family dramas. No Bollywood month this half has come close to this firepower.

Alpha is the 7th film in the YRF Spy Universe — and its first ever with female leads. Alia Bhatt plays agent Sita, with Sharvari by her side, Bobby Deol as the villain, and Hrithik Roshan in a cameo. Directed by first-timer Shiv Rawail, it runs 140 minutes.

Huma Qureshi plays Baby KarMarkar — a deaf and mute contract killer in Mumbai who only hears her dead sister's voice. Directed by Nachiket Samant, this neo-noir crime comedy is also Huma's debut as a producer, alongside her brother Saqib Saleem.

Dhamaal 4 reunites Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Jaaved Jaaferi and Sanjay Mishra in another treasure-hunt comedy. Directed by Indra Kumar, this is the most expensive film in the franchise — with a reported budget of Rs 200 crore. Total Dhamaal (2019) earned over Rs 228 crore worldwide.

Two mythology-driven adventures add depth to July's lineup. Indrajaal, rooted in Nilvanti lore, follows a group into a world of hidden treasures and dangerous illusions. Nagabandham: The Secret Treasure brings ancient Indian secrets to the big screen with a serpent mythology thread.

Dulhaniya Le Aayegi, releasing July 24, is a grand wedding family drama anchored by Paresh Rawal where family secrets and clashing egos collide. Then on July 31, Tera Yaar Hoon Main marks the debut of Aman Indra Kumar — son of Dhamaal director Indra Kumar — in a Mumbai coming-of-age story.

Alpha carries the weight of the YRF Spy Universe's reputation. Dhamaal 4 has a Rs 200 crore budget and a 19-year franchise behind it. Baby Do Die Do bets on a completely original premise. July 2026 will tell us exactly where Bollywood's audience stands — and what they're willing to pay for.
