Mumbai: Bollywood’s theatrical calendar has undergone a significant reshuffle, with several high-profile films moving away from their original release plans and locking in new dates across 2026 and 2027.
Among the major changes, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do has shifted its release, while Love & War has been pushed further, extending its long-awaited arrival to 2027. The changes reflect growing competition for premium release windows and efforts by studios to avoid direct box office clashes.
Other films affected by the reshuffle include Naagzilla, Vvan: Force of the Forrest, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai and Peddi, all of which have adjusted schedules amid production timelines, strategic positioning and evolving competition.
The revised calendar has also created fresh collision points, with several films now headed for crowded release frames that could intensify the battle at the box office.
Industry watchers see the reshuffle as part of a wider trend of studios recalibrating release strategies to maximise theatrical potential, especially as big-ticket films compete for holiday corridors and high-footfall weekends.
With more announcements expected in the coming months, the Bollywood release slate may see further movement as producers continue fine-tuning their strategies.
