Youth Tamil movie 2026
The Tamil romantic comedy Youth, starring Ken Karunas and Anishma Anilkumar, has opened on a promising note at the Indian box office. Released on March 19, 2026, the film benefited significantly from the Ugadi holiday, which boosted its opening day collections.
The film has managed to create a positive buzz among audiences and critics alike, helping it secure a strong start in theatres.
According to early estimates, Youth collected around ₹3.2 crore net at the Indian box office on its opening day. This translates to approximately ₹3.77 crore gross.
With these numbers, the film has comfortably crossed the ₹3 crore mark, marking a solid beginning for a mid-budget Tamil entertainer in 2026.
Youth has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the second-highest opening Tamil film of 2026. It stands just behind Parasakthi, starring Sivakarthikeyan, which opened at ₹12.35 crore.
The film has surpassed Thaai Kizhavi, which had collected ₹2.65 crore on its opening day, securing the second spot in the list of top Kollywood openers this year.

Apart from Ken Karunas and Anishma Anilkumar, the film features a talented supporting cast including Suraj Venjaramoodu, Priyanshi Yadav, Meenakshi Dinesh, and Abison Thevarasa.
