South Indian titles added on November 13
Bandra, released on ZEE5 on November 13, 2026, is directed by Arun Gopy and moves between Mumbai and Kerala with Tamannaah Bhatia, Dileep and Dino Morea in the lead. The Third Murder, on ManoramaMAX, follows Officer Christy and his team as they look into two apparently separate incidents that share one pattern.

OM leads the theatrical releases
Rajkumar Periasamy, who also made Amaran, directs OM, which also features Sai Pallavi and Sreeleela in key roles. It is the first time Dhanush and Mammootty have worked together on screen. Sai Abhyankkar composes the music, with cinematography by Ezhil Arasu K and editing by R Kalaivanan. The makers first planned a worldwide release for October 16. Dhanush said in September that the film was moved because its original date fell one day after the October 15 date set for Rajinikanth's Jailer 2. He added that OM would skip the Diwali window because Suriya's film Scene had already announced its festival date.
Other films opening on November 20
Sunny Deol's crime thriller Suryaa: Ant Se Aarambh Tak is also scheduled for theatres on November 20. M Padmakumar directs the film, which casts Deol as Soorya Pratap Singh, a father who loses his daughter. In October, the Central Board of Film Certification noted that the film had not been submitted for certification. The Indian Medical Association wrote to Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw about the film's promotional content and how it portrays the medical profession. The makers of Kaali Kheti said the film uses agriculture as the centre of its horror, tapping a fear tied to the land, its history and the secrets of earlier generations. Kaali Kheti, made by BlackCanvas Studio with Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar, is due in theatres on November 20, 2026.
