Mohanlal’s latest release Thudarum is creating a box office sensation with its phenomenal performance. Blending family drama with crime elements, the film has struck a chord with audiences, leading to exceptional word-of-mouth and strong collections. Directed by Tharun Moorthy, the movie opened with an impressive Rs 5.10 crore and closed its first weekend with Rs 20.30 crore gross in Kerala alone.
Its momentum only grew stronger over the weekdays, pushing its first-week Kerala gross to a massive Rs 47 crore. This rapid rise has already earned Thudarum the All-Time Blockbuster tag within a week. Impressively, it is now poised to surpass the lifetime earnings of 2023’s Malayalam hits Neru (Rs 47.70 crore) and Bheeshma Parvam (Rs 47.10 crore).
On the global front, Thudarum has clocked Rs 12 crore from the rest of India and a staggering Rs 60 crore overseas, bringing its total first-week worldwide gross to Rs 119 crore. This marks the second-highest opening week for a Malayalam film, just behind Empuraan. With sustained audience interest and strong occupancies into its second week, Thudarum is on track to cross the Rs 150 crore mark soon and is heading confidently towards the Rs 200 crore milestone.
