Tamil watchlist for April 2024. (X)
Thanks to the Lok Sabha elections, April 2024 will be a dull month for the Tamil industry.
There will be no films of star heroes. As a result, the theatres in Tamil Nadu will mostly screen small films.
Vikram’s Thangalaan and Dhanush’s Raayan were supposed to release in April, but they have been postponed due to the upcoming elections.
Vishal’s Rathnam is the only high-profile movie releasing in April. GV Prakash Kumar, surprisingly, has two releases in April 2024—Kalvan and Dear.
On that note, let’s check the Tamil watchlist for April 2024:
Vishal’s Rathnam is the only biggie to entertain the audience in April. However, it won’t be released during the festival season and instead will hit the cinema halls on 26 April, after the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Tamil Nadu.
This is the third time Vishal and director Hari are working together after their successful films Thamirabharani (2007) and Poojai (2014).
Rathnam has Priya Bhavani Shankar as the female lead. It also features Gautham Menon, Samuthirakani, and Yogi Babu in pivotal roles.
After the roaring success of Mark Antony, Vishal has his hopes high on this film.
The makers recently unveiled the second single track, a melody by Devi Sri Prasad.
Save the date for our biggie this summer 🔥#Rathnam hits the screens on the 26th of April 2024. In Tamil and Telugu.
A film by #Hari. Coming to theatres, summer 2024.

GV Prakash’s first movie to release in April is Dear. He is set to make wonders with his back-to-back releases and will be busy with the promotions of the flicks.
Dear will be released in theatres on 12 April, a week before Ramzan. If the response to the movie is good, it will surely get a good audience next week, which coincides with the festive season.
Dear is written and directed by Anand Ravichandran. It features GV Prakash Kumar and Aishwarya Rajesh in the main roles.
The title was reportedly derived from the character of the main stars.
Dear is a romantic comedy and also stars Kaali Venkat, Ilavarasu, Rohini, Thalaivasal Vijay, Geetha Kailasam, and Nandini.
Jagadeesh Sundaramurthy is the cinematographer and GV Prakash Kumar is the music director.
It is produced by Varun Tripuraneni, Abhishek Ramisetty, and G Pruthviraj of Nutmeg Productions.
Jagadeesh Sundramurthy and Rukesh are the editors.
