HIT 3 to Kingdom: Tollywood’s big releases coming in May

Tollywood started 2025 on a slow note, with only a few notable releases in the Sankranti season. The box office has since quieted down, with fewer major films lined up for the coming months. However, May is set to change this trend with multiple big-budget releases.

The month begins with Nani’s HIT 3, scheduled for release on May 1. As the third installment in the successful franchise, the film showcases Nani in his most intense role yet. Fans eagerly anticipate this crime thriller, which promises gripping action sequences.

On the same day, Suriya’s Retro will hit the screens. Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, this film is expected to be a stylish action drama. With Pooja Hegde starring alongside Suriya, the movie has already generated significant buzz. The technical excellence and retro theme add to its appeal.

Later in the month, on May 30, Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom is set for release. The teaser has already impressed audiences, hinting at a grand visual experience. Vijay’s new look and the film’s large-scale production have raised expectations.

With these three major releases, May is shaping up to be a crucial month for Tollywood. Fans can look forward to high-energy action, gripping storytelling and fresh performances. After a quiet start to the year, the Telugu film industry is ready to bounce back with these much-anticipated movies.
