‘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,

'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.

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.
Sunday crash raises alarms
The biggest surprise came on Sunday, when collections nosedived to just ₹1.12 crore, a figure that has raised eyebrows among trade analysts. 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. All eyes are now on the weekdays to see if the film can stabilize or continue its decline.

Deepshikha Nagpal recalls simplicity of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan on sets: ‘Everybody wants vanity vans today'
Actress Deepshikha Nagpal recently opened up about the stark contrast between Bollywood stars of the 90s and the current generation of actors. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, she reflected on the simplicity and humility she witnessed on sets back in the day — particularly recalling her time shooting Koyla (1997) with Shah Rukh Khan . Deepshikha pointed out how acting wasn't considered a 'respected' profession earlier, and the focus was purely on the craft. 'Acting was not a profession before; it was not a respected job. Now, everybody wants to become an actor; they want vanity vans and staff. I have seen Shah Rukh Khan working in Koyla. There were no vanity vans back then. He would just sleep there in the midst of coal mine machinery and flashing lights. The focus was on work. That we need to finish this scene by this date,' she said. 04:11 SRK-Salman's 'Kat' fight! Salman Khan too had no entourage in the early days Deepshikha also recalled the simplicity of Salman Khan during his earlier years in the industry. She said that both Shah Rukh and Salman were grounded and approachable on set. 'I've even seen how Salman once shot for films. Big stars would get a big makeup room. He would walk alone from the set to his makeup room without a bodyguard or security.

Meanwhile, Akhil Akkineni & Zainab wowed fans with their first post-wedding Sufi night appearance. ormer Bigg Boss OTT 3 winner Sana Makbul has been hospitalised, moments after posting photos from her Eid celebration with her family. Though the details of her ailment haven't been revealed yet, her friend Dr Aashna Kanchwala posted a photo of Sana from the hospital bed, praying for her speedy recovery. Telugu actor Akhil Akkineni, son of Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni, married his ladylove, Zainab Ravdjee on June 6. They tied the knot at their Hyderabad residence in a traditional Telugu wedding, in the presence of their family members and close friends. Naga Chaitanya, Sobhita Dhulipala, Ram Charan, Chiranjeevi and others were seen at the wedding. Now, the newlyweds Akhil and Zainab made a dazzling appearance at a Sufi night post their wedding, and their latest picture has gone viral on social media. Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi is quite active on social media, and has over 8.6 million followers on Instagram alone! She loves sharing glimpses from her day-to-day life on social media, and her latest post showcased her 'many moods'- right from doing makeup, to singing and dancing- while stuck in a traffic jam. Her friend and actress Sonakshi Sinha added a dash of humour to Huma's video with her comment on the playful reel.

For More: 'Take Your Meds': Sonakshi Sinha REACTS To Huma Qureshi's 'Moods' While Stuck In Traffic Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan, is all set to step into the entertainment industry, but behind the camera. He is helming a Netflix series titled The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The first review of Aryan's show is in, and it comes from none other than Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos. In his feedback for the first two episodes that he has watched, Sarandos praised Khan and called the series 'very funny". MTV Roadies XX (Double Cross) came to an end a few days ago, with Gullu aka Kushal Tanwar from Elvish Yadav's gang emerging as the winner. Now, Elvish has shared a new post celebrating his victory on the reality show. He expressed gratitude to his fellow gang leaders on the show- Neha Dhupia, Rhea Chakraborty and Gautam Gulati. However, Prince Narula, one of the show's gang leaders, was noticeably absent from the thank-you note. This omission has garnered a lot of attention, especially since Elvish and Prince had a massive fallout on the show. Looks like the rift between them is far from over.

Aamir Khan Talks Age-Gap Casting With Genelia D'Souza In Sitaare Zameen Par: 'It Is Not A Barrier'
Last Updated: Aamir Khan talks about playing Genelia D'Souza's husband in Sitaare Zameen Par, despite their Jaane Tu… connection. 'That thought did cross my mind,' he says. In an unexpected casting move that has caught fans' attention, Aamir Khan will be seen playing the husband of Genelia D'Souza in the upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par. For many, the pairing may feel unusual — after all, it was Aamir himself who introduced Genelia to the Hindi film industry in 2008, casting her opposite his nephew Imran Khan in the beloved rom-com Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. Now, more than 15 years later, they're playing a married couple — a decision Aamir acknowledges with a smile. 'Ya, I know. That thought did come to me," he says in a recent interview with Indian Express. 'But that was a long time ago. And ab Imran bhi kaafi meri age ka ho gaya hai (laughs)." In Sitaare Zameen Par, a Hindi adaptation of the 2018 Spanish film Campeones, both Aamir and Genelia portray characters in their early 40s. While Aamir is now 60, he dismisses concerns about the age difference, crediting modern technology and audience openness for breaking cinematic taboos around age-gap casting. 'We have the advantage of VFX now," he explains. 'Earlier, if I had to play an 18-year-old, I had to rely on prosthetics — like Anil Kapoor did in Eeshwar (1989), when he played an 80-year-old. Today, you can look 80 or 40 or 20 on screen with seamless visual effects. So age is no longer a barrier for actors." Directed by R.S. Prasanna (Shubh Mangal Saavdhan), Sitaare Zameen Par marks Aamir's return to the big screen after multiple breaks from acting — first during the pandemic, and later after the commercial failure of Laal Singh Chaddha. But as he candidly shares, the right story pulls him back in. 'I have a compulsive streak," he says. 'If something enters my bloodstream, I can't stay away." Set for release in June 2025, Sitaare Zameen Par promises to be an emotional, coming-of-age drama with Aamir and Genelia at its heart — an onscreen pairing no one saw coming, but one that may just surprise us all.
