Just
a
handful
of
movies
became
successes
in
2024.
But
2025
brings
us
hope
for
many
more.
In
this
multi-part
series,
Joginder
Tuteja
brings
us
the
theatrical
releases
of
2025.
Fateh
Release
date:
January
10
Sonu
Sood’s
directorial
debut
opens
the
year
with
a
lot
of
action.
Originally
slated
to
release
in
2024,
the
actor
plays
a
mysterious
assassin
here,
with
Jacqueliene
Fernandez
as
his
leading
lady.
Like
our
trailer
review
says,Sonu
plays
your
typical
action
hero,
who
is
on
the
move,
kicking,
jumping,
breaking
bones,
mouthing
punchy
dialogues,
wielding
knives
and
an
axe
while
he
remains
indestructible.
Game
Changer
Release
date:
January
10
The
first
biggie
of
the
year
is
the
Telugu
film
Game
Changer..
The
Ram
Charan-Kiara
Advani-starrer
is
a
pan-India
release,
close
on
the
heels
of
Pushpa
2.
Even
though
his
Indian
2
didn’t
do
well
at
all,
Shankar’s
new
film
looks
promising.
Emergency
Release
date:
January
17
After
facing
many
delays,
Kangana
Ranaut’s
directorial
Emergency
will
finally
hit
the
screens
in
the
New
Year.
Kangana
plays
Indira
Gandhi,
and
the
film
looks
at
the
years
of
the
Emergency
in
the
country
between
June
1975
and
March
1977.
Azaad
Release
date:
January
17
This
film
tells
the
story
about
a
horse
named
Azaad
and
its
owners,
Ajay
Devgn
and
his
nephew,
Aaman
Devgan.
A
period
film,
it
is
directed
by
Abhishek
Kapoor
and
sees
another
star
launch
of
Raveena
Tandon’s
daughter
Rasha
Thadani.
We
haven’t
seen
them
act
yet
but
they
sure
do
dance
well!
Skyforce
Release
date:
January
24
Akshay
Kumar
starts
the
year
early
with
Skyforce.
The
film
looks
at
India’s
deadly
air
strike
during
the
1965
War
—
it
arrives
appropriately
on
the
Republic
Day
weekend.
Directed
by
Abhishek
Anil
Kapur
and
Sandeep
Kewlani,
it
stars
Sara
Ali
Khan
and
Nimrat
Kaur.
Deva
Release
date:
January
31
Shahid
Kapoor
takes
on
an
action
role
in
Deva.
After
being
seen
last
in
the
romantic
comedy
Teri
Baaton
Mein
Aisa
Uljha
Jiya,
he
takes
up
a
totally
different
role
of
a
beefed-up,
no-nonsense
cop.
Directed
by
Rosshan
Andrrews,
the
film
also
stars
Pooja
Hegde.
Chhaava
Release
date:
February
14
Chhavaa
was
originally
supposed
to
release
alongside
Pushpa
2
in
December.
It’s
a
good
thing
it
didn’t,
as
it
may
have
been
completely
overshadowed
by
the
Allu
Arjun
blockbuster.
Vicky
Kaushal
plays
the
titular
role
of
Chhatrapati
Sambhaji,
the
son
of
the
great
Maratha
king
Chhatrapati
Shivaji
Maharaj,
who
ascended
the
throne
almost
an
year
after
his
father’s
death
on
April
3,
1680.
A
glimpse
from
the
film
gave
us
an
indication
of
what
to
expect.
Nakhrewaalii
Release
date:
February
14
Considering
its
romantic
theme,
Nakhrewaalii
has
found
a
perfect
time
to
release
on
Valentine’s
Day.
Starring
debutants
Ansh
Duggal
and
Pragati
Srivastava,
the
film
is
produced
by
Aanand
L
Rai,
so
we
can
expect
a
small
town
flavour.
Rahul
Shanklya,
who
had
assisted
Rai
in
Raanjhanaa
and
the
Tanu
Weds
Manu
movies,
makes
his
directorial
debut.
Sanki
Release
date:
February
21

Producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala
launched
Ahan
Shetty
in
2021’s
Tadap
but
the
film
released
during
the
pandemic
and
barely
managed
to
do
some
business.
The
filmmaker
bets
his
money
on
Suniel
Shetty’s
son
again,
and
will
re-launch
him
in
Sanki.
Ahan
will
be
seen
in
an
action
avatar
and
with
Pooja
Hegde
as
his
leading
lady,
there
is
will
be
an
intense
love
story
woven
in
too.
Dhadak
2
Release
date:
February
21
Dhadak
2
arrives
a
week
after
Valentine’s
Day
and
like
Sanki,
this
will
be
yet
another
intense
love
story.
Produced
by
Karan
Johar,
the
film
stars
Siddhant
Chaturvedi
and
Triptii
Dimri.
