As the monsoon rain peaks, so does the excitement for the upcoming movie releases scheduled for July 26, 2024. From Dhanush’s much-awaited Tamil thriller Raayan to MCU’s Deadpool & Wolverine, this Friday promises something for everyone. Here’s a preview of the films hitting the screens this weekend.
Upcoming movies releasing on July 26, 2024: Raayan, Deadpool & Wolverine & more
Leading the pack is Dhanush’s highly anticipated Tamil film, Raayan. Directed by and starring the actor himself, this movie has been the talk of the town for months. Initially slated for a June release, the film faced several delays but is now confirmed to hit the screens this Friday.
The trailer of Raayan has already generated significant buzz, featuring Dhanush in a revenge-esque action role. Speculations about the plot are rife. While initially thought to be a gangster thriller, recent reports suggest Dhanush’s character might be a police informant.
The true nature of his role—whether he is a gangster disguised as a restaurant owner or a police informant—will only be revealed upon the release. The film’s ensemble cast includes Sundeep Kishan, Kalidas Jayaram, SJ Suryah, Prakash Raj, and Aparna Balamurali, among others.
Other than Raayan, Indian cinema fans have a diverse lineup of films to look forward to on July 26, 2024. Raj B. Shetty returns to the big screen with Rupanthara, a Kannada movie directed by Mithilesh Edavalath. This dark thriller, in the making for three years, explores a conflict involving rural and urban characters.
Shot predominantly at night, Rupanthara promises intense drama and violent sequences. Raj B Shetty is expected to play a negative character. Furthermore, the cast features Somashekhar Bolegaon, Lekha Naidu, Hanumakka, Bharat GB, and Anjan Bhardwaj.
Family Drama, another Kannada release, offers a unique plot centered around a dysfunctional family. The mother advises her children on how to commit a murder, adding a dark humor film to the list. Moreover, this movie promises to be a refreshing departure from conventional Kannada cinema. As the director aptly puts it, “They’re very selfish, and when in need of money, they can do anything — lying, cheating and even killing someone.”

Furthermore, Sahadev Kelvadi’s Kenda is a socio-political satire on disorganized crime. Kelvadi, making his directorial debut, also serves as the cinematographer for this film. It is produced by Roopa Rao, the director of Gantumoote. As described by the makers, “It follows the journey of a group of unemployed youth, who have no goals and how they are pulled into a whirlpool of crime. The film explores the triumphs and lows of the protagonist, who works in a factory and eventually ends up on the wrong side of the law.”
Adding to the excitement, July 26, 2024, will also see the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, featuring Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. This film is expected to break box office records globally, promising an action-packed experience for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
However, that’s not all. Friday also brings a plethora of other Indian films. According to IMDb, titles such as The U P Files, Carry on Jattiye, Uparwala & Sons, Panchayat Jetty, and Pride are in the lineup. Additionally, films like Level Cross, Chor Chor, Manje Bistre 3, Gharat Ganpati, Operation Raavan, Mafia, and Raktaksha add to the mix. Fans can also look forward to Purushothamudu, Ishwar Kya Che?, Troy the Bharat Putra, Google Aai, and Ram NRI.
In conclusion, this Friday promises something for everyone. From the highly awaited Raayan and Roopanthara to the global screening of Deadpool & Wolverine. Whether you’re a fan of intense dramas, thrillers, or superhero blockbusters, the upcoming movie releases on July 26, 2024, has something special in store for you.
