The trailer of ‘Idhayam Murali,’ starring Atharvaa in the lead, has struck the right emotional chord with movie lovers. Directed by debutant Aakash Baskaran, the film promises a heartwarming mix of romance, friendship, family emotions and humour. The film stars Preity Mukundhan, Kayadu Lohar, Natty, and several others, while composer Thaman S also appears in an important role. Carrying the iconic title that made Atharvaa’s father Murali famous decades ago, the film has already generated curiosity. The trailer has now taken that excitement a step further, with many calling it one of the most pleasant previews released this year.
Trailer reveals an emotional love journey
The newly released trailer opens with a touching dialogue: “There are many people who couldn’t express their love. They did not even know how to explain their silence, or even express their feelings. Then it moves on to the journey of Atharvaa as a character through various stages of his life, beginning with school and college romance, and moving into adulthood, where he is still on the lookout for the woman he loves. The trailer also features Fahadh Faasil, whose surprise entry adds another layer of excitement. His hilarious dialogue comparing a major twist to a Korean drama has gained attention online. Another light-hearted scene involving an in-car AI and the song ‘Vennilave Vennilave’ is a humorous scene that adds to the humour, making the movie look like an entertaining emotional journey rather than a regular love story.
Fans shower praise on the trailer
The trailer has received an overwhelmingly positive response across social media. One fan wrote, “Even without Gautham Vasudev Menon, this film gives complete GVM vibes. Atharvaa, Preity and Kayadu look wonderful together, and Thaman’s music is simply magical.” Another commented, “The trailer feels fresh and completely different from Atharvaa’s previous films. Big hopes on Aakash Baskaran to deliver a beautiful feel-good entertainer.” A third reaction read, “Packed with fun, love, and emotions.
