Get ready for a packed entertainment calendar this November both for the big screen and for couch-viewers. Here’s a curated list of movies and shows to watch this November in theatres or OTT platforms.
Frankenstein
In this much-anticipated adaptation, legendary filmmaker Guillermo del Toro takes on Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley. The story centres on the brilliant but egotistical scientist Victor Frankenstein (played by Oscar Isaac) who brings a creature (Jacob Elordi) to life only to find both creator and creation undone by ambition, identity and isolation.
- Release Date & Platform: Theatrical limited release on October 17, 2025, followed by streaming on Netflix globally on November 7, 2025.
De De Pyaar De 2
A return to the more light-hearted side of release schedules: this Bollywood sequel takes its starting point from the 2019 hit and revisits the charming mess of generational romance. Ashish Mehra (Ajay Devgn) once again courts love and drama, this time navigating the added challenge of winning over his younger partner’s family (including Rakul Preet Singh and R. Madhavan). Expect laughs, familial chaos and feel-good moments.
- Release Date & Platform: Theatrical release on November 14, 2025 in India.
120 Bahadur
Marking a shift in tone, this film honours the courage of Indian soldiers in the historic Battle of Rezang La (1962). With Farhan Akhtar in the lead role as Major Shaitan Singh, the story promises intense battle sequences, emotional stakes and patriotic resonance. It’s primed to become a talking point for war-drama fans and mainstream audiences alike.
- Release Date & Platform: Theatrical release on November 21, 2025.
Kumki 2
A stand-alone sequel from the Tamil-film space, this project by director Prabhu Solomon ventures into the world of children’s adventure and drama. While retaining the emotional core of the first film (2012’s Kumki), this second outing focuses less on romance and more on the bond of man and elephant in a forest-setting. The tone promises immersive nature, friendship and visual grandeur.
