Mumbai, September 15:Love Lottery, the courtroom-drama-meets-suspense-thriller led by Akshay Oberoi and Heli Daruwala, will no longer hit theatres this week. The film's release has been moved from September 18 to September 25, 2026, after its censor certificate did not come through in time for the original date.
The shift is procedural rather than creative — a hold-up in certification, not a change in the film itself — but it does mean audiences will have to wait one extra week to see how the story plays out on the big screen.
What the film is about
Directed by Arvind Pandey and produced by Kuldeep Bhargava "Tushar" under the Cinema-Ganj Films banner, Love Lottery sets out to do more than stage a straightforward legal battle. It uses its courtroom framework to look at marriage, betrayal and the fallout of matrimonial disputes, with a specific focus on men's rights within those proceedings — a theme Indian cinema has explored only sparingly.
