Thug Life Movie Review Thunderous start but weekday drop evident 'Thug Life' left for a strong start with 15.5 crores on day 1, run by a large-scale Tamil version (₹13.35 crore). Combined enthusiasm with names included in it caused high occupancy in major centers. However, with a dip of more than 53% on day 2, the film earned ₹7.15 crores. The weekend showed a little recovery on Saturday and ₹7.75 crores on Saturday and ₹6.5 crores on Sunday, thanking the film for the well-received performance and strong fan base of Kamal Haasan and STR.

The music is composed by AR Rahman, adding a rich emotional layer to the gritty narrative. OTT rights are already locked, and the film was said to be streaming on Netflix after 8 weeks.
