Four major films are all set to hit the box office this September 2026, featuring top stars like Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, along with acclaimed directors like Priyadarshan and Meghna Gulzar. Let us take a look at these four films, their release dates, and the star cast in this blog.
The box office battle begins on September 4, 2026, with the theatrical release of Mirzapur: The Movie. Starring Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, Ravi Kishan, and Jitendra Kumar, this feature film brings the blockbuster Amazon Prime web series to the big screen after three hugely successful seasons. Given its massive fan following, the film has a very strong chance of becoming a box office hit.
Releasing on the exact same day, September 4, is the dark crime comedy Jeevan Ya Bheema Con?. This movie features Arshad Warsi, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Vijay Raaz, and Brijendra Kala. Along with plenty of humor, it highlights the pairing of Arshad Warsi and Sanjeeda Sheikh. This film could work wonders at the box office, though it will face stiff competition from Mirzapur.
Moving forward to September 11, 2026, the star-studded crime thriller Haivan will hit the screens. Directed by the renowned Priyadarshan and featuring an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Saiyami Kher, Boman Irani, and Shriya Pilgaonkar, this project marks a major shift. While Priyadarshan is mostly known for his comedy films, he is stepping away from the genre after many years with this movie. Another major highlight is that Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan are sharing the screen again after 18 years. With such a massive star cast and a strong script, this movie has great potential to perform well.
Finally, on September 18, 2026, Kareena Kapoor's film Daayra arrives in theaters. Directed by Meghna Gulzar—known for critically acclaimed films like Razi, Chhapaak, and Sam Bahadur—this investigative crime thriller also features South superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran alongside Kareena Kapoor, with some people also referring to it as a courtroom drama. While Meghna Gulzar's work consistently earns critical praise, predicting whether Daayra will be a hit or a flop remains difficult for now.
