Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam and starring Kamal Haasan, Trisha, SilambarasanTR and others has spent 5 days in Indian theatres and the efficiency has been dismal. After an prolonged weekend of Rs 40.75 crore with Rs 33 crore from Tamil Nadu and Rs 7.75 crore from the remainder of India, Thug Life may add barely Rs 2-2.5 crore on first Monday. The numbers are over 85 p.c down from the opening day and greater than 70 p.c down from first Friday.
Thug Life was stated to be the antidote of the closely panned Kamal Haasan biggie, Indian 2, directed by S Shankar. With the Monday pattern, it’s completely clear that Thug Life will not cross Indian 2’s Rs 100 crore on the Indian field workplace. Overlook Indian field workplace, even the worldwide collections will finish decrease than that film’s India complete.
The Day Clever Field Workplace Collections of Thug Life in India are as follows:
Thursday – Rs. 17.00 cr.
Friday – Rs. 7.50 cr.
Saturday – Rs. 8.75 cr.
Sunday – Rs. 7.50 cr.
Monday Rs 2.25 cr. (Ests)
Whole – Rs. 43 cr. gross in 5 days
The producers of Thug Life, nevertheless, are fortunate. Not like Indian 2 that did not get better its finances even after getting good non-theatrical offers, Thug Life has managed to get better its finances from non-theatrical income sources. The theatrical income is actually the quantity that can be shared between Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam. The nominal quantity that they make from their movie, comes at a price of credibility.
Housefull 5, which launched a day after Thug Life, has already crossed Rs 100 crore gross on the Indian field workplace on day 4 and it’s properly on the right track to finish its run grossing over Rs 200 crore.
There’s loads left for Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam to introspect after Thug Life. The film is technically very sound and the problem is primarily with respect to the generic story and the boring screenplay. If not for that, Thug Life may have emerged as the best grossing Tamil film of 2025, up to now.
