Udta Teer Release Date, Cast, Trailer: All We Know

Udta Teer, Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan's spy comedy, opened in theatres on 23 October 2026 after moving twice from its original October 9 date.

Udta Teer, a Hindi spy comedy starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan, released in theatres on Friday, 23 October 2026. Directed by debutant Akash A. Kaushik and produced by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment, the film follows a Pakistani intelligence officer who loses his memory and becomes convinced he is an Indian patriot (2, 6). Trade trackers had trimmed the film's opening-weekend forecast just before release (29).

Udta Teer release date

The film was originally set to open on October 9 (7, 8, 12). It was pushed back two weeks to October 23, with the makers citing a need for a "cleaner release window and a stronger theatrical runway" amid a crowded calendar (17). Reports tied the move to Drishyam 3's strong opening on October 2, which was said to be dominating screens (14, 15, 18). The shift was confirmed by trade analyst Taran Adarsh (15). Another film, Main Na Raha Mera, which had also been set for October 23, moved out to December 11 to avoid the same crowded weekend (24). In Nepal, the film's release hit a hurdle when the Central Film Censor Board refused public screening permission ahead of the October 23 date (27).

Udta Teer story

The film centres on Ayushmann Khurrana's character, a Pakistani intelligence officer who is caught in a chase that ends in an explosion, wiping his memory (2). He wakes up with no recollection of his past but an unshakable sense of Indian patriotism, and is mistaken for an Indian counter-intelligence officer (2, 14, 16). The premise is described as a reversal of the usual spy-versus-nation story, played for laughs as a patriotic comedy caper mixing action, mistaken identity and slapstick (2, 16). Sara Ali Khan plays opposite Khurrana in what she has called one of the most emotionally layered roles of her career (21).

Udta Teer trailer and songs

The first trailer was released on September 23, showing Khurrana's character in disguise during a chaotic chase (2, 6). At the launch, held in Mumbai, Khurrana called the film "India's FIRST patriotic comedy" (5). Asked about chanting "Pakistan Zindabad" on screen, Khurrana said, "That's part of the script ya. As an actor, you are ready to do anything" (8). A second trailer was released on October 13, described as offering fresh scenes along with more action (23). The first song, "Bhootni Ka", composed by Sachin-Jigar with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, was released on September 28, about a week ahead of the then-planned release (11). A second track, "Choozay", released October 3-5, marked rapper Emiway Bantai's Bollywood debut, with lyrics co-written by Bhattacharya and Emiway, and vocals from Emiway and Jigar Saraiya (19, 20).

Udta Teer rights deals and budget

The film is awaiting Gulf censorship clearance for a UAE release, as stated by producer Guneet Monga Kapoor (5). Sara Ali Khan said the film is being positioned for UAE-GCC markets, though no release date there has been confirmed (21).

Udta Teer advance booking and box office

Pinkvilla's pre-release trade tracker revised its opening-weekend forecast down to Rs 2.5-4 crore nett from an earlier Rs 3-5 crore nett range, citing buzz that had not moved much and advance bookings in a range similar to Pati Patni Aur Woh Do (29, 30).
