# Dorothy first song Kalyana Virundhu released by makers 2026-08-22T18:35:55+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The makers of Karthik Subbaraj's upcoming film Dorothy released its first song, Kalyana Virundhu, on Saturday. The upbeat number is composed by Ilaiyaraaja, who also wrote the lyrics. It is sung by Yugendran, Anthony Daasan, and Priya Jerson. The film stars Keerthy Suresh, Sananth, and Rishikanth. It will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, becoming the first Tamil film from India to do so in a decade. Dorothy is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on September 25. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Guneet Monga Kapoor, and Achin Jain under Sikhya Entertainment and Dhammam Films. It is Karthik Subbaraj's tenth feature film. He has called the story close to his heart and something he has long wanted to make. ## Indian Opinion Analysis A world premiere at TIFF is a major milestone for a Tamil film, typically reserved for independent or festival-friendly cinema. The last Tamil film to achieve this was a decade ago, signaling a shift in international recognition for the industry. Ilaiyaraaja's involvement adds significant musical weight, as his collaboration with Subbaraj is rare. The film's September 25 release date pits it against other Diwali-season contenders, but the TIFF premiere could build crucial word-of-mouth before the theatrical run. The production involves Jio Studios, indicating a strong backing for wide distribution. ## Coverage - cinemaexpress.com Straightforward news about song release and film details, no editorial slant.
