Thug Life box office Day 3: Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan's film crawls past Rs 30 crore

The Tamil film 'Thug Life', directed by Mani Ratnam and starring Kamal Haasan, has struggled to cross the Rs 30-crore mark within its first three days at the domestic box office. Despite being a highly anticipated release, the film managed to earn only Rs 7.5 crore on Saturday, offering slight respite after a sharp dip in collections on Day 2.After opening to a respectable Rs 15.5 crore on Day 1, Thug Life witnessed a steep drop of 53.87 percent on Day 2, earning just Rs 7.15 crore. Its Day 3 collections remained flat, with the film adding only Rs 7.5 crore to its total. Despite its stellar cast, the film appears to be impacted by lukewarm word-of-mouth.advertisementAccording to industry tracker Sacnilk.com, the Tamil version recorded its highest occupancy on Day 3 during the evening shows, with an overall footfall of 39.12 percent.
On the global front, 'Thug Life' has reportedly grossed around Rs 60-65 crore worldwide by the end of Day 3. This figure pales in comparison to Mani Ratnam's previous successes - 'Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1 and Part 2', both of which raked in over Rs 300-400 crore worldwide.India Today's review of 'Thug Life' reads, 'Director Mani Ratnam's 'Thug Life' chronicles the story of thugs - one filled with trust, mistrust, jealousy, greed, betrayal, backstabbing, and what not! While the film did justice in offering a glimpse into the lives of these thugs, it wasn't long-standing in the larger scheme of things. What makes for a truly great gangster story? It's not just the violent clashes between rival gangs – it's the high-stakes drama that cuts through it all. The first half of 'Thug Life' had all of it.'The film also features Trisha Krishnan, Silambarasan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Joju George, and Ali Fazal in key roles.Tune InMust Watch
