“Aagayam” is a film that blends politics with social consciousness, directed by Dhinanthorum Nagaraj.
“I have portrayed a realistic slice of life, infused with affection and deep emotion,” says director Dhinanthorum Nagaraj regarding the film “Aagayam.”
Produced by Jayachandran and Karthika Devi under the banner of Delta Talkies, the new film has been titled “Aagayam.”
Director Dhinanthorum Nagaraj, who gained recognition through the film “Dhinanthorum,” became affectionately known by that very name among fans and the film fraternity following the movie’s massive success. Notably, he went on to write the screenplay and dialogues for several hit films, including Gautham Vasudev Menon’s “Minnale” and “Kaakha Kaakha.”
He has now written the story, screenplay, and dialogues for—and directed—the film “Aagayam.”

The lyrics have been penned by Eknath (famous for the song “Nooru Saamigal Irundhalum”), along with Sarathi and Ramanikanthan (known for hits like “Kaatrodu Pattam Pola” and “Neelothi”).

Director Thinanthorum Nagaraj shares his thoughts on the film:
“At its core, Aagayam is a film that opposes alcohol consumption. However, I have narrated this story through the lens of a vibrant, real-life experience. It also incorporates elements of politics and social consciousness.
Films should offer experiences, touch upon real life, and evoke positive emotions. Creating such cinema is a matter of pride for us, and that is exactly what I have done.
Aagayam is one such film; I have portrayed a realistic life story filled with affection and deep emotional intensity,” said Director Thinanthorum Nagaraj.
The film is set to release in theaters soon.
