South Indian Films in Brief

1. Vaazha II: Biopic of a Billion Bros (Malayalam) — The sequel to the beloved Vaazha returns with four misfit friends navigating adulthood, social pressure, and self-discovery. With the same heartful energy as the original but with the boys now grown up, this is one of the most anticipated Malayalam releases of the week. Starring Hashir H, Alan Bin Siraj, Ajin Joy, and Vinayak V, it runs at 2 hours 43 minutes — so settle in for a full emotional ride.

2. Naanu Karunakara (Kannada) — A deeply personal film directed by and starring Aryan Tejas, this family comedy drama follows an assistant director in Sandalwood struggling with pride and financial hardship, all while trying to fulfil his young son’s simple wish for a toy car. It’s a sweet, grounded story about dreams and dignity.

3. Leader (Tamil) — Saravanan leads this gritty action thriller about an ordinary man who gets caught between the underworld and law enforcement. As danger closes in from both sides, survival becomes the only priority. With a cast that includes Payal Rajput, Andrea Jeremiah, and Shaam, this one promises to keep you on the edge of your seat.

4. Biker (Telugu) — Sharwanand plays Vicky, a driven racer with a complicated relationship with his strict father. With his career on the line and personal pressures mounting, Biker blends high-octane racing sequences with genuine emotional depth. Rajasekhar and Malavika Nair co-star in this 2 hour 42 minute sports drama.

5. Kaalidas 2 (Tamil) — Officer Kaalidas returns to face a new wave of mysterious crimes unleashed by a dangerous antagonist named Stephen. The sequel doubles down on suspense and psychological tension, building on the original’s crime thriller framework with a fresh, deadly cat-and-mouse game.

6. Carmeni Selvam (Tamil) — Samuthirakani stars in this family drama about a content, peace-loving man who becomes consumed by the desire to earn more money to secure his family’s future. The film quietly but powerfully explores what financial ambition costs a person — and whether security is truly worth any price. Gautham Vasudev Menon also features in the cast.

7. Raakaasa (Telugu) — An NRI returns to his village after a decade and unknowingly wakes up an ancient supernatural force rooted in local folklore. Sangeeth Shobhan leads this blend of myth, adventure, and humour that promises to be one of the more unique Telugu outings of the week.

8. Suvarna (Telugu) — A young woman addicted to social media reels dies during a dangerous online challenge and returns as a vengeful spirit, possessing another girl to continue her obsession. A man must battle both love and dark supernatural forces to save her. This romantic horror brings a very 21st-century angle to the genre.

9. Maragathamalai (Tamil) — A fantasy drama rooted in historical settings, this one leans into mysticism and adventure with a unique storyline that stands apart from typical genre fare.
