Marutham, a Tamil thriller-drama directed by V. Gajendran, will be released in theatres today, October 10, 2025. The film, starring Vidharth, Rakshana, Maran, Aruldoss, Saravana Subbaiah, Mathew Varghese, and Thinanthorum Nagaraj, follows a farmer whose life is upended when his family's land is auctioned off without his knowledge.

Ramesh Bala, a film industry tracker, rated the film 3.5/5 in a post on X (previously Twitter). He summarised the plot as follows: the protagonist's field is auctioned off for a debt he never accepted, and the novel intriguingly explores how the mystery is solved. Ramesh Bala commented that Vidharth's acting feels natural, while newbie Rakshana gives a fantastic performance. Actors Maran, Aruldoss, Saravana Subbiaiah, and Thinanthorum Nagaraj provided support.
