What happens

Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam (transl. Why is the moon mad at me?) is a 2025 Indian Tamil-language coming-of-age romantic comedy film written, directed and co-produced by Dhanush. The film stars an ensemble cast including Pavish Narayan, Mathew Thomas, Anikha Surendran, Priya Prakash Varrier, R. Sarathkumar, Venkatesh Menon, Rabiya Khatoon and Ramya Ranganathan. The title of this film is derived from a song in the film Policekaran Magal (1962). Initially, Soundarya Rajinikanth was to direct the film, announced in 2016, with Dhanush starring and Kalaipuli S. Thanu producing, but it failed to materialise. It was reannounced in December 2023 by Dhanush's Wunderbar Films and his father, Kasthuri Raja's RK Entertainment. Principal photography commenced the same month and wrapped in November 2024. The film has music composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar, cinematography handled by Leon Britto and editing by Prasanna GK. Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam was released theatrically in India on 21 February 2025 by Red Giant Movies. The film received mixed reviews from critics, becoming a box-office failure.
