Thug Life Week 1 Worldwide Box Office: Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam's movie grosses a paltry Rs 89 crore in week 1; To end under Rs 100 crore mark
Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam's Thug Life has turned out to be a massive disappointment at the worldwide box office. The gangster drama, which hit theaters on June 5, 2025, has grossed just Rs 89 crore in its first week globally. This includes Rs 46 crore gross in India and Rs 43 crore gross from international markets. The film is unlikely to add much from here. It is projected to end its global run under Rs 100 crore gross. This is a shocking outcome for a film carrying such high expectations. It's a steep fall for both Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam, whose recent films set a much higher benchmark. In India, Thug Life struggled from the start. The extended opening weekend (Thursday to Sunday) collected Rs 40.75 crore. Tamil Nadu led with Rs 33 crore, while the rest of India contributed Rs 7.75 crore. However, the film faced a sharp decline during the weekdays. Monday saw collections drop to Rs 2.25 crore, a fall of over 85% from its opening day. Tuesday was even worse, with just Rs 1.75 crore. Wednesday looks to be in the vicinity of Rs 1.25-1.50 crore, bringing the total to around Rs 46 crore. The week 1 total of Rs 46 crore reflects audience rejection. Negative word-of-mouth, a generic storyline, and a weak screenplay hurt its performance. The absence of a release in Karnataka, due to controversy over Kamal Haasan's remarks on the Kannada language, also cost it around Rs 5 crore. The effect would have been higher if Thug Life was accepted. Internationally, Thug Life managed Rs 43 crore gross in week 1. While this is poor, it is not as bad as the domestic performance. The global total of Rs 89 crore is a far cry from Kamal Haasan's previous films. His last release, Indian 2, was called a disaster but still grossed Rs 151 crore worldwide. Before that, Vikram was a blockbuster, crossing Rs 400 crore globally. Thug Life's numbers are nowhere close, marking it as Kamal Haasan's biggest theatrical flop in recent years. For Mani Ratnam, this is equally disappointing. His last two films were massive successes. Ponniyin Selvan - I grossed Rs 500 crore worldwide, becoming an all-time blockbuster. Ponniyin Selvan - II followed as a superhit. Thug Life was expected to continue this winning streak, but it has fallen flat. The reunion of Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam, 38 years after their iconic Nayakan, generated huge hype. Sadly, the film failed to live up to it. In comparison, Housefull 5, released a day after Thug Life, it crossed Rs 100 crore gross in India in 4 days flat. This highlights how poorly Thug Life performed. The film is set to wrap up below Rs 100 crore globally. For Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam, Thug Life is a rare misstep. Fans now hope their next projects will bring back their box office magic. Thug Life plays in theatres now.

Thug Life Week 1 India Box Office Collection: Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam's crime-actioner grosses dismal Rs 46 crore in 7 days
Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam's much-anticipated gangster drama, Thug Life, is observing a disappointing run at the Indian box office, culminating it's first week grossing a meagre Rs 46 crore. The film, which reunited the iconic actor-director duo after nearly four decades since their cult classic Nayakan, opened reasonably on June 5, 2025, but faced a steep decline in collections over the days to follow, marking it as one of Tamil cinema's biggest theatrical disappointments. The extended opening weekend (Thursday to Sunday) saw Thug Life collect Rs 40.75 crore, with Tamil Nadu contributing Rs 33 crore, while the rest of India added Rs 7.75 crore. Despite a promising start, the film struggled to maintain momentum due to negative audience reception, primarily due to a generic storyline and a lackluster screenplay. The absence of a release in Karnataka, owing to controversy surrounding Kamal Haasan 's remarks on the Kannada language, further limited its reach, though the impact is under Rs 5 crore going by how the film has been performing across the rest of India. The weekdays proved particularly challenging for Thug Life. On its first Monday (Day 5), collections plummeted to an irredeemable Rs 2.25 crore, reflecting an over 85 percent drop from its opening day and more than 70 percent from the previous Friday. The downward spiral continued on Tuesday (Day 6), with the movie grossing Rs 1.75 crore. On Wednesday, the film managed to add just Rs 1.25-1.50 crore, bringing the total to around Rs 46 crore gross. The Day Wise Box Office 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. Tuesday Rs 1.75 cr. Wednesday Rs 1.40 cr. Total - Rs. 46.15 cr. gross in 7 days In comparison, Housefull 5, which released a day after Thug Life, soared past Rs 100 crore in India within its first week and this highlights the stark contrast in audience reception. Thug Life's performance is a significant letdown following Kamal Haasan's blockbuster, Vikram. It is set to score under his previous release, Indian 2, which ended up grossing Rs 100 crore domestically, despite being labeled a disaster. With a projected India gross of under Rs 60 crore and a projected worldwide gross of below Rs 100 crore, Thug Life is a bonafied theatrical disaster. Thug Life plays in theatres, now.

‘Thug Life' day 6 box office collection: Kamal Haasan-Mani Ratnam film loses shows, witnesses poor occupancy
Thug Life, starring Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam, is experiencing a disappointing run in theatres. The film, which released in India in 4917 screens, is reported to have lost half its shows in less than seven days. Reportedly made on a whopping budget of ₹300 crore, the movie witnessed just a 17 per cent occupancy across Tamil, Hindi and Telugu versions on the sixth day of its release. The pan-Indian film currently has 2089 shows in India. On the sixth day of its theatrical run, Thug Life collected a nett of ₹1.75 crore in India. The film, co-produced by Kamal Haasan's Raaj Kamal Films International and Mani Ratnam's Madras Talkies, has earned ₹41 crore in the country. The Hindi film Housefull 5, another big release of last week, has overshadowed Thug Life by collecting ₹10.75 crore on Tuesday, taking its overall box office number to more than ₹100 crore within four days. For Kamal Haasan, who co-produced Thug Life under his banner Raaj Kamal Films International, the movie's poor show comes on the back of the disastrous performance of Indian 2, directed by S Shankar. Mani Ratnam, on the other hand, had a delivered a humungous hit with his Ponniyin Selvan films, before Thug Life. Also starting Silambarasan TR, Trisha, Ashok Selvan, Joju George and Nasser, the Thug Life has music from A R Rahman and cinematography from Ravi K Chandran. Sreekar Prasad has done the editing for the movie. ALSO READ:Kamal Haasan interview: On 'Thug Life', AI in cinema and his unrealised projects The Hindu review of the movie said, 'It doesn't help that the film fails to add more to its archaic fight-for-the-throne conflict at the centre of the film. Subplots and layers seem added purely for convenience, like a character that returns in the climax to serve a meagre purpose. Despite a master filmmaker at the helm, all the star power in its arsenal and the right ingredients to make a heady modern gangster drama, it makes you grope in the dark for its beating heart.'
