Big Screen, Bigger Choices: 7 South Indian Films Hitting Theaters This Week

Four languages, seven genres, one very busy weekend at the movies. From Dulquer Salmaan’s revenge-fueled action thriller to GV Prakash’s spine-chilling romance, South Indian cinema is stacking theaters with something for every mood this week.

7 South Indian Films Lineup

1. I’m Game

Dulquer Salmaan headlines this Malayalam action thriller as Dan John, a man who’s built his easygoing life around taking shortcuts and making quick money. Everything changes when he receives a hand transplant, and the new hand appears to carry a will of its own — one fixated on avenging its previous owner. Directed by Nahas Hidayath, the film also stars Antony Varghese Pepe and Kathir.

2. Ramba Oorvasi Menaka

This Telugu fantasy comedy follows Suri, an ordinary man from Rajahmundry who has spent 15 years following his father’s bizarre instructions, all in hopes of summoning three legendary celestial beauties into his life. When Rambha, Urvashi, and Menaka actually arrive on Earth, stripped of their powers, Suri’s quiet life spirals into chaos, caught between an furious girlfriend and a mother’s health scare. Allari Naresh leads the cast under director Chandra Mohan Chintada.

3. Delivery Boy

A Tamil action drama centered on a young food delivery rider chasing a government job while trying to fund his mother’s critical medical treatment. Desperate, he steals from a stranger — only to discover months later that the same person has been wrongly accused of a serious crime. Haunted by guilt, he risks everything to make things right. Leo Sivakumar stars alongside Radikaa Sarathkumar under director Nani Darla.

4. Dharmasthala Niyojakavargam

This Telugu action drama follows Eeswaraiah, a humble tea-stall owner shattered by the loss of his principled son Bhadri, who died standing up against illegal activity. Pushed forward by his son’s fearless mentor Arundhati, Eeswaraiah finds the courage to fight back, entering a high-stakes confrontation against powerful forces to honor his son’s legacy. Suman leads the film, directed by Jai Jnana Prabha Thota.

5. Romanchakam

A Telugu romantic comedy about Anvesh, an engineering graduate who builds a dating app to prove his entrepreneurial chops — only to fail spectacularly at winning over the one woman he actually loves, who keeps rejecting and blocking him. As his startup crumbles and money troubles pile up, he stumbles into one misadventure after another. Sumanth Prabhas and Ananthika Sanilkumar star, directed by Venu Gopal Reddy.

6. Immortal

GV Prakash Kumar headlines this Tamil romantic horror as Mahi, a carefree apartment-hunter who moves in with the mysterious and alluring Sindhu. His attraction quickly curdles into obsession, blurring fantasy and reality, and things take a darker turn when a terrifying supernatural force starts hunting him inside the apartment. As Mahi digs deeper, he uncovers Sindhu’s centuries-old secret of immortality and must confront both his own unraveling mind and an ancient threat. Kayadu Lohar co-stars, with Mariyappan Chinna directing.

7. Life Ellind Ellige

This Kannada comedy drama follows three lifelong friends with wildly different personalities as they set off on a road trip that turns out to be both hilarious and emotionally revealing, testing and ultimately redefining their bond. Lenin and Krish lead the cast, directed by Arjun Shivan.
