Ajith Kumar’s Valimai to release on Pongal 2022

Ajith Kumar starrer Valimai is one of the most awaited upcoming Tamil films. Fans of Kumar were eagerly waiting to know when the movie will hit the big screens.

Now, finally, producer Boney Kapoor has announced that the movie will release on Pongal 2022 (14th January). He tweeted, “Happy to announce that #Valimai will hit the screens on Pongal 2022. #ValimaiFromPongal #ValimaiPongal #Valimai #Ajithkumar #HVinoth @BayViewProjOffl @ZeeStudios_ @punitgoenka @SureshChandraa #NiravShah @thisisysr @humasqureshi @ActorKartikeya @RajAyyappamv @bani_j @iYogiBabu.”


Directed by H Vinoth, the movie also stars Huma Qureshi, Kartikeya Gummakonda, Bani J, and Yogi Babu.

Valimai will be Ajith Kumar, Boney Kapoor, and H Vinoth’s second collaboration. The trio had earlier teamed up for the 2019 release Nerkonda Paarvai which was the Tamil remake of the Hindi film Pink. The movie was a blockbuster at the box office.

The expectations from Valimai are quite high. A few weeks ago, the first song of the movie titled Naanga Vera Maari was released, and it has received a great response.

On Tuesday (21), as Kartikeya Gummakonda celebrated his birthday, the makers of Valimai had unveiled his first look poster. Kapoor had tweeted, “Team #Valimai wishes a very Happy Birthday to talented @ActorKartikeya . Stay blessed always.”

Valimai will be Huma Qureshi’s second Tamil film. She had earlier featured in the Tamil movie Kaala (2018) which starred Rajinikanth in the lead role.

Two Sinners marks Samir Zaidi’s striking directorial debut

Samir Zaidi, director of 'Two Sinners', emerges as a powerful new voice in Indian film

Indian cinema has a long tradition of discovering new storytellers in unexpected places, and one recent voice that has attracted quiet, steady attention is Samir Zaidi. His debut short film Two Sinners has been travelling across international festivals, earning strong praise for its emotional depth and moral complexity. But what makes Zaidi’s trajectory especially compelling is how organically it has unfolded — grounded not in film school training, but in lived observation, patient apprenticeships and a deep belief in the poetry of everyday life.

Zaidi’s relationship with creativity began well before he ever stepped onto a set. “As a child, I was fascinated by small, fleeting things — the way people spoke, the silences between arguments, the patterns of light on the walls,” he reflects. He didn’t yet have the vocabulary for what he was absorbing, but the instinct was already in place. At 13, he turned to poetry, sensing that the act of shaping emotions into words offered a kind of clarity he couldn’t find elsewhere. “I realised creativity wasn’t something external I had to chase; it was a way of processing the world,” he says. “Whether it was writing or filmmaking, it came from the same impulse: to make sense of what I didn’t fully understand.”
