Kushi re-release date announced: Vijay’s 2000 blockbuster to hit screens again

One of the most iconic romantic dramas of the early 2000s, Kushi, starring Vijay and Jyothika and directed by SJ Suryah, is all set to return to the big screens from September 25th. Originally released in 2000, the film was a cultural phenomenon that cemented Vijay’s status as a rising superstar and showcased SJ Suryah’s flair for blending romance, humor, and emotion with commercial sensibilities.

The film follows the love-hate relationship between Shiva (Vijay) and Jennifer (Jyothika), two college students whose egos constantly clash, even as their affection for each other slowly grows. The chemistry between the lead pair was electric and contributed heavily to the film’s massive success.

Everything about Kushi was a hit: from Deva’s evergreen soundtrack to Vivek’s hilarious comedy tracks, and the emotionally layered storytelling that resonated with youth and family audiences alike. The film had a perfect blend of fun, drama, and heart, making it a timeless favorite.

Now, more than two decades later, Kushi is making a grand comeback for both nostalgia-driven 90s kids and today’s younger generation who may have only seen clips online. This is your chance to experience the magic of Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay and Jyothika’s sparkling chemistry on the big screen once more.

Sakthi Film Factory, which struck gold with the Ghilli re-release last year, is bringing Kushi back to theatres and expectations are high once again. With just 10 days to go, mark your calendars and get ready to relive one of Tamil cinema’s most beloved love stories all over again!

From the record-breaking #Ghilli to the evergreen #Kushi the journey continues ❤️🔥
