Tamil films have become well-known for their amazing narratives that captivate viewers from start to finish. The Tamil cinema industry, together with its skilled filmmakers, has produced several content-driven stories in recent years that have garnered international attention. If asked to provide examples, many stories would come to mind but if we talk about a heartwarming love story with brilliant performances. One such film is 96, starring Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha Krishnan.
The film was released in 2018 with not much expectations as it was a grounded movie compared to larger-than-life tales typical of Tamil cinema, but the movie turned out to be a considerable success at the box office. 96 narrates the love story of the protagonists right from school to middle age and the audience found it very relatable. The movie also did very well with Malayalam audiences, who have a knack for content-driven cinema and made Vijay Sethupathi a known name in Kerala.
96 will certainly be one of the films that you would want to rewatch while celebrating Valentine’s Day, the day of love. It is available for streaming on OTT but nothing beats catching your favourite classic on the big screen once again. And looks like this Valentine’s Day, you will have the option of doing so. As per film critic Sreedhar Pillai, 96 is re-releasing in theatres on the special occasion of Valentine’s Day in Kamala Cinemas in Chennai. Sreedhar gave away this information on his X (formerly Twitter) account.
The plot of the 2018 romance drama revolves around two high school sweethearts from the class of 1996 (hence the name) who cross paths 22 years after they split, during a reunion. When it was released, the C Premkumar-directed movie became an enormous hit, receiving accolades for its superb performances. From time to time since the release, there are reports about a sequel to 96 but no official announcement has been made.
