Thaai Kizhavi: Movie Overview
Thai Kishavi is an upcoming Tamil film. The story revolves around a 75-year-old woman and her family living in Kadupatti, Usilampatti village. The film is scheduled to release on February 27, 2026.
Jio Hotstar has acquired the online streaming rights of the film.
A matriarch who’s a nightmare for her village is on her deathbed prompting celebrations all around, including in her own sons and son-in-law, and prayers for her death. But when they learn that she has gold stashed somewhere, it sets off desperate attempts by her sons to bring her back from the brink of death. With Thaai Kizhavi, debutant Sivakumar Murugesan spins an entertaining film that’s part rural farce and part women empowerment drama. In Radikaa Sarathkumar, he gets an actress of immense stature to effectively portray the badass-ness of his protagonist, and the veteran turns in a mass-y, whistle-worthy performance that makes us feel her presence in every scene despite the character’s minimal screen time and see the steely woman behind the prosthetics. The supporting cast is equally terrific all around, and play the perfect second fiddle. The director’s rooted storytelling is filled with situational humour, manufactured changes of heart and superb use of Kamal Haasan songs, spanning eras from MSV to Ilaiyaraaja, AR Rahman and even Shankar Ehsaan Loy.
