Thug Life box office collection day 7: Mani Ratnam delivers his first flop in 10 years, Kamal Haasan-starrer falls short of Baby John, Sikandar
Thug Life box office collection day 7: What was supposed to be a dream project, an attempt at creating something 'out of the box' and 'much-anticipated collaboration' has turned into a disaster. Thug Life is losing shows and witnessing drop in collection with each passing day. On day seven, the Kamal Hassan-Mani Ratnam film earned just Rs 1.25 crore India nett, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The collection is far less than Kamal Haasan's previous release, Indian 2 (another flop). Varun Dhawan's Baby John and Salman Khan's Sikandar, which tanked at the box office as well, both performed better on day seven, earning Rs 2.25 crore and Rs 4 crore, respectively. But to be fair to Kamal Haasan, these films had higher show count.
On day 7, Kamal Haasan's film witnessed an overall occupancy of 15.57% in the Tamil language with 1132 shows across the country. The shows which were already reduced from 2503 to 1290. A further 158 shows were taken away on its seventh day. The movie met with a similar fate in the Hindi and Telugu language where the occupancy was 4.38% and 13.98%, respectively. Shows in Hindi are reduced to 212 from 218 and 567 from 581 in the Telugu language.

After his 2018 film Viswaroopam 2, Kamal Haasan has appeared in just four films, Vikram, Kalki 2898 AD, Indian 2 and Thug Life. While Vikram and Kalki 2898 AD were blockbusters at the box office, his films Indian 2 and now Thug Life have been a disappointment. Comparatively, Indian 2 had a better seven-day collection, which was Rs 81.9 crore India nett. Meanwhile, Thug Life's seven day collection stands at Rs 42.25 crore.
This is also a career low for Mani Ratnam after hits like the Ponniyin Selvan franchise (2022-2023), Chekka Chivantha Vaanam (2018), and O Kadhal Kanmani (2015) in the past decade.
Kamal Haasan's film released across the world sans Karnataka on June 5. His controversial remark on Kannada language resulted in the ban of the film from the state. However, with the film's current performance it would have hardly added to the overall collections. Apart from Kamal Haasan, the film also stars actors Trisha Krishnan and Silambarasan TR in the lead role.
