Ten films currently listed for Indian release in December 2026 make up this chronological watchlist. Their listed India release dates give you a starting point for Indian theater planning, while cast and genre details can help shape a December watchlist.
The top 10 upcoming Bollywood movies December 2026 selections are ordered by their listed India release dates, not by quality, popularity, or expected box office. Timing, listed cast, and genre are the main comparison points, with runtime and UA rating details available for only two titles.
A UA rating is a film certification category allowing public exhibition with parental guidance for children; the label alone does not establish a more specific age category. Release schedules can change, and a listed date does not guarantee a screening at every local cinema.
Key Takeaways
- The ten selections are arranged by listed India release date.
- Six titles share the first listed date in the month.
- Cast and genre details offer useful ways to compare films.
- Only two films have listed runtime details here.
- A UA rating calls for parental guidance for children.
- Local theater schedules determine which films you can see.
Treat each date as a planning point and check local showtimes before arranging a theater visit.
Top 10 Upcoming Bollywood Movies December 2026: Four December 4 Picks
Four of the selected titles share December 4 as their listed India release date. These Bollywood movies start the month’s scheduled theatrical choices, giving viewers an early group to consider for their December plans.
A shared date can make a shortlist easier to build, but it does not mean every local theater will show all four films. The release date is a calendar marker, not a promise about screening times or local availability.
Chamunda
Chamunda is listed for release in India on December 4, 2026. That date puts it among the month’s earliest scheduled films and makes it a straightforward choice to track as you plan a theater visit.
The listed genre is comedy-horror, a useful first clue if you enjoy films that combine those categories. No plot summary is needed to put the title on a watchlist: its date and genre already offer two practical points of comparison.
Cousin Isha
Cousin Isha is also listed for release in India on December 4, 2026. Its listed genres are romance and musical, which may help viewers decide whether it fits their preferred kind of cinema experience.
The title’s place on the same date gives you another option to compare, rather than a reason to assume that local screenings will overlap or match. Keep the name and date together when checking a cinema’s schedule.
Eetha
Eetha is listed for release in India on December 4, 2026, making it another opening-week choice in the December schedule. Its listed genres are drama and musical, details that help distinguish it from other titles sharing the date.
For viewers who like comparing a month’s options by category, that combination gives Eetha a clear spot on the list. The genre labels do not reveal the story, so treat them as a starting point rather than a synopsis.
3 Monkeys
3 Monkeys is listed for release in India on December 4, 2026. Its listed genres are drama and thriller, giving it a different category mix from the other three titles introduced here.
The date makes it part of the same early-month group, while its genre labels offer a simple way to sort it on a personal watchlist. As with any scheduled release, a particular cinema may not carry every title on the date shown.
A shared India release date does not guarantee a shared local screening schedule.
These four entries answer which titles begin this part of the December schedule, but your local choices depend on each theater’s listings. Check the showtime for the specific film and cinema, rather than assuming the shared date means a shared screening schedule.
Two More Films Listed for December 4
Bokshi and Ranger add two more titles to the December 4 schedule. They bring the number of selected films listed for that day beyond the first group, giving viewers additional names to check against local cinema listings.
Both titles have a listed India release date of December 4, 2026. The date places them on the same-day watchlist, but it does not establish that a cinema will screen either one.
Bokshi
Bokshi is listed for release in India on December 4, 2026. That entry makes it one of the additional films scheduled for the date, and its listed genre is horror.
If you are making a list of films to look up when theater schedules appear, Bokshi is worth including by title and date. The release entry alone does not provide a storyline, so there is no need to infer one from the name.
Ranger
Ranger is listed for release in India on December 4, 2026. Its listed genres are action and adventure, giving it a separate category marker for viewers sorting possible cinema choices.
Those labels can help you decide whether to follow the title, but they do not establish its plot or how it will play. The date is the concrete planning detail, while local showtimes determine whether you can see it.
With both titles included, the December 4 schedule has more than the initial set of options. That does not mean every theater will list them or schedule them at convenient times.
Keep both titles on the same-day watchlist, then confirm their local screening availability separately.
Three Films Listed for December 11
December 11 brings three more titles into the listed Indian release calendar. Grouping the mid-month films by date gives you a compact way to compare their listed cast and keep the schedule straight.
