Thug Life Box Office Collection Day 2: Kamal Haasan's film faces decline with ₹7.5 crore
The much-anticipated film Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam and starring Kamal Haasan, has seen a notable decline in its box office performance on the second day of release. As per early estimates from Sacnilk, the film earned approximately ₹ 7.5 crore (all languages combined) across India on Day 2 — a significant drop from its ₹ 15.5 crore opening day collection.
This brings the two-day total to ₹ 23 crore (net) in India.
The sharp fall in collections has sparked concerns over the film's ability to maintain momentum through the weekend, particularly in non-Tamil-speaking regions, where its reception appears weaker.
On its second day, Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam's Thug Life showed mixed box office trends across regions.
In Tamil Nadu, particularly Chennai, the film held up relatively well. The Tamil version posted a moderate overall occupancy of 31.41% on Friday.
The Telugu version did slightly better, managing a 14.17% overall occupancy, but still fell short of expectations for a pan-India project.
The Hindi version saw a dismal 6.48% overall occupancy, with poor turnout even for evening and night shows.
The over 50% drop in collections on Day 2 is a worrying sign for the makers of Thug Life, especially considering its star-studded cast, renowned director, and the significant pre-release hype surrounding the film.
Produced by Raaj Kamal Films International and Madras Talkies, the movie was released in over 2,220 theatres overseas on 5 June. Alongside Kamal Haasan, the star cast features Trisha Krishnan, T.R. Silambarasan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, and Mahesh Manjrekar in pivotal roles.

Deepika Padukone's Fans TROLL 'Manchild' Sandeep Reddy Vanga As She Joins Atlee's Film
Last Updated: Deepika Padukone's fans also lauded Atlee for showcasing her as a superstar in the announcement video. Deepika Padukone's fans have begun trolling Sandeep Reddy Vanga after the actress was confirmed for Atlee's Telugu film. Sandeep Reddy Vanga reportedly removed Deepika Padukone from Spirit as he couldn't match her demands. One of them was that Deepika allegedly refused to mouth Telugu dialogues. Amid this row, Deepika has signed Atlee and Allu Arjun's upcoming film, AA22xA6. Earlier today, the makers dropped an intriguing video welcoming Deepika onboard AA22xA6. The video promises that Deepika will have an action-packed role in the film. The video began with Deepika discussing the script with Atlee before they got on the set and started preparing for the movie's CGI-enabled action-packed sequences. Deepika was shown wielding a sword and riding a dummy horse for the film. As the video went viral on social media sites, Deepika's fans on Reddit trolled Sandeep Reddy Vanga. One person wrote, 'Yup, so it was never about speaking Telugu or 8 hours or remuneration. All those were lies? Guess we now know who the bigger liar was in this whole saga." Another wrote, 'Man child Vangu crying in the corner.' One person wrote, 'She has been the top actress for years. No Sandeep Reddy Vanga can make her sit at home." One fan commented, 'Deepika be like, 'Your move Vanga.'" Another wrote, 'Vanga must be feeling so irritated now lol." One person wrote, 'Just as there were rumours about her being ousted from another movie over her 8-hour shift demands, this is a knockout move. A statement made loud & clear. Good for her." Another wrote, 'Glad she chose to walk out of misogynist manchild's film." Meanwhile, in the caption of the announcement clip, the makers described Deepika as a 'queen" who is ready to 'conquer". Interestingly, this announcement comes as Deepika Padukone is embroiled in the Spirit exit controversy. There is also buzz that her demands aren't sitting well with Kalki 2898 AD director Nag Ashwin as well. While there is no confirmation on this yet, the chatter around Deepika's upcoming films has created a social media frenzy. Amid this, the actress's fans are praising Atlee for 'understanding" and 'respecting" Deepika's point of view and superstar status. First Published:
