Thalapathy Vijay once again proved his star power as the cult romantic drama Kushi returned to the big screen with a spectacular re-release. Directed by SJ Suryah and originally released in 2001, the film has now made a powerful comeback on September 25, 2025, across more than 200 theatres in Tamil Nadu. What followed next was nothing short of a grand festival, as fans celebrated the film’s return with unmatched energy and devotion.

A 24-Year-Old Classic That Still Feels Fresh

Kushi was released over two decades ago but continues to hold a special place in the hearts of audiences. Starring Vijay and Jyothika in the lead alongside Vivek, Mumtaz, and Vijayakumar, the film blended romance, comedy, and music into a package that defined an era of Tamil cinema. The timeless story and soulful soundtrack made Kushi an instant classic when it hit theatres back in 2001.

Even today, the film’s emotional core, youthful love story, and vibrant characters feel just as fresh. The re-release has only reaffirmed the lasting impact of Vijay’s charisma and SJ Suryah’s storytelling, proving that Kushi is more than just a film – it’s a memory revisited with the same joy and excitement.

Fans Celebrate Like Never Before

Despite a weekday release, the re-release created a frenzy among Thalapathy fans. From Chennai to Karnataka, audiences turned movie halls into celebration zones. Videos of fans dancing inside theatres to the film’s iconic songs have gone viral, turning social media into a sea of joyous moments. The cheers that erupted for even the smallest of Vijay’s scenes show the admiration fans still hold for his youthful charm in Kushi.

In Chennai, many theatres were decorated and welcomed fans in true festival style. Loud cheers, claps at dialogues, and communal viewing brought the energy of a new release. It wasn’t just about revisiting a film but celebrating the larger-than-life aura of Thalapathy on screen.

Legacy of Thalapathy Vijay and Kushi’s Impact

The film’s grand reception is not only a win for fans but also a proud moment for the producers and director SJ Suryah, as their work continues to resonate even after 24 years. Much like the worldwide success of Ghilli’s re-release last year, Kushi has joined the list of timeless classics that revive the magic of cinema across generations.

For Vijay, the celebrations around Kushi highlight his enduring influence and the unique bond he shares with his fans. His massive fan base has once again proven that the actor’s appeal extends beyond generations, with both old admirers and new audiences embracing the re-release with equal passion.

The re-release of Kushi has reignited nostalgia while showcasing Thalapathy Vijay’s unwavering star power. From packed theatres and viral celebrations to reaffirming the film’s evergreen place in Tamil cinema, Kushi has become more than a re-run—it’s a cultural revival.

As fans cheer, clap, and dance like it’s 2001 all over again, one thing is clear: Thalapathy Vijay’s legacy is not just alive; it is thriving stronger than ever.
