Radikaa Sarathkumar's latest comedy drama Thaai Kizhavi is continuing to mint major revenue at the box office and as of Monday, the film has crossed the Rs 40 crore mark at the country-wide box office. Directed by debutant Sivakumar Murugesan, the film was released in theatres on February 27 to positive reviews from audiences and critics.

Thaai Kizhavi follows the story of a family who scrambles to find a hidden treasure after the matriarch Pavunuthaayi (Radikaa) gets afflicted by an illness. Thaai Kizhavi also stars Singam Puli, Arul Doss, Bala Saravanan, Munishkanth, Ilavarasu, George Maryan, Muthukumar, Raichal Rabecca, among others.
An excerpt from our CE review of the film reads, "While Radikaa appears for just over 30-40 minutes of this 140-minute film, her presence looms over every single moment. But when she goes missing in action, Sivakumar not just uses the characters and their machinations to a ‘T’, he showcases an immense grasp of creating moments and hitting us with one comic punch after another. In this endeavour, he is not only aided by his excellent cast but also by his choice of songs, courtesy of Kamal Haasan’s films."
In addition to Radikaa, Thaai Kizhavi also stars Singam Puli, Arul Doss, Munishkanth, Bala Saravanan, Ilavarasu, Muthukumar, George Maryan, and Raichal Rabecca. The film is produced by Sudhan Sundaram's Passion Studios and presented by Sivakarthikeyan's SK Productions.
On the technical front, the film features music by Nivas K Prasanna, cinematography by Vivek Vijayakumar, and editing by San Lokesh.
