Top 10 Movies Releasing in July 2019

We’re half past 2019 and to be honest it wasn’t overwhelming. We hardly have seen a movie except for one or two, which we would remember by the end of the year. Even the Eid releases in June, the heavily disappointing Bharat and the lackluster X-Men movie Dark Phoenix didn’t leave a mark. Hopefully the coming months have something to excite us. Now, let us take a look at various movies releasing across languages in the month of July.


10. Arjun Patiala

Language – Hindi
Release Date – July 26, 2019
Cast – Diljit Dosanjh, Kriti Sanon
Director – Rohit Jugraj Chauhan

With the blockbuster successes of their recent films, last year’s horror-comedy Stree and Luka Chuppi, a comedic take on live-in relationships, Maddock Films is back yet again with another comedy movie once again led by Kriti Sanon alongside the Punjabi sensation Diljit Dosanjh and the Fukrey star Varun Sharma. Touted as romantic-cop spoof -comedy, Arjun Patiala will likely re-create the comedic formula which worked tremendously in recent years and will probably repeat the same box-office success.


9. Mental Hai Kya

Language – Hindi
Release Date – July 26, 2019
Cast – Kangana Ranaut, Rajkummar Rao
Director – Prakash Kovelamudi

With numerous controversies surrounding the title of the film, Mental Hai Kya is a black comedy directed by Prakash Kovelamudi. After stern objection from the medical fraternity for the title claiming that it ridicules people with mental illness, CBFC had ordered the makers of the film to change the title. Speaking about which, Kangana has said there would be a mild tweak in the title and they’re only happy about the change as there were no cuts in the film and the board members were thrilled to watch the movie.

8. Marconi Mathai

Language – Malayalam
Release Date – July 5, 2019
Cast – Vijay Sethupathi, Jayaram
Director – Sanil Kalathil

Vijay Sethupathi is all set to debut in Malayalam Cinema Industry with Marconi Mathai alongside Jayaram. The teaser of the film promises a feel good entertainer from the makers and having two of the most prominent performers in the film, I’m all excited for the film.


7. Raatchasi

Language – Tamil
Release Date – July 5, 2019
Cast – Jyothika
Director – Sy. Gowthamraj

Jyothika who is choosing scripts very carefully and picks the ones which suits her the best is back with another female led film. Raatchasi is about a newly appointed headmistress of a Government school and how she takes necessary steps to reform the school and the students. Speaking about her career graph, Jyothika has done what many yesteryear top actress had failed to do. She has set her own path and is seen to be moving at a steady pace with good quality movies.

6. Lion King

Language – English
Release Date – July 19, 2019

Director – Jon Favreau

Another live action version of a very popular animated movie, Jon Favreau’s The Lion King will be released on the 25th anniversary of the original and is one of the most highly anticipated movies of this year. Although its not technically Live action because very much like Disney’s other attempt at Live action/CGI (The Jungle Book), Lion King is almost completely made of CGI. Can Favreau repeat the success of The Jungle Book with The Lion King?


5. Oh! Baby

Language – Telugu
Release Date – July 5, 2019
Cast – Samantha Akkineni, Lakshmi
Director – B.V. Nandhini Reddy

Riding high on the success of her earlier releases, the adorable romantic drama Majili and the crtically acclaimed Super Deluxe, Samantha is back with a women-centric film, which is based on the South Korean film Miss Granny. The film is touted as a fantasy comedy, where a 70 year old woman (Lakshmi) turns into her 24 year old self (Samantha). The teaser looks very joyful and Samantha is stunning as ever. The movie also has a Tamil dubbed version, releasing on the same date.

4. Super 30

Language – Hindi
Release Date – July 12, 2019
Cast – Hrithik Roshan, Mrunal Thakur
Director – Vikas Bahl

Based on the life of Indian Mathematician Anand Kumar, Super 30 is a biographical drama about the educational program of the same name and its founder Anand Kumar. Super 30 is a program, where they select 30 talented students from economically backward section of our society and train them for Joint Entrance Exam (JEE), which is the sole prerequisite for admission in India’s top premiere college, Indian Institute of Technology or IIT.

3. Dear Comrade

Language – Telugu
Release Date – 26 July, 2019

Cast – Vijay Deverakonda, Rashmika Mandanna
Director – Bharat Kamma

Vijay Deverakonda who’s on a roll recently with his blockbuster victories from Arjun Reddy to Geetha Govindam and Taxiwaala returns back this year with Dear Comrade along with Rashmika Mandanna, who will once again star as the female lead. With the first trailer already creating a buzz among the movie going audience, we will have to wait and see how Dear Comrade pans out critically and commercially as this will be Deverakonda’s widest release yet.

2. Spider-Man: Far From Home

Language – English
Release Date – July 4, 2019
Cast – Tom Holland
Director – Jon Watts

An above-average Homecoming acted charismatically by spoil-mouth Tom Holland has enabled director Jon Watts to up the scale in Far From Home, the first Phase Four Marvel movie, coming after the expectedly devastating aftermath of Endgame. Spidey will go international, leaving his friendly neighborhood behind, to fight the Elementals while on a school trip to Europe. It will also feature Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) as a mysterious (sorry) ally, or someone who will appear as such. It has a huge job of setting the base for future Marvel movies as it seemingly hints to an Illuminati presence behind-the-scenes, while also maintaining the balance of staying true to the heart of the character and putting him in circumstances he’s never experienced before.


1. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Language – English
Release Date – July 26, 2019
Cast – Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie

Director – Quentin Tarantino

Featuring a stellar star cast, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is easily one of the most awaited films for several years now. Tarantino will return to the director’s chair after the not-so-successful 2015 film, The Hateful Eight and with him reuniting with DiCaprio and Pitt for the first time since 2009 and 2012, this film easily captured the general audience reaction when the first trailer dropped last month. This will be DiCaprio’s first film after his Oscar-winning bout, The Revenant and it should be interesting to watch him play the character of a television actor who is on the decline.
