'Thug Life' Day 8 box office collection hits ₹43.37 crore
Mani Ratnam's crime drama Thug Life, starring Kamal Haasan, Trisha Krishnan, and T.R. Silambarasan, hasn't lived up to the hype. The film kicked off strong with a ₹15.5 crore opening day but quickly lost steam, collecting around ₹43.37 crore in its first eight days.
Day-wise breakdown of the film's 1st week
After its big start, earnings dropped by half on day two to ₹7.5 crore and kept falling—₹7.75 crore on day three, then down to just ₹1.21 crore by day eight. For a movie with this much buzz and such a star cast, these numbers are pretty underwhelming.
Should you watch 'Thug Life?'
If you're curious about Mani Ratnam's latest or enjoy crime stories with complex characters (the plot centers on Sakthivel adopting Amaran after a gang war), it might still be worth a look—just don't expect blockbuster vibes this time around.
