The Tamil industry has given a few big movies involving big stars and directors this year. However, most of them have landed as big disappointments. Tamil legends like Mani Ratnam, Shankar, and Murugadoss, along with others, disappointed big time in 2025.
Shankar, Maniratnam, Murugadoss, and Lokesh Kanagaraj not only have a big fanbase in Tamil audiences, but they have also created a big brand in all audiences and even expanded Kollywood markets too.
Tamil Big Directors and Actors Disappoint in 2025
Putting the box office results aside, content-wise, Shankar’s Game Changer, Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life, Murugadoss’s Sikandar, and now Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie fall short of expectations.
Everyone anticipated 2025 would be a year for Kollywood directors and expected that their legendary directors would give the best but were disappointed in a big way.
Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie might end up as an average-above average grosser at the box office, but as said above, in 2025, Tamil legends like Mani Ratnam and Shankar, along with other noted directors, delivered pathetic content.
