February 3, 2026 Published by anbuselvid8bbe9c60f
The cult classic Tamil political satire ‘Amaidhipadai’ (Peace Force), directed by Manivannan and starring Sathyaraj in a dual role, is making a grand comeback to theatres after 32 years! Originally released in 1994, the film’s sharp dialogues and biting commentary on politics remain trending even today, making its timing perfect amid the heated political atmosphere in Tamil Nadu ahead of assembly elections.
Sathyaraj played the memorable dual characters of Amavasai (a cunning politician) and Thangavel, with Ranjitha, Kasthuri, Kuily, and others in key roles. The movie’s iconic lines — such as “Arasiyal Aattam Aarambam” (The political game begins) and references to “Puratchi Thamizhan” — continue to echo in political discussions and memes across social media.
With Tamil Nadu’s election season heating up, the film’s relevance to current events has sparked massive excitement among audiences. The re-release is being handled by Sparrow Cinemas’ Karthick Venkatesan, who is restoring the film in stunning 4K resolution with Dolby sound for a modern theatrical experience.
The film is planned for a massive rollout in over 500 theatres across five states: Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, and Karnataka — making it accessible to audiences far beyond its original Tamil roots, as its story and satire resonate universally.
A brand-new poster shared by the team features the tagline “Amavasai’s political game begins,” building huge anticipation. Hashtags like #Amaidhipadai, #AmaidhipadaiReRelease, #Sathyaraj, #Manivannan, and #4KReRelease are already trending on social media.
The official release date is expected to be announced soon, but the buzz is undeniable: Amavasai is back, and the political drama is about to unfold once again on the big screen!
Get ready, audiences — the cult classic that made everyone laugh, think, and question is returning louder and sharper than ever!
