Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam's highly anticipated film Thug Life is facing a downward trend at the box office. Despite high expectations, the film saw a below-par opening and struggled to pick up momentum. The action drama received criticism from both audiences and critics, resulting in a significant drop in collections on day 2 and day 3.
According to the latest box office numbers, Thug Life has collected 28 Cr in Tamil Nadu, 3 Cr in Kerala and around 3 Cr from the rest of India. The total India gross stands at 34+ Cr. Overseas, the film is estimated to have grossed around 30 Cr, taking the total worldwide gross to 64 Cr.
The film's box office performance is expected to decline further, with today likely being the last good day for Thug Life. The Mani Ratnam directorial saw a significant drop even on its opening weekend, and it's unlikely to hold good momentum going forward. As a result, crossing the 100 Cr mark seems like a tough task for the film.
With its current trajectory, Thug Life might not be able to recover from its poor box office performance. The film's struggles can be attributed to the negative word-of-mouth and lack of enthusiasm from audiences. As the collections continue to dwindle, it's becoming increasingly unlikely for Thug Life to make a significant impact at the box office.