This mid-month group adds a later set of options to the December calendar. Each title has the same listed India release date, but its local screening schedule may differ by cinema.
Ganesh Dust To Stardust
Ganesh Dust To Stardust is listed for release in India on December 11, 2026. Its listed cast includes Shivanshu Soni, Alok Shaw, Sukanya Kalan, and Sakshi Pawaskar.
Main Na Raha Mera
Main Na Raha Mera is listed for release in India on December 11, 2026. Its listed cast includes Adhyayan Suman and Divita Rai.
Mr & Mrs Grey
Mr & Mrs Grey is listed for release in India on December 11, 2026. Its listed cast includes Vivek Oberoi, Nithya Menen, and Ashish Vidyarthi.
| Title | India release date | Listed cast |
|---|---|---|
| Ganesh Dust To Stardust | December 11, 2026 | Shivanshu Soni, Alok Shaw, Sukanya Kalan, Sakshi Pawaskar |
| Main Na Raha Mera | December 11, 2026 | Adhyayan Suman, Divita Rai |
| Mr & Mrs Grey | December 11, 2026 | Vivek Oberoi, Nithya Menen, Ashish Vidyarthi |
The table keeps the three entries together, which is handy when comparing the listed cast without scanning separate calendar notes. A date can help with timing, while the names provide a different way to decide which films to follow.
Compare the three titles by their listed cast and the details confirmed elsewhere in the guide, rather than assuming their release date predicts audience appeal.
King Is Listed for December 24
King is the final selected title in this chronological list, with an India release date listed for December 24. Its listed genre is action thriller, placing it later in the month’s scheduled entertainment calendar.
The late-month date gives you a point to keep in mind when making December plans. King is listed as an action thriller, and its performers are collected in the cast table in section 8.
A listed date is useful for planning, but it does not say what time a showing will start or whether a particular cinema will carry the film. Theater schedules can vary from one location to another.
For a viewer choosing between films, the genre label offers a broad category, while the cast table makes the listed performers easier to scan. Neither detail is a substitute for a confirmed local screening time.
The date also gives you a practical reminder to leave room in the month’s watchlist for a title scheduled near its end. Keep your plans flexible until the cinema posts its current schedule.
Use the listed date to plan ahead, while checking the cinema schedule closer to the day.
Runtime and Rating Details for Two Films
The two listed running times are both 2 hours 2 minutes, while only Chamunda has a listed UA rating. That gives viewers a concrete time estimate for two films, though it does not confirm when or where either will screen.
UA rating is a film certification category allowing public exhibition with parental guidance for children; the label alone does not identify a more specific age category. Chamunda’s listed running time is 2 hours 2 minutes, and it has a UA rating.
Ganesh Dust To Stardust also has a listed running time of 2 hours 2 minutes. No rating is stated here for that title, so do not read Chamunda’s certification category across to another film.
Running time helps you estimate how much of your day a theater visit may take. It is not the same as the total time spent at the cinema, since a visit also includes the time before the feature begins.
These details are most useful when you are comparing a movie with other plans or deciding whether a particular start time works. They do not establish a local showtime, screening, or interval length.
Allow for the full listed runtime when planning the theater visit, and confirm the showtime with the cinema.
How the Genre Labels Can Narrow Your Watchlist
Genre labels offer a quick way to sort this month’s selections by the kind of cinema experience a viewer prefers. They can point you toward broad categories, but they do not reveal a film’s plot or the way its story unfolds.
As a first filter, genre can help you separate action from romance or drama from horror. Use the labels to narrow your choices, not to predict plot details.

- Comedy or horror: Chamunda is listed as comedy-horror, while Bokshi is listed as horror.
- Drama or thriller: Eetha and Ganesh Dust To Stardust are listed as drama; 3 Monkeys is listed as drama and thriller.
- Romance or musical: Cousin Isha and Main Na Raha Mera are listed as romance and musical.
- Action or adventure: Ranger is listed as action and adventure, while King is listed as an action thriller.
The categories are useful when you already know what you tend to enjoy. Someone looking for a musical, for example, can quickly spot the two titles with that label without having to compare every entry in detail.
Genre terms classify films at a broad level. They do not guarantee a particular tone, amount of suspense, or balance between categories, and a film can combine more than one label.
Use the labels as a first filter, not as a substitute for a trailer or fuller film details.
