Movie Updates - 8th July

 

L365, unveiled on July 8, 2025 offers a striking and enigmatic first look at the upcoming Malayalam film starring Mohanlal. The image is set in a dimly lit bathroom, with a vintage sink and a single overhead bulb casting a moody glow. A wooden-framed mirror dominates the composition, reflecting a poster within it that reads "L365" in bold, stylized typography. The design hints at a gritty narrative, possibly a thriller, reinforced by the presence of a police uniform hanging on the left side, suggesting Mohanlal’s character may portray a cop—a role he’s revisiting after some time.
The color palette, featuring muted blues and warm tones, adds a layer of mystery, while the towel and toiletries on the sink ground the scene in everyday realism. The credits list debut director Austin Dan Thomas, writer Retheesh Ravi, and producer Ashiq Usman, signaling a fresh collaboration. The poster’s minimalist yet evocative style has sparked intrigue, aligning with the trending narrative of a police thriller infused with humor. Fans are eager for more details, especially as filming is set to begin post-Drishyam 3, promising another compelling chapter in Mohanlal’s illustrious career.

"Jenma Natchathiram," a 2025 Tamil horror film directed by B. Manivarman, featuring a striking poster with Thaman Kumar and M.S. Bhaskar, and an audio release on July 8, 2025, with a theatrical debut set for July 18, 2025, intriguingly echoing the title of a 1991 Tamil horror film of the same name that was an unofficial remake of "The Omen."

The film’s director, B. Manivarman, previously helmed "Oru Nodi" (2024), a crime thriller with a 6.7 IMDb rating, suggesting a shift to supernatural themes, potentially leveraging Tamil cinema’s growing interest in horror, a genre that saw a 15% increase in box office revenue in South India from 2020-2024 per a FICCI-EY report.

Thaman Kumar, a Tamil actor known for diverse roles, and M.S. Bhaskar, a veteran with a Tamil Nadu State Film Award, bring credibility, though Kumar’s past box office struggles (e.g., "Sattam Oru Iruttarai" flop) might challenge expectations, hinting at a risky yet ambitious project.
