The first half of 2024 was considered underwhelming for Tamil cinema, primarily because its films didn’t meet fans’ expectations. Audiences favoured films from other languages instead like Manjummel Boys, Premalu, Adujeevitham, Kalki 2898 AD and Bramayugam. Despite a lukewarm start to the year, the latter half of 2024 promises more substantial releases. Although Indian 2 did not live up to the hype, Raayan received a warm reception. Here is the list of 8 films which were released today.
Andhagan
Tamil cinema fans can look forward to Andhagan, a Tamil remake of the cult classic Hindi thriller Andhadhun. Directed by Thiagarajan, who is also the father of lead actor Prashanth, the film sees Prashanth playing the role originally played by Ayushmann Khurrana. The film revolves around a blind pianist who unwittingly gets caught up in a web of deceit after witnessing a crime. The film also stars Priya Anand, Simran and other notable actors.
Minmini
Halitha Shameem’s Minmini is the much-awaited debut after a unique filmmaking process that saw a seven-year gap to allow the young actors to grow into their teenage years. Set in the hills of Udhagamandalam, this coming-of-age drama is the sequel to Halitha’s previous film Poovarasam Peepee. The film revolves around three childhood friends who struggle with the effects of survivor’s guilt and the challenges of growing up.
