Tamil cinema in 2024 may not have much to boast about apart from a few sporadic successes. However, that may not be the case with 2025, which will witness some biggies and pan-Indian projects coming to big screens. It will also be the year when almost every big star will have a release, while there are also some small but promising films sandwiched between. So, here are the Tamil films which we think will become blockbusters:
5 potential Tamil blockbusters to look forward to
Thug Life
Thug Life marks the illustrious reunion of veteran filmmaker Mani Ratnam and actor Kamal Haasan after their 1987 film Nayakan. Everything about Thug Life is sure to become a blockbuster in 2025, right from its music by AR Rahman, to its star-studded cast including actors Silambarasan, Ashok Selvan, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Gautham Karthik, Joju George, Abhirami, Nasser and Hindi actor Ali Fazal. Thug Life is expected to be a gangster action drama and is produced by Raaj Kamal Films International and Madras Talkies.
Coolie
While every Rajinikanth film is a fanfare affair, Coolie will mark the actor’s first collaboration with Lokesh Kanagaraj. Coolie is touted to be a gangster drama that will not be under LCU. The film will feature an ensemble star cast including Soubin Shahir, Nagarajuna, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj. Coolie has music by the happening composer, Anirudh Ravichander, and is backed by Sun Pictures. It will be indeed interesting to see what kind of film Lokesh is making with Rajinikanth.
Thalapathy 69
Thalapathy 69 starring Vijay is expected to be the actor’s final film, as he has taken up politics in Tamil Nadu. Helmed by H Vinoth, the film will have Beast actor Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Priya Mani, Gautham Menon, and others, making it truly a pan-Indian affair. Thalapathy 69 has huge expectations on it, given scores of Vijay fans are awaiting to watch their favorite star onscreen, perhaps for one last time.
SK 23
A title might not be yet attached to the project, but SK 23 is expected to be a blockbuster continuing Sivakarthikeyan’s Amaran success. Directed by AR Murugadoss, a filmmaker who has given hits to stars like Ajith, Vijay, and Suriya, SK 23 is expected to conjure the same magic to Sivakarthikeyan as well. Rukmini Vasanth will be playing the female lead in the film, which also stars Vikranth, Biju Menon, and Vidyut Jammwal.
Retro
Actor Suriya, whose recent film Kanguva, did not do well, thrilled his fans with the teaser of his upcoming film Retro. The film is directed by Karthik Subbaraj, who has confirmed the film to be an action romantic drama. While Suriya now has fans across India, and Retro coming out as a refreshing film, all eyes are set on the film. Pooja Hegde, Joju George, and others are part of the film.
Veera Dheera Sooran
Veera Dheera Sooran comes from director SU Arun Kumar, who made the critically acclaimed film Chithha. The film is headlined by Vikram, along with Dushara Vijayan, SJ Sruyah, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and others. It is interesting to note that the upcoming film is the second part, with the prequel to be released later. Vikram, whose Thangalaan became a success across India, has now become a popular face across industries.
Good Bad Ugly
Good Bad Ugly is Ajith Kumar-starrer helmed by young director Adhik Ravichandran. With the film produced by Mythri Movie Makers, and the looks of Ajith released recently making fans rejoice, Good Bad Ugly is expected to show Ajith in a different avatar.
Love Insurance Kompany
Directed by Vignesh Shivan, who is known for his quirkiness and romantic dramas, Love Insurance Kompany has all the abilities to become yet another love story that resonates with many, just like this year’s Premalu. LIK stars Pradeep Ranganathan, Krithi Shetty, SJ Suryah, and others, with music scored by Anirudh Ravichander. LIK is expected to be a futuristic set drama about dating among youngsters.
