In this post, I am sharing the Confirmed list of movies and web series releasing in October 2025 on OTT platforms and cinemas. While the last month saw a very high number of releases, this month we have extremely low number of releases on OTT and cinemas. Please note that release dates may vary as this information is based on announcements made by producers and production companies.
Interestingly, several movies are opting for digital premieres instead of theatrical releases to avoid clashes. For audiences, OTT platforms have become the new cinema halls post-lockdown, offering a variety of movies and web series to enjoy from the comfort of their homes. This month brings a fresh slate of highly anticipated movies and web series across digital platforms and cinemas.
With so much to look forward to, new month is shaping up to be a thrilling start to the year for movie and web series enthusiasts. Dive into our confirmed list and make sure you don’t miss the most awaited releases of the month.
