Dulhaniya Le Aaeegi is a 2026 Indian Hindi-language comedy-drama film directed by Akashaditya Lama and written by Jayant Gupta.[1][2] It was produced by Siddharth Banerjee, Akashaditya Lama and Vikas Aggarwal under the banners Aleo Cine Sagas, Think Tank Global and Spira.[1][3] The film stars Khushalii Kumar,[4] Mahesh Manjrekar, Piyush Mishra, Omkar Kapoor and Snehil Dixit Mehra, with Agu Stanley Chiedozie in a supporting role.[5][6]

The story follows Navya, an unmarried 32-year-old woman whose planned wedding descends into confusion after several prospective grooms enter the picture.[7][8] It was theatrically released in India on 24 July 2026.[9][10]

Plot

Navya is the 32-year-old daughter of Devi Prasad, a wealthy and influential businessman. Subjected to persistent social pressure over her unmarried status, she eventually agrees to a lavish wedding arranged by her family.[11][7][8]

The preparations are disrupted when several prospective grooms appear and competing claims, concealed motives and family egos come to the surface. What was intended to be a conventional wedding begins to resemble a modern-day swayamvar, as Navya and her family try to determine the identity and intentions of the actual groom.[11][9][5]

Cast

Production and marketing

The project was publicly promoted in June 2026. Filmmaker Priyadarshan, with whom Lama had previously worked, congratulated the director and described the project as a family entertainer.[13][11]

The first-look poster was unveiled on 24 June 2026. It depicted Kumar wearing red bridal clothing, wedding jewellery and dark sunglasses while lying on a pile of colourful turbans.[14][15] Kumar said that she was attracted to Navya's bold, emotional and unapologetic personality, while Lama described the film as a story about families, relationships and an unconventional bride.[16]

Jayant Gupta wrote the film. Duleep Regmi served as cinematographer, Dillip Kumar Routray edited it, Shankar Samanta handled production design, Neetu Bhardwaj designed the costumes and Jayesh Pradhan served as choreographer. The background score was composed by Amar Mohile.[1][3]

The official trailer was released on 16 July 2026. It introduced the film's central wedding conflict and the arrival of multiple prospective grooms.[5][3][17]

Music

The film's songs were composed by Jazim Sharma, Abhishek Ray, Addy Singh and Arushi Krishna, with lyrics by J. P. Gangwar and Divyesh Mungra.[1][3] The soundtrack was issued by Aleo Music and consists of five songs.[18][19]
