'Thug Life' is a movie directed by mani ratnam and starring a huge star cast including kamal haasan, Simbu, Trisha, Abhirami, Joju George, ashok Selvan, and Nasser. The movie created huge expectations as mani ratnam and Kamal were together after 38 years. The movie was made in five languages - Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, kannada and Hindi. The movie was not released in karnataka due to the kannada language controversy. The movie was released in the other four languages on june 5. But the film did not perform as well as expected. Fans commented that the screenplay was very bad. Despite the film crew's intensive promotional work for the film, nothing worked. While the film had collected good collections on the first day alone, it suffered a huge decline on the next day. While the film's teaser and trailer were all very well received, fans had developed an imagination about the film in their minds. But when the film was released, fans were very disappointed because the film did not perform as well as they had imagined.
While ‘Thug Life’ had shown mass in pre-booking, the film collected Rs.15.5 crore on the first day. On the second day, it collected Rs.7.15 crore, on the third day, Rs.7.75 crore, on the fourth day, Rs.6.5 crore, and on the fifth day, it collected only Rs.3.25 crore. At the end of 5 days, it collected only about Rs.40 crore in India. Film critics commented that this was less than the collection of ‘Indian 2’. This film is a prime example of how even if the star status, huge budget, cast, director, etc. are all great, a film will not run if the screenplay is not good.

In this situation, it has been reported that the movie ‘Thug Life’ will be released on OTT soon. It is customary for a movie to be released on OTT eight weeks after its release in theaters. kamal haasan had announced that this movie will also be released in the same way. However, due to bad reviews and low collections, it is expected that this movie will be released on the Netflix OTT platform soon. It is said that the official information regarding this will be released soon.
