South superstar Mohanlal's new Malayalam film, ‘Thudarum,’ continues its box office dominance, achieving impressive earnings on its ninth day of release. Directed by Tharun Moorthy, the film presents a relatable and emotional story of an ordinary man.
Thudarum Box Office Collection Day 9: Mohanlal's ‘Thudarum’ maintains a b box office position nine days after its release. The film received positive initial audience feedback. Despite releasing alongside several major films on May 1st, ‘Thudarum’ retained its hold on theaters. This is attributed to its compelling story, b performances, and Mohanlal's star power, consistently drawing audiences to cinemas.
‘Thudarum’ Shines Amidst Surya and Nani’s Releases
While two other South superstars, Surya (with ‘Retro’) and Nani (with ‘Hit 3’), released their films on May 1st, ‘Thudarum’ created a compelling competition, leveraging Mohanlal's charismatic acting and b content. Many trade analysts predicted that the simultaneous release of three major films would harm ‘Thudarum,’ but the reality proved otherwise. Earning ₹6.08 crore on its ninth day, the film demonstrates that audiences value compelling content above all else.
Total India Earnings of ₹62.88 Crore
The film has grossed a total of ₹62.88 crore in India. This figure is not only remarkable for Malayalam cinema but also showcases how a b story and a powerful lead actor can overcome any obstacle. Consistent positive word-of-mouth from critics and audiences has prevented any reduction in screen count, leading to continuously rising daily earnings.
After its success in India, ‘Thudarum’ has also made a significant impact in the international market. In just nine days, the film has earned ₹130.5 crore worldwide, surpassing the worldwide earnings of Mohanlal's blockbuster film, ‘Lucifer.’
A Deeply Woven Narrative of Emotions and Reality
‘Thudarum’s story highlights the struggles of a middle-class individual facing common everyday challenges. His life takes an unexpected turn when his beloved car gets entangled in legal complexities. Shobhana's return alongside Mohanlal adds an emotional appeal to the film. Seeing these two veterans together on screen after two decades is a treat for the audience.
The presence of Prakash Verma, Bineesh Pappu, Thomas Mathew, Farhaan Faasil, and veteran actor Bharathiraja further enhances the film's impact. Tharun Moorthy, known for realistic films like ‘Operation Java’ and ‘Saudi Vellakka,’ maintains the same authenticity and simplicity in directing ‘Thudarum.’
