Top Tamil Movies of February: 'With Love' Leads Box Office In February, the Tamil film industry witnessed a mix of performances, with a few movies standing out despite the overall subdued box office. "With Love" emerged as the highest-grossing film of the month, followed by "Mother-in-Law" and "My Lord." Here's a breakdown of the top five films: With Love Directed by Sivakarthikeyan, this film released on February 6 and became the highest-grossing movie of the month. It earned an impressive Rs 38.19 crore globally, thanks to its emotional storytelling and strong audience engagement. The film stars Abhishek Sivakumar in the lead role, with Anaswara Rajan as the female lead. Mother-in-Law This film, released on February 27, was a surprise hit for theater owners.

The Girl Released on February 13, this film faced mixed reactions from critics and audiences. Directed by Raju Murugan, it earned Rs 2.91 crore globally, securing the fourth position. The Girl Wait, there seems to be a repetition in the original text. Let me clarify: The fifth film mentioned is "The Girl," which earned Rs 2.91 crore globally, but it's listed twice. The correct order should be: With Love (Rs 38.19 crore) Mother-in-Law (Rs 18.6 crore) My Lord (Rs 2.91 crore) The Girl (Rs 2.91 crore) The Girl (Rs 2.91 crore) The month saw a decline in overall box office numbers, with most films struggling to meet expectations.#with_love #sivakarthikeyan #mother_in_law #my_lord #the_girl
‘Thaai Kizhavi’ movie review: Radikaa Sarathkumar’s masala comedy of gold standards signals a commanding new filmmaking voice Radikaa Sarathkumar’s film, produced by Sivakarthikeyan, is a riotous rural comedy that blends soul, style, and subversion, marking Sivakumar Murugesan as a formidable new force in Tamil mainstream cinema. The debut film of the director, Thaai Kizhavi, is described as a masterclass in balancing humor, emotional depth, and progressive themes, offering a fresh perspective to the genre. The story revolves around Pavunuthaayi, an elderly woman in Karumathur, whose strict adherence to tradition and authority over her family sets the stage for a series of comedic and heartfelt events. Her sons, each with their own quirks and flaws, return to their hometown not out of concern for their ailing mother but because she has vowed to leave them no inheritance until her death. The narrative takes an unexpected turn when the sons discover that their mother has secretly hidden 160 sovereigns of gold, sparking a chaotic quest to locate it. Sivakumar Murugesan’s direction is praised for its seamless integration of humor and sincerity. The film’s opening introduces Pavunuthaayi as a figure of both reverence and ridicule, her weekly trips to Madurai for gold transactions becoming a source of town gossip. Her daughter Suruli, overshadowed by her mother’s dominance, is portrayed with subtle nuance, while the sons’ comedic misadventures—ranging from Vijayan’s obsession with trivial monetary gains to Uppiliyan’s Kamal Haasan fandom—add layers of absurdity. The film’s strength lies in its ability to balance slapstick humor with moments of genuine emotional resonance, such as the strained relationships between the characters and their evolving dynamics.#madurai #radikaa_sarathkumar #sivakarthikeyan #sivakumar_murugesan #karumathur
