Rajinikanth’s birthday turned into a full-scale cinematic celebration on Thursday as his 1999 blockbuster Padayappa returned to theatres across India. Marking the superstar’s 75th birthday, the re-release drew massive crowds, with several theatres reporting sold-out shows and record-breaking ticket sales, particularly in Tamil Nadu.

In Madurai, Padayappa opened to a packed house, reflecting the film’s enduring popularity even 25 years after its original release. Ritzy Cinemas shared a glimpse of the audience watching the film, describing the response as unchanged from its first run. The theatre wrote, “#PadayappaInRitzyCinemas Opened with a HOUSEFULL Show. 25 Varusham Munnala Epdi Irundhucho Adhe Response. (The response is the same as it was 25 years ago) #Padayappa."
