Directed by Magizh Thirumeni, Vidaamuyarchi has been generating quite a buzz among cinephiles ahead of its release. Starring Ajith Kumar and Trisha Krishnan, the action thriller film was scheduled to be released on Pongal 2025, before its release was indefinitely postponed. The upcoming Tamil movie is eyeing to arrive in cinemas in the last week of January this year, while makers are yet to announce the fixed release date. In the absence of Vidaamuyarchi, Pongal festival has been quite dull, with the exception of Madha Gaya Raja which is doing reasonably well.

How Vidaamuyarchi's Absence From Box Office Brought A Dull Pongal 2025

Pongal didn't witness big releases this year. Overall, it is a dull festive weekend at the Tamil Nadu box office. Tamil exhibitors have been missing the presence of  Vidaamuyarchi in Pongal. Ajith Kumar-starrer was postponed on New Year's Eve 2024, ie December 31, 2024, leaving fans disheartened.

Recently, in a motorsport event, Ajith confirmed that Vidaamuyarchi is releasing in January 2025. Reportedly, it is expected to hit the screens around Republic Day week. Sources now claim that it may arrive in cinemas on January 24.

Vidaamuyarchi To Emerge As The Biggest Opener In Tamil Nadu

Regardless of its speculations about the release date, Vidaamuyarchi is all set to become the biggest opener of the year in Tamil Nadu markets. The box office performance of Ajith Kumar and Trisha Krishnan's actioner in the long run would then depend on its word-of-mouth.

Produced by Subaskaran Allirajah under Lyca Productions, Vidaamuyarchi is reportedly based on the 1997 Hollywood crime thriller film, Breakdown.
