Dhanush’s much-awaited film Idli Kadai has finally hit theatres worldwide today, October 1, 2025. Releasing during the festive season, the film is off to a strong start thanks to massive pre-bookings, especially in Tamil Nadu. With Dhanush not just acting but also writing, directing, and co-producing the film under his banner Wunderbar Films in collaboration with Dawn Pictures, Idli Kadai is being positioned as one of the biggest multi-language releases of the year.

Netizens review Idli Kadai
Fans went for first day first show and social media has been buzzing with their reactions and the early reviews are mixed. Some audience members called it a heart warming family entertainer, praising the emotional depth in the second half. One fan described it as a “perfect family film” that delivered both laughs and emotional moments.




Others, however, were less impressed, with some criticising the film’s screenplay and calling it underwhelming. A few viewers felt the pacing was off, and pointed out that certain performances didn’t quite land. The film seems to be evoking strong opinions on both sides, which has only added to the online chatter.



Some of the users took to X (formerly called Twitter) and praised the film. Calling the first half 'super entertaining and emotional', they wrote scenes like the calf connection and the nostalgic return of father Sivanesan’s idli flavour are said to be especially moving. Dhanush, who directed the film, is being praised for his finesse and emotional grip in every frame. GV Prakash’s music, particularly the track Yen Paatan Saami Varum in both its melody and divine rock versions, is also being highlighted for enhancing the cinematic experience.



More about Idli Kadai
The film boasts a powerhouse cast featuring Dhanush, Arun Vijay, Nithya Menen, Prakash Raj, Sathyaraj, Shalini Pandey, and Rajkiran. Dhanush plays a passionate village-based culinarian, taking on a role that combines both emotion and grit. Arun Vijay appears as the antagonist, a move that has intrigued fans given his return to a negative role. The character dynamics between the hero and villain are said to be one of the film’s highlights.

Idli Kadai has been released in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi simultaneously, giving it a wider reach across the Indian market. It’s being hailed as one of the top pan-India openers for a Tamil film this year. The festive timing and the buzz from Dhanush’s fanbase have worked in the film’s favour, helping it draw large crowds for the first-day-first-show screenings.


The music, composed by GV Prakash Kumar, has played a major role in building pre-release excitement. The songs have been trending across platforms and were already topping charts before the film’s release. Critics and fans have appreciated how the soundtrack complements the film’s rural setting and emotional storyline.

Despite the divided opinions, Idli Kadai has made a strong entry into cinemas with all the right ingredients, a star actor-director, strong cast, emotional plot, and festive timing. Whether it turns out to be a blockbuster or faces challenges in the coming days will depend on word-of-mouth and its performance over the weekend.
