No more early morning shows for big-ticket Tamil films even outside TN
Chennai: There will be no more 4.30am release of Tamil films even outside the state. Tamil Nadu stopped early morning release of big budget films in 2023 when a fan died in a stampede at 'Thunivu' screening. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Yet, producers continued to have releases at 4.30am in other states, while keeping the 9am show as the first show within Tamil Nadu. Now, big-ticket films, including Kamal Hassan's ;Thug Life;, will only hit screens from 9am onwards. Producers blame poor security in neighbouring states, rising theatre vandalism, low booking commissions for theatres, and paid reviews before release, affecting the bookings adversely. Even Ajith's Good Badly Ugly and Suriya's Retro had only 9 am releases. S R Prabhu, producer with Dream Warrior Pictures, said early morning shows are getting regulated in all states. "It's a challenge to secure police security for such early shows in other states. Fans come in craze, and mishaps tend to happen. So, many prefer not to have such shows early in the day," he said. Prabhu mentioned that paid influencers and YouTube reviewers who attend such shows give exaggerated reviews, both positive and negative, for reach. "So, even before a movie is released, it affects the booking. We just want people to directly view the show instead of getting influenced by such reviews," he said. Thiruppur Kumaran, representing Tamil Nadu Theater and Multiplex Owners Association, said fans come drunk and end up vandalising the seats and screens. "We cannot control the frenzy on such occasions. It's better to have morning shows," he said. People from Coimbatore mostly go to Kerala to watch, while those in Krishnagiri go to Bengaluru. Fans from Chennai go to Nagari in Andhra Pradesh to catch early shows. Prabhu also added that when fan clubs book in bulk, theatres don't get booking commissions.

Actor Siddharth Nigam's mother, Vibha Nigam, recently recalled how her son was replaced by Aaman Devgan in 'Azaad' after auditioning for the film.

I really loved the script."advertisement"But suddenly, after two years, Siddharth showed me the poster of 'Azaad' and said, 'Mum, this has been released, and these are the people in the film.' Then we saw that the film starred Ajay Devgn's nephew and Rasha. For the first time in my life, I felt bad. When things like this happen, as a mother, it hurts. Then I realised both of them were star kids, and that made all the difference," she added. Siddharth, however, stated that he doesn't want to blame anyone, as such is the nature of business in the film industry. He said, "There's no one to blame. This is the business industry, so there's no point in asking why they did it — they must have had their own reasons. It's more of a personal realisation and pain. You get your hopes up thinking something might work out. We wait for an entire year, and then we see the teaser. So after watching it, we just thought, 'Oh, okay. Let's move on.'"advertisementApart from Aaman, 'Azaad' featured Raveena Tandon's daughter Rasha Thadani, who also made her film debut.

Tourist Family Review: Sasikumar's comedy-drama is beautiful tale of hope and love that feels like a warm hug
Sasikumar and Simran starrer feel-good comedy drama film Tourist Family had hit the theaters in India on April 29, 2025. After more than a month of its release, the movie is available for streaming on JioHotstar from June 2, 2025. If you're planning to watch the Tourist Family on OTT, here's the Pinkvilla review for the comedy drama. The Plot: Tourist Family features the story of an Eelam Tamil family of four, who decide to seek refuge in India after the Sri Lankan economic crisis, hoping for a better future. The family, led by Dharmadas, his wife Vanathi, and their two sons, Nithushan and Murali, makes its way to Vanathi's brother, Prakash, who lives in Tamil Nadu. To mask their identities as Sri Lankans, they are introduced in the locality as Malayalees. Now, with an impending conflict likely to come their way, the film focuses on the light-hearted and humorous events that take place with their neighbors. The Good: The Tourist Family is a refreshing departure from the trends of blazing guns and violent action. The feel-good entertainer presents itself wrapped in a pure context as the characters are relatable and executed with utmost clarity. As each character presented in the world of Tourist Family offers its own nuances, the events that unfold around them inspire hope in humanity. The film is not a run-of-the-mill, preachy venture but a carefully curated venture of hopes and dreams. With Abhishan Jeevinth crafting and even performing a role in the film, the debutant director managed to unveil his craft with precision, while there were drawbacks from a writing perspective. Another notable aspect of this film is Sean Roldan's musical tracks and background scores, which perfectly evoke every scene. The movie, along with its soundtrack, once again highlights how the musician remains underrated in his work. Moreover, Aravind Viswanathan and Barath Vikraman, the cinematographer and editor of the film, respectively, also did a good job. Especially the editor, who kept the film close to 2 hours long in runtime, not deviating from the core elements. The Bad: Despite being close to a clean-cut blockbuster, Tourist Family does falter with its writing at points. With the events and the conflict somewhat being served on a silver platter to the characters, the movie stags behind in making it probable to happen. However, throughout the entirety of the venture, it does not feel like a big deal, but rather a natural progression in the hopeful world the makers have created. The Performances: Sasikumar has undoubtedly shone bright with his role as Dharmadas in the film. The actor, with his effortless ability to pull off a variety of roles throughout his filmography, once again proves his worth with this movie. Simran, as his wife, brings a creative balance to her performance, standing firm in her character and deeply embodying the nuance and chemistry with her co-star. Moreover, Mithun Jai Shankar delivers another outstanding performance alongside Kamlaesh Jagan, with the child actor effortlessly stealing the spotlight in a single moment. Watch the trailer of the Tourist Family The Verdict The Tourist Family is a rare phenomenon in recent Tamil cinema that has successfully executed a venture that is both entertaining and humorous to watch. If you're a fan of feel-good or slice-of-life ventures, then this is surely your cup of tea.