Cast Names Listed Across the Ten Films
The ten listed cast lineups range from two named performers to six. The tables make it easier to scan the cast for all ten films without treating a name list as a measure of screen time or billing.
Listed cast means the names included in a film’s cast listing. A cast listing does not establish a performer’s role or prominence.
| Title | Listed cast | Number of names |
|---|---|---|
| Chamunda | Alia Bhatt, Anil Kapoor | 2 |
| Cousin Isha | Vikrant Rai, Surbhi Talodiya, Riya Kapoor, Sourav Tomar | 4 |
| Eetha | Shraddha Kapoor, Randeep Hooda, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Siddharth Jadhav, Ishtiyak Khan, Anant Joshi | 6 |
| 3 Monkeys | Vishal Jethwa, Arjun Rampal, Mustafa Burmawalla, Tenzing Dalha | 4 |
| Bokshi | Prasanna Bisht, Mansi Multani, Dagi Ngomdir | 3 |
| Title | Listed cast | Number of names |
|---|---|---|
| Ranger | Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Tamannaah Bhatia | 3 |
| Ganesh Dust To Stardust | Shivanshu Soni, Alok Shaw, Sukanya Kalan, Sakshi Pawaskar | 4 |
| Main Na Raha Mera | Adhyayan Suman, Divita Rai | 2 |
| Mr & Mrs Grey | Vivek Oberoi, Nithya Menen, Ashish Vidyarthi | 3 |
| King | Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Suhana Khan, Arshad Warsi | 5 |
Counts refer only to the names shown in each listed cast. They are not a full measure of a film’s team, and a shorter list does not prove that fewer performers appear on screen.
Compare names as a way to identify familiar performers, not as evidence of equal billing or screen time.
Release Dates, Budgets, and Box-Office Results Are Different
A crowded release calendar can show when films are scheduled, but it cannot by itself show which ones have the largest budgets. A release date or recognizable cast alone does not establish a film’s budget.
These measures describe different parts of a film’s path from production to ticket sales. Box-office gross is ticket revenue, not profit.

| Measure | What it describes | What it cannot establish |
|---|---|---|
| Release date | Planned opening date | Production budget or audience response |
| Production budget | Spending on making and releasing a film | Ticket revenue or profit |
| Box-office gross | Ticket revenue | Profit after costs |
- A scheduled opening identifies when a film is planned to reach theaters.
- Production spending concerns the money used to make and release a film.
- Ticket revenue records box-office gross, but it does not subtract costs to show profit.
For readers comparing upcoming big-budget movies in India in 2026, the calendar and cast are not enough to identify the highest-spending production. A budget figure needs to be stated separately from a release announcement.
Box-office results are also a separate measure. Ticket revenue describes money collected from sales, while profit would depend on costs that gross alone does not show.
Treat box-office expectations as speculation until actual ticket-sales results are available.
Practical Checks for December Theater Plans
A release calendar is most useful when readers confirm the date and showtime for the cinema they plan to visit. A movie release listing helps you plan, while the theater’s current schedule tells you what is actually playing there.
Before leaving home, check the details that affect the trip. A theatrical release date is not a legal download option; digital access depends on an authorized release.
- Verify the title’s latest listed date.
- Check showtimes at the specific cinema you plan to visit.
- Confirm ticket availability before traveling.
- Check authorized digital platforms after the film becomes available.
A theatrical listing does not authorize a download; digital access depends on an authorized release.
If you want to download a film, wait until an authorized digital release makes it available through a legitimate platform. A theater date by itself does not grant a legal download or reveal when digital access will begin.
The wider 2026 schedule also includes earlier India release dates. Ikkis is listed for release in India on January 1, 2026, and Azad Bharath is listed for release in India on January 2, 2026.
Those January entries show how a release calendar can help you look beyond one month, but each title still needs a current local listing for a theater visit. Check the chosen cinema’s current schedule before leaving home.
Conclusion
The December schedule offers a date-ordered starting point for choosing a film to watch in theaters. It is a watchlist, not a prediction of quality, audience response, or earnings.
Use the listed cast and genre details to find titles that suit your preferences, then make the final call based on the cinema options available to you. A current local schedule is more useful for a real outing than a calendar entry alone.
Check your local listings before booking, then choose the title that best matches your watchlist.
