Upcoming Movie Releases on August 2, 2024

The first week of August is just around the corner, and with that, its first Friday features some of the most highly anticipated movies of the year. 

From the gripping political thriller Ulajh to the epic romantic drama Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha and the insightful documentary Modern Masters: SS Rajamouli, this day promises something for every film aficionado. Here’s a detailed look at the upcoming movie releases on August 2, 2024.

Ulajh

Kicking off the list of major releases on August 2 is Ulajh, a highly anticipated political thriller directed by Sudhanshu Saria. The film features Janhvi Kapoor in a groundbreaking role as Suhana, a young Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer who faces intense scrutiny and conspiracy. Suhana, hailing from a family of patriots, finds her integrity challenged when a series of conspiracies threaten to tarnish her reputation. Determined to prove her innocence, she navigates through the turbulent waters of political scandals and betrayal.

The film features an ensemble cast, including Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Adil Hussain, Meiyang Chang, and Rajesh Tailang. Additionally, the upcoming movie has generated significant buzz, which is evidenced by the rapid sell-out of special preview screenings in cities like Mumbai and Delhi.

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha

Another highly anticipated release is Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, a musical romantic thriller directed by Neeraj Pandey. This film marks the reunion of Ajay Devgn and Tabu, two actors who have previously delivered many memorable performances together. The upcoming movie also features Jimmy Sheirgill, Shantanu Maheshwari, and Saiee Manjrekar. 

The story revolves around Krishna (Ajay Devgn), a murder convict who spends 22 years in prison. Once released on pardon, he wants to rekindle his romance with Vasudha (Tabu). However, she is married to someone else. The film’s trailer has teased a sweeping romantic drama set over two decades. Furthermore, it promises to explore the complexities of love and the impact of past decisions.

Modern Masters: SS Rajamouli

For documentary enthusiasts, Modern Masters: SS Rajamouli will be a must-watch on Netflix. This biographical documentary provides an in-depth look at the acclaimed Indian filmmaker known for blockbusters like Baahubali and RRR. The documentary features insights from renowned figures such as James Cameron, Joe Russo, and Prabhas, alongside Rajamouli’s colleagues and family.

The film comprehensively explores Rajamouli’s career, highlighting his influence on Indian and international cinema. With behind-the-scenes footage and personal anecdotes, the upcoming movie promises to be a fascinating watch for cinema fans.

The Sabarmati Report

The Sabarmati Report, directed by Ranjan Chandel, is a drama thriller based on the tragic 2002 Godhra train burning incident. Vikrant Massey stars as Samar Kumar, a dedicated journalist determined to uncover the truth behind the incident. Teaming up with fellow reporters, played by Raashii Khanna and Riddhi Dogra, Samar faces numerous challenges as he investigates the event. 

He and his team believe it to be an attack rather than an accident. Thus, the film follows their quest to find evidence. Furthermore, the upcoming movie depicts the aftermath of the incident, highlighting the journalists’ struggles and the impact of their findings.

In addition to the main highlights, a variety of other films are also set to hit theaters on August 2, 2024.

Furthermore, regional films like Adios Amigo, Alanaati Ramachandrudu, Boat, Jama, Bardovi, Vaar Tahevaar, and Kanmani Pappa are also releasing on the upcoming Friday. 

Apart from the Indian releases, M. Night Shyamalan’s horror thriller Trap is an international release scheduled for August 2. Trap is a story about a seemingly normal father-daughter’s outing to a concert. Things take a dark turn when police swarm the venue, suspecting the presence of a notorious serial killer known as The Butcher.
