1. Executive Summary The Pongal harvest festival is one of the most lucrative and competitive release windows in the Tamil film industry (Kollywood). In 2015, the window fell on January 14–16 . Unlike previous years that witnessed multi-crore clashes, the 2015 Pongal season was unique. It was dominated by low-to-mid-budget films , marking a strategic shift away from "big star" vehicles. The season was defined by the surprise success of a female-centric horror-comedy and the underperformance of a high-profile political drama. 2015 pongal release tamil movies

Darling was the quintessential underdog. A low-budget horror-comedy, it told the story of a young man who moves into a bungalow haunted by the ghost of a woman seeking revenge. The film cleverly blended PG-13 level horror with situational comedy and a catchy soundtrack ("Thangamey"). | Movie Title | Release Date | Director

Aambala was a quintessential Sundar C masala film—complete with larger-than-life heroism, family sentiment, slapstick comedy (via Santhanam and Sathish), and item numbers. The plot revolved around Vishal’s character protecting his family from a villain played by Vaibhav. Venkatesh | R
