'Heer Express' gets postponed: released pushed to September

Heer Express, the upcoming drama directed by Umesh Shukla, will no longer arrive in cinemas this August. The makers have confirmed a new release date of September 12, 2025, pushing the film by a few weeks. While no official reason has been given, the delay comes just as promotional activities had begun to pick up pace.

The trailer for Heer Express was recently unveiled and gave a clear sense of the film’s tone. It follows the journey of Heer, a young woman chasing her own dreams while grappling with her family's expectations. The story unfolds across India and the United Kingdom, touching upon themes of identity, heritage, and emotional responsibility.

Making her acting debut is Divita Juneja, who stars opposite Pritt Kamani. The cast also includes seasoned actors such as Ashutosh Rana, Gulshan Grover, Sanjay Mishra, and Meghna Malik. Together, they contribute to what appears to be a story that focuses more on character-driven moments than larger-than-life drama.

Despite the shift in release plans, the music of the film has already begun drawing attention online. Viewers have responded warmly to the early tracks, which offer a blend of romantic and upbeat tones that match the film’s emotional arc.

Produced by Umesh Shukla, Ashish Wagh, Mohit Chhabra, and Sanjay Grover under the banners of Tulip Entertainment, Merry Go Round Studios, and Creative Strokes Group, the film is co-produced by Sampada Wagh.

While delays often hint at logistical challenges or strategic release decisions, the buzz around Heer Express has remained steady. With its new date now locked in, the team appears focused on building word-of-mouth ahead of its September arrival.

For audiences looking for a grounded family drama set against contrasting cultural backdrops, Heer Express might still offer something refreshingly different when it finally arrives in theatres.
