‘Chiyaan’ Vikram’s period drama Thangalaan opened to positive reviews from critics and audiences in general. Expectedly, it collected a solid INR 50 crore worldwide (INR 27.5 crore in Tamil Nadu alone).
While experts predicted it would have a decent hold on its first Monday, unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Yes, Thangalaan witnessed a big drop today, thus minimizing its chances of minting a worldwide gross of INR 100 crore.
Considering today’s figures and tomorrow’s advance bookings, the film is expected to make a lifetime gross of INR 75 crore, thereby ending up as an average venture. G. V. Prakash Kumar has composed the film’s tunes, which also feature Malavika Mohanan as the female lead. Thangalaan is co-written and directed by Tamil filmmaker Pa Ranjith of Kabali and Kala fame.
