Pongal 2027 Tamil Movie Releases: Demonte Colony 3, Pocket Novel, Vettuvam and Dayangaram
The Pongal 2027 Tamil movie releases now include a horror sequel, a Vijay Sethupathi film, Pa Ranjith’s next directorial, and VJ Siddhu’s filmmaking debut. Demonte Colony 3 is the latest of these four titles to confirm a festive release window, with its makers announcing the move on 8 November 2026. Pocket Novel, Vettuvam and Dayangaram have also been lined up for Pongal.
There is an important difference between a festival release announcement and a fixed date. Of the four films, Pocket Novel has a specific release date: 14 January 2027. The others have announced a Pongal release window without confirming a specific theatrical opening date. Thai Pongal itself falls on Friday, 15 January 2027.

🎞️ Demonte Colony 3 moves into the Pongal window
Arulnithi returns to the Demonte Colony franchise in its third installment, directed by Ajay R Gnanamuthu. Priya Bhavani Shankar is also part of the cast, while Sam CS handles the music. The supernatural horror series began with Demonte Colony in 2015 and continued with Demonte Colony 2 in 2024.
The third film had earlier been scheduled for September 2026. Its new promotional poster now promises a worldwide Pongal 2027 release, but does not name a particular day. The film has also received an A certificate, as recorded in the official CBFC film listing. That certification is confirmed; a new exact release date is not.
🎬 Pocket Novel locks 14 January for theatres
Pocket Novel currently offers the clearest release plan of the four. Its dated poster places the film in cinemas on Thursday, 14 January 2027, just ahead of the main Pongal holiday. The film reunites Vijay Sethupathi with director Thiagarajan Kumararaja after their collaboration on Super Deluxe.
Malavika Mohanan, Raj B Shetty and Kishore are among the cast, with GV Prakash Kumar composing the music. The illustrated poster carries the precise release date, unlike the broader festival-window announcements for the other films.
🎥 Vettuvam and Dayangaram offer different kinds of cinema
Pa Ranjith’s Vettuvam was announced for Pongal 2027 on 30 October. Its ensemble includes Arya, V. R. Dinesh, Sobhita Dhulipala and Shabeer Kallarakkal. The promotional artwork identifies Arya’s character as Dharmarajan, while the makers have also released a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the film’s action work. GV Prakash Kumar is the composer. An exact January date remains unannounced.
Dayangaram, meanwhile, marks VJ Siddhu’s debut as a feature-film director. He has written, directed, and acted in the film, which is produced by Ishari K Ganesh through Vels Film International. Its makers announced the Pongal window with a teaser on 3 November. Natty Natraj is among the cast, and Siddhu Kumar is handling the music.
📅 Which Pongal 2027 release dates are actually confirmed?
For now, Pocket Novel is dated for 14 January, while Demonte Colony 3, Vettuvam and Dayangaram have confirmed the festival window rather than a specific day. These are announced release plans, not guarantees that every film will eventually open on the same weekend.
The next useful updates will be individual theatrical dates and any changes communicated by the production teams. CinemaRumble’s Kollywood News section will continue tracking those announcements as the Pongal calendar becomes clearer.
