Anticipation is real! Which Tamil movie are you ready to watch on the big screen?
Tamil cinema fans, brace yourselves—several highly anticipated releases are headed your way, and we’re curious: which one are you most excited for? ##Idli Kadai, Dhanush’s fourth directorial outing, hits theaters on October 1, boasting a vibrant rural backdrop, music by G. V. Prakash, and a stellar cast including Nithya Menen, Arun Vijay, Shalini Pandey, Sathyaraj, plus a cameo by R. Parthiban. ##Meanwhile, Parasakthi, directed by Sudha Kongara and starring Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa, and Sreeleela, is a gripping political period drama set during the Anti‑Hindi agitations of 1965. With music by G. V. Prakash Kumar and scenes shot across Chennai, Pollachi, Madurai, and Sri Lanka, it is slated for a grand Pongal 2026 release. Interestingly, the film takes inspiration from the iconic 1952 Parasakthi, honoring its legacy while telling a new, powerful story for today’s generation. ##Then there’s STR 49, starring Silambarasan TR and directed by Parking fame Ramkumar Balakrishnan, which aims to be a dark, stylish commercial entertainer set in a college backdrop. The cast includes Santhanam (reuniting with STR after a decade), Kayadu Lohar as the female lead, and Ravi Kishan in a supporting role. With cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa, art direction by Subentar PL, and music by Sai Abhyankkar, the film explores a mysterious dual life—hinted at in its first look, where STR is shown holding both an engineering book and a bloodied butcher’s knife. Despite early production delays and rumors of creative friction, the film is now back on track, with the director recently confirming that script work is progressing toward a full-scale revival. ##Karuppu, directed by RJ Balaji and led by Suriya and Trisha, is a compelling courtroom drama exploring caste and social justice—initially planned for Diwali, but now expected to release around Pongal 2026. ##Indian 3, the much-awaited sequel directed by S. Shankar and starring Kamal Haasan, SJ Suryah, Kajal Aggarwal, and Siddharth, continues its massive production journey and is expected to follow soon after Indian 2. ##Finally, Jananayagan, featuring Thalapathy Vijay, is still under tight wraps with no official details on its cast, crew, or plot revealed yet. ##So tell us—which upcoming Tamil film has you counting down the days?
