Enid Blyton’s much loved world of The Magic Faraway Tree is heading to the big screen, with PVR INOX Pictures announcing the film’s India release date. Starring Andrew Garfield in the lead, the fantasy adventure will release in cinemas across India on 4th September 2026. The film brings Blyton’s classic story to a new generation while introducing younger audiences to the magical world that many readers grew up with. Andrew Garfield plays Tim and leads an ensemble cast featuring Claire Foy, Nonso Anozie as Moonface, Nicola Coughlan as Silky, Jessica Gunning as Dame Washalot and Jennifer Saunders as Grandma.

The children soon learn that the tree has a magical ability. Every time they climb it, they can reach a different fantastical land. Each new place brings its own surprises, adventures and challenges, allowing the children to explore a world filled with imagination and unexpected characters.
While the fantasy elements form the centre of the story, the film also focuses on the family’s relationship. As the children experience their adventures, the family begins to reconnect and spend more time together.
