This Deepavali turned out to be a very good one for Tamil Cinema. The two movies that hit the screens for Deepavali are Thalapathy Vijay's Bigil and Karthi's Kaithi. Bigil, bankrolled by AGS Entertainment and directed by Atlee, created records at the Box Office and raked in millions. However, Kaithi dis not come in second as the Karthi starrer won equal accolades and collected as highly at the Box Office. There were no other major movies which released in the weeks following Deepavali and the most recently released Action and Sanga Thamizhan became the only big movies to release afterwards.

Considering this, an industry analyst had posted that the Deepavali dream run had ended and that the footfalls had been dropping across Tamil Nadu. Responding to this post, Kaithi's producer SR Prabhu revealed that this was not the fact, as their movie Kaithi is still doing good in about 200 screens. Kaithi was jointly produced by SR Prabhu & SR Prakashbabu's Dream Warrior Pictures in association with Tiruppur Vivek's Vivekananda Pictures. This movie was also simultaneously released in Telugu as Kaidhi.

Kaithi is director Lokesh Kanagaraj's second directorial venture following his super hit debut movie Maanagaram. The director has already begun work on his next movie with Vijay, which is currently being called Thalapathy 64. It does look like Kaithi and Bigil will continue with their dream run at the theatres, as the reviews for both Vishal-starrer Action and Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi-starrer Sanga Thamizhan have only been mixed and both the movies have not set the Box Office alight!
