3 Monkeys Story
Three masked men attempt a daring heist, which turns into a game of deception where nothing is what it seems. The makers have kept the rest of the plot hidden.
Release date
The film faced several delays before the makers fixed 4 December 2026. They chose Gandhi Jayanti to reveal the motion poster, playing on Gandhi's three wise monkeys: "See no evil. Hear no evil. Speak no evil. They chose otherwise." The campaign's own twist is "Sab dekho. Apni suno. Bekhauf bolo." Ticketing app District already lists the film for 4 December. We mark the date as confirmed.
Abbas–Mustan's twist-heavy style
The brothers have built a career on thrillers with late twists, and 3 Monkeys appears to follow that pattern. Mustafa Burmawala, son of Abbas Burmawala, returns to the big screen after Machine (2017). Vishal Jethwa was recently seen in Homebound, India's Oscar entry, and Arjun Rampal in Dhurandhar.
