About the Films

Vidaamuyarchi is an action thriller directed by Magizh Thirumeni, inspired by the 1997 Hollywood film Breakdown. Set in Azerbaijan, it follows a man (Ajith Kumar) on a mission to rescue his wife after she is abducted by a mysterious group. The film co-stars Arjun Sarja, Trisha Krishnan, and Regina Cassandra.

Thunivu, helmed by H. Vinoth, is a heist thriller featuring Kumar as Dark Devil. The film revolves around a high-stakes bank robbery and unmasking corporate corruption.

Valimai, also directed by H. Vinoth, is an action thriller where Kumar plays a police officer tracking down a gang of bikers involved in serious crimes.

Vidaamuyarchi debuted with a bang but saw a steep decline in collections compared to Thunivu and Valimai. Strong word-of-mouth and weekend footfalls will be crucial for its enduring success at the Tamil Nadu box office.
