Keerthy Suresh’s Dorothy Gets ‘A’ Certificate, Sets 146-Minute Runtime

Keerthy Suresh’s upcoming film Dorothy, directed by Karthik Subbaraj, has officially cleared the censor process with an ‘A’ certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification. Known for her versatile roles across South Indian cinema, Keerthy Suresh takes on a challenging part in this independent period drama, which is set in rural Tamil Nadu and explores intense themes of violence, social conditioning, and adult relationships.

Dorothy is Karthik Subbaraj’s tenth directorial project, following his reputation for bold storytelling in films like Jigarthanda and Petta. The film is produced by Sikhya Entertainment in association with Jio Studios, and features a rare musical score by Maestro Ilaiyaraaja, adding significant anticipation among music lovers. Alongside Keerthy Suresh, the cast includes Sananth and Rishikanth in pivotal roles, promising a strong ensemble performance.

The film’s final runtime has been confirmed at 2 hours and 26 minutes (146 minutes), with the adult rating reflecting its raw and unfiltered narrative style. Dorothy recently made its world premiere at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was met with a standing ovation from both audiences and critics. This international acclaim has heightened interest among Indian cinephiles, who are now looking forward to its theatrical release on September 25, 2026.

With the buzz surrounding its festival reception and the involvement of acclaimed talent, Dorothy is set to make a notable entry into Indian cinemas this week.
