With Jana Nayagan and Parasakthi dominating screens during the Pongal season, several mid- and small-budget Tamil films have chosen to stay away from the crowded January release windows. Limited screen availability and strong holdovers from these biggies have pushed most fresh titles to February 2026, making it the next key release corridor for Tamil cinema. Notably, the majority of these films were already planned around the Valentine’s Day weekend, which aligns well with their rom-com and romance-driven genres.

As a result, February is shaping up to be a competitive month with a mix of romance-centric and youth-driven films lining up for theatrical release. Here’s a look at the planned Tamil releases for February 2026:

• With Love – February 6

• Pookie – February 13

• Love Insurance Kompany – February 13

• Idhayam Murali – February 13

• Heartin 

• Seetha Payanam – February 14

In addition, one more major release is expected to join the February lineup, potentially intensifying the box office clash. With multiple films targeting Valentine’s week, February 2026 is poised to be a crucial and crowded month for Tamil cinema.
