Can the Mehtas survive this digital detox? How far will they go for the cash prize?

All that unravels for some comedy, some drama and just a lot of heartwarming instances.

Maharani 4 (November 7, Sony LIV)

Huma Qureshi’s Rani Bharti is back to rule the political battleground. Maharani 4 continues the saga of power, patriarchy, and persistence, but this time with higher stakes and sharper political manoeuvring.

If previous seasons were about survival, this one feels like revenge wrapped in strategy.

Jatadhara (November 7, Theaters)

Sonakshi Sinha and Sudheer Babu team up for Jatadhara, a cross-cultural drama with elements of spirituality and action. Expect mysticism, rustic visuals, and a blend of South and North Indian cinematic moods, the kind of hybrid storytelling that’s becoming increasingly exciting in 2025.

Rashmika Mandanna takes a dramatic turn opposite Dheekshith Shetty in this romantic tragedy. The story explores love, obsession, and the fine line between passion and possession.

Early reactions suggest Rashmika delivers her most emotionally layered performance yet.

Baramulla (November 7, Netflix)

Delhi Crime Season 3 (November 13, Netflix)

Shefali Shah returns as DCP Vartika Chaturvedi in what could be the series’ most introspective season. Delhi Crime 3 looks beyond law enforcement into the emotional exhaustion of those who carry the system’s moral weight. It’s less about crimes this time, more about the cost of confronting them.

Kaantha (November 14, Theaters)

Dulquer Salmaan leads Kaantha, a drama brimming with mythic undertones and human fragility. With its moody cinematography and layered writing, the film promises both grandeur and intimacy- a slow burn for those who prefer cinema with texture.

(The above is a concept fan-made trailer as original teaser has been disabled by the owner)

Arbaaz Khan and Mahesh Manjrekar headline Kaal Trighori, a supernatural action thriller mixing folklore and modern-day suspense. The premise blends Marathi myth with urban fear, and the trailer hints at old-school horror with contemporary polish.

Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh return for another round of age-gap comedy, this time joined by R. Madhavan.

The sequel promises sharper humour and more emotional grounding, hopefully improving on the original’s half-serious tone. Expect meta jokes, family chaos, and plenty of awkward honesty.

Sisu: Road to Revenge (November 21, Theaters)

The grizzled war hero from Sisu is back, and still not in the mood for mercy. Road to Revenge doubles down on the stylized violence and dark humour that made the first film a cult favourite. Expect grit, gore, and Finnish fury.

Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh, and Aftab Shivdasani reunite for Mastiii 4. The franchise that practically invented early-2000s adult comedy is back, aiming for nostalgia, absurdity, and enough punchlines to make your inner teenager giggle again. Or maybe, it has aged terribly, we will see.

Haunted 3D: Ghosts of the Past (November 21, Theaters)

Zootopia 2 (November 26, Theaters)

Disney revisits the world of anthropomorphic chaos with Zootopia 2, which picks up with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde solving a mystery that threatens their city’s fragile peace.

Expect smart writing, social subtext, and plenty of visual delight for all ages.

Stranger Things: Final Season Vol. 1 (November 27, Netflix)

The Hawkins gang returns one last time. Stranger Things begins its farewell with Vol. 1- the beginning of the end for Eleven, Mike, and the upside-down world that defined a generation of streaming. Nostalgia and heartbreak incoming.
