Dussehra 2026 sees a wave of film releases shaping the season’s box office. Key titles include Ranabaali, Jailer 2, and Nayyi Navelli, each drawing attention for their stories, cast, and the debates around their content and release timing.
Nayyi Navelli opened at ₹3.36 crore on Friday, October 16 — a number that’s neither a disaster nor a triumph, just a quiet start in the middle of a crowded festive weekend.
Nayyi Navelli collected Rs 2 crore on day six, taking its India total to Rs 20.65 crore and its worldwide gross past Rs 27 crore, per Free Press Journal, as the film edges past Yami Gautam's Haq.
Yami Gautam Dhar and Aanand L. Rai are in Ayodhya for a pre-release event at Ram Ki Paidi, where Sadhu Tiwari will perform 'Awadhiya Ke Raja' live ahead of Nayyi Navelli's Dussehra release.
Dhurandhar The Revenge premieres on Star Gold October 18 at 7 PM — the first major Hindi film to claim Dussehra as its TV premiere window in years. Ranveer Singh returns as the titular spy, now back for a sequel that’s already been trimmed by the CBFC for broadcast: 45 to 50 cuts ordered, with a U/A 16+ version running 10 minutes shorter than the theatrical cut. That’s not a footnote — it’s thenew
Vijay Deverakonda calls 'Ranabaali' a celebration of forgotten heroes. 'You must all watch this film on October 16,' he says. 'Take your families along.'
Jailer 2’s trailer dropped, and the internet is already arguing about what got cut. The 100-minute final cut? Apparently, it wasn’t all included.
Yami Gautam Dhar is stepping into a new kind of skin—literally. In Nayyi Navelli, the upcoming fantasy comedy from Balaji Mohan, she’s playing Mohini, a role that demanded more than just lines and expressions. It required her to build a parallel personality from scratch.
Yami Gautam Dhar offered prayers at Patna Sahib Gurudwara ahead of Nayyi Navelli's October 16 release, marking her return to the big screen. The film clashes with Rajkummar Rao’s Prahaar on the same day.
