Get ready, Tamil cinema fans — the blockbuster "Mersal" is back on the big screen! Mark your calendars for June 20, 2025, because the film is re-releasing across Tamil Nadu to celebrate the birthday of the one and only Vijay. Directed by Atlee, this 2017 action thriller originally stormed the box office, raking in a massive ₹260 crore globally. Its return is a nod to Vijay’s immense fan base who still can’t get enough of his triple treat on screen.
What makes "Mersal" so special? Vijay dons not one, not two, but three distinct roles — a doctor, a magician, and a village leader — showcasing his versatility and charisma all in one film. Alongside him, the stellar cast includes Samantha Ruth Prabhu and S.J. Suryah, while the magical tunes come courtesy of the legendary A.R. Rahman. Rahman’s musical genius has bagged five National Film Awards, making the film’s soundtrack an absolute treat for fans.
Despite some critics calling it a throwback to 1980s Tamil cinema with a formulaic plot, "Mersal" struck a chord with audiences thanks to its high-energy action, emotional beats, and social messaging wrapped in a commercial entertainer. This re-release is a perfect chance for fans old and new to experience the magic on the big screen — louder and prouder than ever!
So, whether you’re reliving the thrill or watching it for the first time, June 20 is the day to celebrate Vijay and his blockbuster hit "Mersal." Grab your tickets, gather your friends, and get ready for a cinematic ride that promises drama, music, and action — all in one power-packed package!
