With 2026’s biggest Bollywood releases already locked in or out, attention is starting to shift toward 2027 — a year already shaping up around a handful of massive sequels and star-studded dramas. Here’s everything confirmed so far, with dates marked TBA rather than guessed wherever a studio hasn’t locked one in.
Love & War — January 21, 2027
Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal headline this high-profile romantic drama, one of the starriest ensemble pairings on next year’s calendar.
Golmaal 5 — January 8, 2027
The long-running slapstick comedy franchise returns for a fifth entry, continuing the series that’s been one of Bollywood’s most reliable comedy brands for nearly two decades.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj — January 21, 2027
A historical epic centered on the legendary Maratha king, arriving the same week as “Love & War” in a packed late-January window.
Naagzilla — February 12, 2027
A supernatural action film blending the classic “Naagin” mythology with a modern monster-movie sensibility, after being postponed from an earlier 2026 date.
Spirit — March 5, 2027
A gritty cop drama headlining one of Bollywood’s starrier upcoming lineups, positioned as one of the bigger action dramas on next year’s early calendar.
Force 3 — March 19, 2027
The action franchise returns for a third installment, continuing a series built on hard-edged, stunt-heavy set pieces.
Varanasi — April 7, 2027 (TBA Pending Confirmation)
A big-budget action drama set in the holy city has been reported for an early-April 2027 window, though studios haven’t issued a final locked confirmation as firmly as the January and March titles above — treat this date as provisional until officially confirmed closer to release.
Ramayana: Part 2 — Diwali 2027 (Exact Date TBA)
The sequel to Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological epic is confirmed for a Diwali 2027 window, with Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Ravi Dubey returning. The exact calendar date hasn’t been locked yet — Diwali 2027 falls in late October, and the studio hasn’t issued a specific day, so this entry stays TBA rather than guessing a precise date. Given how dominant “Part 1’s opening weekend” has already been, this sequel is likely to be one of 2027’s single biggest events regardless of its exact date. Variety’s original reporting on the franchise’s release strategy has more on how the two-part structure came together.
A Correction Worth Noting
Shah Rukh Khan’s “King” is sometimes grouped with 2027’s biggest titles in early fan discussion, but it’s actually confirmed for December 24, 2026 — later this year, not next. We’ve covered it in our December 2026 most-anticipated roundup instead, where it belongs chronologically.
What to Watch For
2027’s Bollywood calendar is still filling in, and several titles above — particularly “Varanasi” and “Ramayana: Part 2” — are likely to get firmer dates as 2026 closes out. We’ll update this list as new confirmations land, following the same TBA-over-guessing standard used throughout. For everything already locked in for the remainder of 2026, see our Upcoming Bollywood Movies 2026 list.
How This List Will Change
A year-ahead Bollywood release calendar is inherently a moving target — dates shift for everything from VFX delays to avoiding clashes with a competing studio’s release, and 2026 itself saw several high-profile postponements play out in exactly that way. “Naagzilla” above is a direct example, having already been pushed once from an earlier 2026 date to its current February 2027 slot. Expect a similar amount of movement across this list over the coming months as production schedules firm up, particularly for the titles still carrying provisional or TBA dates rather than studio-confirmed ones. That’s also why this page functions as a living list rather than a one-time snapshot — new titles will be added as production announcements land, and any date that shifts will be updated here rather than spawning a separate article.
What is the biggest upcoming Bollywood movie in 2027?
“Ramayana: Part 2,” the sequel to 2026’s record-opening mythological epic, is confirmed for a Diwali 2027 window and is likely to be one of the year’s single biggest events once a firm date is set.
Is Shah Rukh Khan’s King a 2027 release?
No — “King” is confirmed for December 24, 2026, not 2027, despite sometimes being grouped with next year’s titles in early discussion.
Why are some 2027 Bollywood release dates marked TBA?
Dates are only listed as confirmed when a studio has officially locked them in. Titles like “Varanasi” and “Ramayana: Part 2” have reported windows but no officially confirmed exact day yet, so they’re marked TBA rather than guessed.
