Mark your calendars, Tamil cinema fans—Revolver Rita is officially set to light up the big screen on August 27, 2025! The makers dropped this exciting news yesterday, June 11, 2025, at 6 PM IST, giving us a release date that perfectly aligns with the festive vibes of Ganesh Chaturthi. Starring Keerthy Suresh in a bold new role, this action-comedy is already generating buzz, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store.
Directed by JK Chandru, Revolver Rita promises a wild mix of dark humor and massy action. Keerthy plays a character who starts off as your typical middle-class girl but clearly has a hidden side that’s anything but ordinary. The film’s teaser, which dropped back on October 17, 2024, as a birthday gift for Keerthy, gave us a taste of the fun—picture her storming into a goon’s hideout to retrieve her bag, which just happens to be packed with a revolver, a bloody knife, and a grenade! The contrast of her dealing with criminals while her mom (played by Radikaa Sarathkumar) calls about tomatoes for dinner is pure gold. It’s the kind of quirky energy that has me hooked already.
The cast is stacked with talent, featuring Radikaa Sarathkumar, Sunil, Ajay Ghosh, Redin Kingsley, Mime Gopi, Sendrayan, and even veteran stunt master Super Subbarayan. Produced by Sudhan Sundaram and Jagadish Palanisamy under Passion Studios and The Route, the film wrapped shooting in May 2024. The technical team is just as impressive, with Sean Roldan on music, Dinesh Krishnan handling cinematography, and Praveen KL taking care of editing. After its theatrical run, Revolver Rita will also stream on Netflix, so there’s a backup plan if you can’t catch it in theaters.
Keerthy’s been on a roll lately with roles that show off her range—think Mahanati and Dasara—and this feels like another chance for her to shine. Chandru, who’s making a directorial comeback after his 2013 film Naveena Saraswathi Sabatham, has a knack for offbeat stories, having written for films like Maanaadu and Tamizh Padam. I’m hoping he brings that same creativity to Revolver Rita, though I’ll be curious to see if the film can keep up the teaser’s high energy throughout. Action-comedies can sometimes lose steam if the script isn’t tight, but with a release date now locked in, we’ll find out soon enough.
August 27 feels like a great slot for Revolver Rita—the Ganesh Chaturthi timing should bring in the festive crowd, and it’s far enough from the big June releases like Thug Life and Kubera to avoid a box office clash. For now, I’m counting down the days to see Keerthy in this “massy” new avatar. If the teaser’s any hint, we’re in for a hilarious, action-packed ride. Don’t miss this one in theaters!
