Thug Life, a high-budget film starring Kamal Haasan and directed by Mani Ratnam, hit theatres on June 5th. This marked their reunion after 37 years. Expectations were sky-high, but the film opened to mixed and mostly negative reviews.

As a result, its box office performance on the first day wasn’t as strong as anticipated. Despite the star-studded cast and technical brilliance, the film only managed decent openings. Audience response and word of mouth played a key role in limiting the day-one earnings. The real test for Thug Life now lies in how it performs over the weekend.

Let’s have a look on 1st day collections:

Nizam	0.36 cr
Ceded	0.18 cr
Uttarandhra	0.18 cr
East	0.08 cr
West	0.06 cr
Guntur	0.12 cr
Krishna	0.14 cr
Nellore	0.05 cr
AP+Telangana	1.17 cr
Rest of India + Overseas (Telugu version)	0.12 cr
Worldwide	1.29 cr

Thug Life did a theatrical business of Rs. 12 crore in the Telugu states. To break even, the film needs to earn a share of Rs. 12.5 crore. On its first day, the movie collected a share of Rs. 1.29 crore, with a gross of Rs. 2.02 crore. This means it still has to earn Rs. 11.21 crore share to reach the break-even.
