Three very different Hindi releases are hitting screens between July 13–19, and together they cover almost every genre a movie lover could want — biography, suspense, and social drama.

OTT

Leading the pack is “GDN,” the week’s biggest release, hitting theaters July 17 across five languages simultaneously (Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi). The pan-India biographical drama traces the extraordinary life of G.D. Naidu, the industrialist and inventor often called “the Edison of India.” Directed by Krishnakumar Ramakumar, it stars R. Madhavan, Sathyaraj, Jayaram, Priyamani, and Dushara Vijayan, spotlighting Naidu’s groundbreaking engineering work and his struggles during the colonial era.

Also releasing July 17 is “Rahun Main Tere Rubaru,” a suspense thriller with a genuinely twisty premise. The story follows a vlogger whose life unravels when his evil twin frames him for a deadly crime and kidnaps his girlfriend — forcing him into a desperate fight to reclaim his stolen identity. Directed by Inder Das, it stars Arya Kumar and Neetha Shetty.

Rounding out the week is “Teesri Begum,” streaming on WAVES OTT starting July 18. Veteran filmmaker K. C. Bokadia returns with this socially conscious drama exploring women’s dignity, resilience, and the fight for justice within the confines of tradition. The cast includes Kainaat Arora, Mughda Godse, and Zarina Wahab.
