Ranbir Kapoor, Suriya, Sharwanand, Dulquer Salmaan, Mouli Tanuj, Vishwak Sen, Rashmika Mandanna, Dhanush and Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas are among the stars arriving with their new films this November. The box-office calendar is packed with releases, coinciding with the festive holiday season.
November is generally considered a relatively slow month for the Telugu box office. However, November 2026 is shaping up differently, with three to four films competing for audience attention almost every weekend.
Ramayana vs Scene vs Summer Holidays
The first week of November will witness the release of “Ramayana: Part 1” on November 5, followed by Suriya’s “Scene” and “Summer Holidays” on November 6.
Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi’s “Ramayana” has generated considerable hype. However, it remains to be seen whether the film will make a significant impact in the Telugu states. Despite positive buzz, it has not yet generated the massive anticipation one would expect from a big-budget film of this scale.
Suriya has delivered two hits this year and is now arriving with his third release, “Scene”. The trailer has not made much of an impression, and the overall buzz is relatively low. However, Suriya’s popularity and his current box-office form could help the film secure decent openings.
“Summer Holidays” is a small-budget film but comes with a content-driven concept. Produced by Dheeraj Mogilineni, the film’s promotional campaign has been progressing well.
Bhogi vs Donga Naa Koduku and Seven Other Films
As many as nine films are scheduled to hit theatres on November 12 and 13. Among them, three have generated relatively more attention.
Sharwanand and Sampath Nandi have teamed up for “Bhogi”, a period action drama scheduled for release on November 12. The film’s songs have created a positive impression, and expectations are reasonably good. Anupama Parameswaran plays the female lead. Sudigaali Sudheer’s “GOAT” is also arriving on the same day.
On November 13, Mouli Tanuj Prasanth’s “Donga Naa Koduku” and Nagarjuna-presented “Itlu Arjuna” will compete for attention.
Mouli, the YouTuber-turned-actor, scored a hit last year with “Little Hearts”. His latest film is backed by leading production house Mythri Movie Makers, and the promotions have been strong.
“Itlu Arjuna” stars newcomer Aneish and Anaswara Rajan in the lead roles. The film has attracted attention because it is presented by Akkineni Nagarjuna and produced by popular director Venky Kudumula.
ENE Repeat vs Aakasamlo Oka Tara vs Om
Vishwak Sen has just delivered a major box-office disappointment with “Cult”, but his reunion with director Tharun Bhascker is generating considerable anticipation.
“ENE Repeat”, the sequel to “Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi”, is a youthful entertainer. Tharun Bhascker’s quirky comic style is expected to be one of its major attractions. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on November 19.
A day later, Dulquer Salmaan’s “Aakasamlo Oka Tara” will arrive in cinemas. The film has generated positive buzz through its promotional content. Directed by Pavan Sadineni, it also features Shruti Haasan.
“Om”, starring Dhanush, Sai Pallavi and Sreeleela, is another film generating interest. Directed by Rajkumar Periyasamy, the project also looks promising based on its initial promotional material.
Mysaa vs Haindhava vs High
Rashmika Mandanna’s female-centric film “Mysaa” is scheduled to hit theatres on November 27. The actress plays a Gond tribal woman in the film. However, it remains to be seen whether the makers will stick to the announced release date.
“Haindhava”, starring Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas and Samyuktha, has also announced November 27 as its release date.
“High”, starring Sri Krishna, a longtime writer and associate of director Anil Ravipudi, is another film competing for attention on the same date. Its promotional content has generated a positive response.
With several prominent stars, sequels and content-driven films arriving throughout the month, November 2026 promises an unusually crowded box-office calendar for Telugu cinema.
