July is significant in India because it is closely interwoven with monsoons and romance. And we’re all suckers for love and romance, right? As Tara Sutaria recently said in podcast,” I love ‘love’. It is the best feeling ever. I don’t think I can compare any other experience in the world to that feeling…Love is the thing, man. Like, nothing greater. No career, no nothing beats love. And anybody that says otherwise has not been in it.” Well, that’s quite a heavyweight endorsement of the emotion.
Films in India have forever depicted monsoon as the season to fall in love, be with your loved one, or miss your love one deeply if the person is away. In short, it’s all about ‘love’.
While filling ourselves up with mush, let’s have a look at all the new Tollywood films that hit the big screen in July’25. Here’s Camongo’s list –
