Thalaivan Thalaivii box office collection day 1: Vijay Sethupathi's Tamil romantic comedy opens strong, earns Rs 4.15 crore
Thalaivan Thalaivi does well on day 1
Thalaivan Thalaivii, one of the most eagerly awaited films of the month, is off to a good start in India. According to Sacnilk, a trade website, the romantic comedy earned Rs 4.15 crore (nett) on the first day.
The overall occupancy was around 47%. The morning shows had an occupancy of 30.14%. The afternoon shows saw an occupancy of 41.95%. The evening (46.54%) and night (69.38%) too fared well on this front.
Thalaivan Thalaivii emerged as the top choice of the audience in Trichy, where the occupancy was 81%. It, however, found limited patronage in Kochi (17.75%) and Trivandrum (14%). Thalaivan Thalaivii is a crucial release for Vijay Sethupathi as it comes after Ace, which earned less than Rs 10 crore and bombed at the box office.
Thalaivan Thalaivi review
Thalaivan Thalaivii has received positive reviews with critics lauding the presentation and the performances. The Times of India gave it a rating of 4 stars out of 5. And praised the film for delving into the seldom discussed issue of life after marriage.
'Thalaivan Thalaivi becomes one of the very few Tamil films that dig into the life after marriage, something after the beginning of the seemingly 'Happily ever after,' and Pandiraj has crafted a fun, frustrating family padam,' read a part of the review.
The positive word-of-mouth is likely to help Thalaivan Thalaivii pack a punch over the weekend.

'If sex is a bad thing...', Tamannaah Bhatia breaks her silence on controversial scene with Prabhas in Bahubali
In the world of grand cinema and unforgettable visuals, Bahubali stands tall as a game-changer. Directed by SS Rajamouli, the film didn't just break box office records, it redefined how Indian cinema told epic tales. Among its many striking moments, there was one scene that sparked conversations, drew criticism, and even left one of its lead actors with mixed emotions. Tamannaah Bhatia on her controversial scene with Prabhas Recently, actress Tamannaah Bhatia opened up about the scene in Bahubali: The Beginning where her character Avanthika and Prabhas's character, Shivudu, share an intimate sequence. In the sequence of the song 'Pacha Bottasi,' Shivudu undoes Avanthika's warrior makeup and ornaments, symbolizing her transformation from a fighter to a woman in love. While some praised the moment for its visual storytelling, others called it problematic, suggesting that it romanticized something deeper, perhaps even uncomfortable. What did Tamannaah say? In an interview given to The Lallantop, she said, 'When people cannot control you, they use one technique and that is shame and guilt. Because they always make you feel that you should be ashamed of whatever you are doing, when they can make you feel like this, they can gain control over you.' Tamannaah on the approach of SS Rajamouli's filmmaking Tamannaah further admitted that she, too, felt conflicted about the scene. At the time of shooting, she says she trusted the vision of the director, believing it was done with artistic intent, but all the controversies made her upset. She said, 'If someone feels that sex is a bad thing or body is a bad thing, then he will see that only. Because that is his perspective, his thinking. A filmmaker wants to show you something very beautiful, but if you see something else, then that is your thinking.' More about Bahubali Set in the fictional kingdom of Mahishmati, the story follows Shivudu, a young man with extraordinary strength who embarks on a journey to discover his roots. Along the way, he learns about the tragic fate of his father, Amarendra Baahubali, and the cruel rule of Bhallaladeva (Rana Daggubati). The film ends on a powerful cliffhanger, setting the stage for its grand sequel. With stunning visuals, intense performances, and a gripping narrative, Baahubali captivated audiences globally. It also featured Tamannaah Bhatia, Anushka Shetty, Sathyaraj, and Ramya Krishnan in pivotal roles. The film is currently available for streaming on Netflix.
