7 South Indian Films Hitting Theatres This Week Are an Absolute Treat

If you thought South Indian cinema was going to slow down after Peddi‘s blockbuster opening, think again. This week delivers seven fresh theatrical releases spanning Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam — covering everything from experimental musicals and forbidden romance to black magic thrillers and Carnatic soul. Here’s your complete guide.

All 7 South Films Releasing This Week — Overview

1. Sing Geetham (Telugu) — June 11

The most audacious film of the week, hands down. Veteran director Singeetam Srinivasa Rao — with Nag Ashwin co-producing — returns with a bold experimental vision: every single line of dialogue in this film is delivered as a song, creating a continuous, unbroken musical narrative. The story centres on Prathap, an outsider who arrives in a timeless village and gets caught between the pull of development and the weight of age-old traditions. For lovers of cinema that dares to try something different, this is essential viewing.

2. Habeebi (Tamil) — June 12

A period romantic drama set in the conservative neighborhoods of southern Tamil Nadu, Habeebi traces a forbidden love between two young people and the deep community fractures it triggers. Director Meera Kathiravan handles what sounds like an emotionally charged, socially rooted story with obvious sensitivity.

3. Uttara (Kannada) — June 12

A grounded domestic drama that doesn’t flinch from uncomfortable territory. Truck driver Bharat discovers his wife Sati is involved with another man, files for divorce — and finds the legal outcome favours her with alimony. Director Dinesh Baboo takes on a story about marital breakdown and its messy, unglamorous aftermath.

4. Charukesi (Tamil) — June 12

The most emotionally rich premise of the week. A legendary Carnatic singer begins losing his memories to Alzheimer’s — and as his world fades, buried family secrets and a fractured bond with his son are forced into the open. In the end, music becomes the last bridge between them. Director Suresh Krissna brings together a veteran cast including Sathyaraj and Suhasini Maniratnam for what looks like a deeply moving family drama.

5. Police Complaint (Telugu) — June 12

A pregnant woman dies during a suspected black magic ritual, and a determined officer reopens a long-buried case. As seemingly disconnected events begin to converge, the darkness beneath the surface refuses to stay hidden. Naveen Chandra and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar lead this suspense-heavy crime thriller that promises plenty of twists.

6. Graamaayana (Kannada) — June 11

Set against an earthy, rustic rural backdrop, Graamaayana follows Seena — nicknamed “Sixth Sense” for his razor-sharp instincts — as he navigates village life, local conflicts, and the dynamics that hold communities together and pull them apart. Vinay Rajkumar leads in what looks like a grounded, culturally rich entertainer.

7. Varavu (Malayalam) — June 12

The most intriguing slow-burn of the week. One incident in a hillside town changes many lives. Years later, the past resurfaces — and one man returns to reclaim what was taken from him. What starts as personal becomes something far larger: a full reckoning that will determine the town’s fate. Director Shaji Kailas brings Joju George and Arjun Ashokan together in a film that promises layered tension and emotional weight.
