Diwali 2025 just got a major cinematic upgrade! Rana Daggubati and Dulquer Salmaan are teaming up to set theatres ablaze with their upcoming bilingual thriller Kaantha, officially hitting screens worldwide on November 14, 2025. The announcement, made via a gripping motion poster shared by Rana, came wrapped in festive spirit and cinematic flair: "Diwali just got a whole lot more explosive!" — and by the looks of it, he’s not kidding.
Set in the evocative world of 1950s Madras, Kaantha promises an atmospheric blend of suspense, drama, and vintage noir. The motion poster dropped this weekend features haunting close-ups of the ensemble cast, with Dulquer Salmaan front and center as a brooding figure steeped in mystery. Sharing the frame is debutante Bhagyashri Borse, whose presence hints at high-stakes emotional intensity. Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, the film looks ready to peel back layers of intrigue with every frame.
Backed by Spirit Media and Dulquer’s Wayfarer Films, Kaantha is a collaboration that’s already generating buzz, not just for its star power but also for its storytelling ambition. The film is described as a period thriller focusing on “intertwined lives” — and if the sleek, shadow-soaked visuals of the motion poster are anything to go by, it’s diving deep into both heart and history.
While plot details are still tightly under wraps, what’s clear is that Kaantha is positioning itself as one of the season's most stylish and story-driven offerings. Think emotional depth, tangled relationships, and the kind of morally grey characters that stay with you long after the credits roll. With Rana Daggubati co-producing and a top-tier technical crew in place — including cinematography by Jom Varghese and music from an impressive team — the film’s got quality stamped all over it.
So, this Diwali, in between the sweets and sparklers, make room for suspense and cinematic fireworks. With Kaantha releasing November 14, prepare for a celebration at the theatres that might leave you breathless — in the best way possible.
