Thug Life box office collection day 5: Kamal Haasan film shows no growth, collects ₹40 crore

Thug Life box office collection day 5: Expectations were high with what was going to be Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan's first film in 38 years after Nayakan. The Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan TR, and Trisha Krishnan-starrer Thug Life was released in theatres on Thursday. However, the film has not met the expectations of many, as it received mixed reviews. The latest Sacnilk report states that Thug Life has seen a sharp dip in its first Monday, collecting just above ₹40 crore. (Also read: Thug Life worldwide box office collection day 4: Kamal Haasan film yet to surpass Indian 2, crosses ₹70 crore) On Monday, Thug Life collected ₹3.11 crore as per early estimates. It is the lowest single-day collection for the film so far. Thug Life opened on Thursday with ₹ 15.5 crore, and was unable to show further growth in the next few days. The total collection of the film now stands at ₹40.01 crore. Most of its earnings are in place because of the Tamil version of the film. The report also states that Thug Life had 17.21% Tamil Occupancy on Monday. Thug Life revolves around the decades-long story of a feared mafia kingpin who seeks revenge after betrayal. The film also stars Silambarasan TR, Trisha Krishnan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Abhirami, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal and Rohit Saraf. The film released in theatres last week amid controversy over Kamal Haasan's comment that Kannada was born out of Tamil. He refused to apologise, and the film was not released in Karnataka. Later, Kamal wrote an open letter to the KFCC, where he said, "My words were intended only to convey that we are all one and from the same family and not to diminish Kannada in any way. There is no dispute or debate on the rich legacy of the Kannada language.'

Music school students to get Class X and XII-equivalent pass certificates

The School Education Department has issued orders to give Class X and XII-equivalent pass certificates to music school students. 'Students studying in district government music schools will be issued pass certificates equivalent to Classes X and XII if they pass the language courses conducted by the Directorate of Government Examinations,' the Government Order (G.O.) said. School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi had announced this provision in the Legislative Assembly earlier this year. The order stated that the move aimed to ensure that students of music schools can access higher education and employment opportunities without any hindrance, and to discourage them from dropping out. It added that if they pass the Class XII Tamil (Part-I) and English language (Part-II) papers, they could continue their musical education or pursue higher education and employment with a Class XII-equivalent pass certificate.
