Arjun Das is back with Bomb, and this time the actor steps into a world that is equal parts eccentric and eerie. The trailer, unveiled earlier this week, opens in a rustic village setting where superstition collides with the absurd. One scene even has the locals mistaking a man for dead — only for him to let out a fart, sending the crowd into chaos. It’s a taste of the off-beat tone the film promises, with humour and mystery sitting side by side.
The film is helmed by Vishal Venkat, who made his mark with Sila Nerangalil Sila Manidhargal. Here, he also co-writes the script alongside Manikandan Mathavan and Abishek Sabarigirison, with additional dialogues by Makizhnan BM.
Ensemble Cast, Strong Crew, and Musical Flourish
Backing Arjun Das in Bomb is a line-up packed with familiar faces: Kaali Venkat, Shivathmika Rajashekar, Nassar, Abhirami, Singampuli, Bala Saravanan and more. The film is produced by Sudha Sukumar and Sukumar Balakrishnan under the Gembrio Pictures banner, with D. Saravana Kumar also attached as producer.
On the technical side, the team features some heavy hitters. Rajkumar PM is behind the lens, while Prasanna GK handles editing duties. Manoj Kumar takes charge of art direction, and Monster Mukesh choreographs the stunt sequences.
Music comes from D. Imman, and the album already has buzz thanks to a rich set of singers including KS Chithra, Pushpavanam Kuppusamy, Haricharan, Swetha Mohan, Madhu Balakrishnan, Dharshini Rajkumar and Meghna Suresh. The lyrics are penned by Mani Amuthavan, Chandru K, Rakendu Mouli and Jayra, promising a mix of soulful and folk-tinged tracks that tie into the rural setting.
Why Bomb Stands Out
Unlike conventional village dramas, Bomb leans into satire with a sprinkle of magical realism. The trailer hints at themes of superstition and collective belief, but filters them through comedy, giving the film a refreshing edge. Arjun Das, known for his intense screen presence in thrillers like Kaithi and Andhaghaaram, is taking an unexpected detour here — trading dark, brooding roles for something lighter and more experimental.
With its oddball premise, colourful characters, and a soundtrack rooted in tradition, Bomb has set itself apart in the September release calendar. The film opens on September 12, 2025, and promises a theatrical experience that’s as unconventional as its trailer suggests.
