‘Thug Life' Box Office Collection Day 4 (Live): Kamal Haasan starrer sees a sharp drop
Kamal Haasan 's much-anticipated film 'Thug Life' began its box office journey on a solid note, raking in ₹15.5 crore on its opening day across all languages. The Tamil version dominated with ₹13.35 crore, while the Telugu and Hindi versions added ₹1.5 crore and ₹0.65 crore, respectively. With strong pre-release buzz, fan shows, and widespread curiosity, the Day 1 numbers reflected the power of Kamal Haasan's brand and the expectations surrounding this action-packed entertainer. A sharp drop on day 2 dampens momentum However, Mani Ratnam 's directorial saw a sharp dip on Day 2, collecting ₹7.15 crore—marking a significant 53.87% drop, as per Sacnilk. While Tamil Nadu continued to lead with ₹6.35 crore, the collections in Telugu and Hindi circuits dropped to ₹0.5 crore and ₹0.3 crore, respectively. Despite a festive release window, the decline indicated that the film's content may not have fully resonated with the wider audience, especially in non-Tamil belts. Saturday holds steady, but growth stalls. Saturday brought little improvement, with the film earning ₹7.14 crore—a negligible dip of 0.14% from Friday. The Tamil version contributed ₹6.38 crore, while Telugu and Hindi stayed around ₹0.52 crore and ₹0.24 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live by the Beach at Sunteck's 2/3BHK Homes starts @₹98L+ Sunteck Realty Learn More Undo The stable Saturday performance gave some hope for the weekend, but the film still failed to show the typical upward trend usually expected on weekends, especially with a superstar-led project.

With the 4-day total standing at ₹30.91 crore, Thug Life's box office journey so far has been underwhelming. Despite a strong start, the steep fall signals mixed word-of-mouth and stiff competition.
