Nivin Pauly's 'Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai' to hit screens on October 1
Chennai, July 21
The makers of acclaimed Tamil film director Ram's eagerly-awaited 'Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai', featuring actors Nivin Pauly, Soori and Anjali in the lead, have now announced that the film will finally hit screens on October 1 this year.
Taking to his X timeline, producer Suresh Kamatchi said, "Director Ram's #YezhuKadalYezhuMalai Release Date Announcement Teaser is OUT NOW. Written and Directed By #DirectorRam. Starring @NivinOfficial @yoursanjali @sooriofficial. Produced by @vhouseofficial."
The release date announcement teaser shows Nivin Pauly (an immortal man) feeding biscuit to a mother rat in a train. Soori, who is presented as a "good man", is seen lamenting that the biscuits he had bought in Dubai for his son were being fed to a rat.
Nivin Pauly then sets the mother rat down which then makes its way to Soori, who makes no effort to give way to the rat to pass. Eventually, he does give way when Nivin Pauly signals him to.
The teaser then shows Nivin Pauly and Anjali dressed as those in an ancient civilisation. An elephant greets them and makes its way into the jungle as director Ram's voice is heard saying, "Be it a rat or an elephant, be it a tree or grass, everything is life. They are the souls of our ancestors. With their embrace, we arrive on October 1."
A title motion poster that the makers released in 2022 had a tagline that said, "When you fall in love, not just your heart, everythign including your body and soul will fly."
For the unaware, one of Tamil cinema's most respected directors, Ram, started work on this film in Rameshwaram's Dhanushkodi in 2021 and completed shooting in April 2022. From then, the film has been awaiting a release date.
The film has visuals by cinematographer Ekhambharam and music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

Ram's films always have that poetic touch. 'Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai' seems like a deep spiritual journey. Nivin Pauly as an immortal man—intriguing! But I hope the pacing is better than some of Ram's earlier works. Still, excited to see Anjali and Soori too! ✨
That tagline—"When you fall in love, not just your heart, everything including your body and soul will fly"—gives me goosebumps. Ram sir doesn't make movies, he creates experiences. The Dhanushkodi location shooting must have been breathtaking. Eagerly waiting! 🌊🌄
I'm not familiar with Ram's work, but this teaser description sounds fascinating. The idea that every creature—rat, elephant, tree—is a soul of our ancestors is so profound. Indian cinema has such unique storytelling. Will definitely check this out when it releases! 🐀🐘
Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. Ram's films are always slow and artsy. The teaser seems interesting but I hope there's a proper story too, not just philosophy. Yuvan's music is always a plus though! Let's see if this works commercially or stays niche. 🤔
The way Ram connects everyday moments (like feeding biscuits to a rat) with cosmic philosophy is what makes him special. 'Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai' means 'Seven Seas, Seven Mountains'—that's such a powerful title. This could be a masterpiece if executed well. Fingers crossed! 🌌
