Keerthy Suresh’s Raghu Thatha

Headlined by Keerthy Suresh, the Tamil drama is set in the 1980s and revolves around patriarchy and the protagonist’s fight against the imposition of the Hindi language. Keerthy Suresh’s character, Kayalvizhi, is an upper-division clerk who is both a feminist and an anti-Hindi activist. This political satire also marks Kannada production house Hombale Films' first Tamil project.

In addition to Keerthy Suresh, the film features MS Bhaskar, Devadarshini, Ravindra Vijay, Anandsami, and Rajesh Balakrishnan in key roles. Sean Roldan composed the music, while Yamini Yagnamurthy handled the cinematography. Editing was done by TS Suresh.

Theatrical reception of Raghu Thatha

Raghu Thatha was released on Independence Day, August 15, 2024, clashing with the Vikram-starrer Thangalaan and Demonte Colony 2 at the Tamil box office. Upon its release, the film received mixed reviews. While Keerthy Suresh’s lively performance was praised, the screenplay was criticized for being sluggish. The film’s box office performance was further impacted by the competition from successful films like Thangalaan and Demonte Colony 2, leading to average business. The film will now be available for OTT audiences soon.
