March 2026 is set to be a thrilling month at the Indian box office, with three highly anticipated films - Dhurandhar 2, Toxic, and Peddi - gearing up for a clash. The trade and audiences are eagerly awaiting these big-budget releases, which promise to deliver intense entertainment.
Dhurandhar 2, the sequel to the sensational blockbuster, is targeting a pan-India release on March 19. The film's makers have confirmed that it will hit theatres on the scheduled date, despite rumors of a possible postponement. Dhurandhar 2 is expected to leverage its OTT success and strong anticipation from southern markets, especially in the Hindi and South Indian territories.
Yash's Toxic is also set to release on March 19, marking his first film after the KGF series. The film's teaser has generated massive discussion online, and the makers are firm on their release plans, even if it means clashing with Dhurandhar 2. Peddi, on the other hand, has generated strong pan-India buzz through its promotional content, with its teaser and song Chikiri Chikiri receiving an excellent response across languages.
The competition is heating up, with Ram Charan's Peddi set to release on March 27, just a week after Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic. Meanwhile, Nani's ambitious project, The Paradise, directed by Srikanth Odela, is locked for a March 26 release. With multiple pan-India projects vying for attention, it remains to be seen whether all three films will stick to their planned release dates and face a direct box office clash. The stage is set for an intense battle, and audiences are in for a treat.
