The Tamil box-office is gearing up for the grand celebration of Diwali releases with Amaran, Brother and Bloody Beggar tomorrow i.e. October 31, 2024. Unlike other years, Diwali 2024 Tamil movie releases truly are a mix of different genres, ranging from a biopic war film to a family oriented comedy drama, and a black comedy thriller.  

A summary of what to expect from each of the Tamil Diwali releases this year:

1. Amaran (Sivakarthikeyan, Sai Pallavi)

A biopic drama based on the life of late Indian army major Mukund Varadarajan, Amaran looks the most promising among the Diwali 2024 releases in Tamil. From the production value to a story that lures the audience in, Amaran has struck all the right chords from the get go. Amaran is the first choice for the Tamil audience this Diwali, and it comes promising of a story filled with action and emotions. 

Amaran is also viewed as a stepping stone in lead actor Sivakarthikeyan's career, and this is reflected in Amaran advance sales and bookings, in Tamil Nadu, USA, among other regions. 

2. Bloody Beggar (Kavin, Redin Kingsley)

Going by the hype surrounding the Diwali film releases in Tamil, actor Kavin starrer Bloody Beggar comes across as a highly preferred movie after Amaran this October 31 (Thursday). Director Nelson Dilipkumar's debut production is in the taste of the new generation audience, and blends dark humour with a little bit of mystery. 

Be it debutant Sivabalan Muthukumar's making, lead role being a beggar, the dark comedy genre in itself, or music composer Jen Martin's music, everything is new and experimental about Bloody Beggar. How it fares with two big competitors, is something to wait and watch. 

3. Brother (Jayam Ravi, Priyanka Mohan)

Brother is a traditional festival mode movie. A fun entertainer with action, comedy, romance, sentiment, the movie comes across as a template comedy drama this Diwali 2024. These genre of movies end up as crowd pullers when released during holidays. That is given the audience are satisfied even nominally.

In addition, the Tamil audience get to see Jayam Ravi dancing, and Harris Jayaraj's music after a long gap.

All three Tamil Diwali releases, Amaran, Bloody Beggar, and Brother look promising for their respective target audience. The movies' average runtime too doesn't exceed 2 hours, and 20 minutes which is a plus. Overall, it looks like theaters in Tamil Nadu are in for an increased footfalls this festive season.
