The most anticipated Tamil film releasing in February is director Aishwarya Rajinikanth's sports drama 'Lal Salaam'.
In January 2024, the Tamil industry saw two major hits — Captain Miller and Ayalaan.
Both films, released for Pongal, registered good business at the box office and collected over ₹50 crore.
Bluestar and Singapore Saloon, released two weeks after Pongal, also garnered a positive response.
The major Tamil film releasing in February is the sports drama Lal Salaam, directed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth.
A couple of small-budget Tamil movies, too, are all set to hit the silver screen.
Let’s take a quick look at the Tamil watchlist for February 2024:
Lal Salaam is a sports drama written and directed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth. She also wrote the screenplay and dialogue along with Harman H.
Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth are the lead actors. They appear as cricketers in the movie.
Superstar Rajinikanth has a special appearance in the film as Moideen Bhai, a gangster who supports cricket.
Thambi Ramaiah, Jeevitha Rajaseskhar, Thangadurai, and the World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev are a part of it.
Lal Salaam is set to hit the big screens on 9 February in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi.
The film is produced by Lyca Productions.
