5 Most awaited upcoming Tamil movies releasing in February 2025

1. Vidaamuyarchi

The film revolves around the story of a couple going through a rough patch in their marriage. However, their lives take a dark turn when the wife is kidnapped. The husband must rise above all odds to rescue her before time runs out, taking matters—and violence—into his own hands.

Vidaamuyarchi is slated to release on February 6, 2025. Anirudh Ravichander returns to compose the musical tracks and score for the Ajith film, marking their first collaboration since 2017’s Vivegam.

February is the season of love, and this year, Tamil cinema has no shortage of romantic movies. Among them is Kaadhal Enbadhu Podhu Udamai, directed by Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan, which is slated to release on February 14, 2025.

The film features an ensemble cast, including Lijomol Jose, Vineeth, Rohini, Kalesh Ramanand, and others. Touted as a romantic drama, the movie explores the theme of LGBTQ+ relationships and sheds light on the community.

Speaking of romance in February, Dhanush is set to release his third directorial venture, Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam (NEEK), on February 21, 2025. The film, which marks the debut of Dhanush’s nephew Pavish, is said to be a classic romantic story.

The movie features an ensemble cast, including Anikha Surendran, Priya Prakash Varrier, Mathew Thomas, Venkatesh Menon, and more in key roles, with GV Prakash Kumar composing the musical tracks and score. Additionally, actress Priyanka Arul Mohan makes a cameo appearance in a special dance number.

Interestingly, the project was initially announced in 2016, with Dhanush himself set to play the lead and Soundarya Rajinikanth directing. However, the movie failed to take off at the time, prompting Dhanush to take over the script and direct it himself.

Originally scheduled for release on February 7, the film's release date was pushed to February 21, 2025, to avoid a clash with Vidaamuyarchi, which had been postponed.

Director: Ashwath Marimuthu

After the much-beloved Love Today in 2022, actor-director Pradeep Ranganathan is set to hit the big screens this year with the film Dragon, marking his second venture as a lead actor.

The film, directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, is touted to be a romantic comedy-drama featuring the tale of Raghavan. After suffering a devastating breakup, he decides to discontinue his studies, enter the world of financial fraud, and rise through its ranks.

Similar to NEEK, the movie was initially set to release on February 14 but decided against it to avoid clashing with the Ajith Kumar starrer.
