A Birthday Gift for Fans

On July 27, 2025, just a day before his 42nd birthday, Tamil cinema’s multifaceted star Dhanush delighted fans with the release of the first single, "Enna Sugam," from his upcoming directorial venture, Idli Kadai. The soulful track, which Dhanush not only sang but also penned, has already captured hearts, amassing an impressive 2.2 million views within hours of its release. This melodic offering, shared via a lyrical video, has set the stage for what promises to be another milestone in Dhanush’s illustrious career.

A Heartfelt Melody with Nostalgic Charm

"Enna Sugam," meaning “What Happiness,” is a tender love ballad that blends rustic romance with modern cinematic flair. Composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar, marking his ninth collaboration with Dhanush, the song features the enchanting vocals of Dhanush alongside Shweta Mohan. The lyrics, crafted with Dhanush’s signature emotional depth, evoke nostalgia while celebrating the joy of love. Lines like “What is this joy I feel deep inside?” resonate with listeners, making the track an instant favorite. The lyrical video, featuring behind-the-scenes glimpses from Idli Kadai, adds a personal touch, drawing fans into the film’s rural, heartfelt narrative.

Idli Kadai: A Rural Drama with High Expectations

Idli Kadai is Dhanush’s fourth directorial project and his 52nd film as an actor. Set against the backdrop of Tamil Nadu’s countryside, the movie stars Dhanush as Sivanesan, the owner of a modest eatery, alongside Nithya Menen, with a strong supporting cast including Arun Vijay, Shalini Pandey, Sathyaraj, and Rajkiran. Produced by Wunderbar Films and Dawn Pictures, the film promises a blend of emotional storytelling and commercial appeal. Originally slated for an April release, its postponement to October 1, 2025, for a Diwali launch has only heightened anticipation, especially after the viral success of "Enna Sugam."

Dhanush’s Multifaceted Brilliance

Dhanush’s ability to wear multiple hats—actor, director, lyricist, and singer—shines through in this project. His soulful rendition of "Enna Sugam" and poignant lyrics reflect his deep connection to Tamil cinema’s emotional core. The song’s success echoes his earlier global hit, "Why This Kolaveri Di," proving his knack for creating music that resonates universally. Fans have taken to social media to celebrate, with posts noting the song’s 5.2 million views in 24 hours, making it one of Dhanush’s most successful single releases.

A Promising Start to the Festive Season

As Idli Kadai gears up for its October release, "Enna Sugam" has set the tone for a film that blends tradition, romance, and small-town charm. With a talented technical crew, including cinematographer Kiran Koushik and editor G.K. Prasanna, the movie is poised to deliver a visually and emotionally rich experience. Dhanush’s birthday release has not only thrilled fans but also built momentum for what could be another memorable chapter in his career.
