The year 2026 is poised to be a pivotal year for action cinema, featuring major releases like Ramayana Part 1, King, Dhurandhar 2, and Jailer 2. Following a less successful 2025, the industry is looking to these tentpole films, particularly the ambitious, high-budget mythological epic Ramayana Part 1 and Shah Rukh Khan's action film King, to define the future of blockbuster filmmaking. The performance of these titles is expected to significantly impact the genre's trajectory.
