Due to this 'Thug Life' did not have a bumper opening at the box office, but still, it had a good start. Let's know here how many crores this film has opened with on the first day of its release.


How much did 'Thug Life' collect on the opening day

With a lot of expectations, Kamal Haasan's film 'Thug Life' hit the theaters on Friday. There was a lot of craze among the audience about the film, due to which people flocked to the theaters to watch it. However, this film was not released in Karnataka. The film got embroiled in controversies due to Kamal Haasan's Tamil-Kannada comment, due to which the makers did not release it in Karnataka. Despite this, 'Thug Life' has got a strong start. At the same time, the initial figures for the film's first day of release have also come.


According to the early trend report, 'Thug Life' has opened with 17 crores on the first day of release.


Although these are initial figures, there may be some change in them after the official data comes.


'Thug Life' could not become the biggest tamil opener of the year.

Thug Life' started well at the box office but it fell short of becoming the biggest opener of the year. Let us tell you that ajith Kumar's Good Bad Ugly is the biggest Tamil opener of 2025 with Rs 28.15 crore. At number two is Vidumurachi with Rs 25.5 crore, followed by Surya's Retro with Rs 17.25 crore. This means 'Thug Life' has become the fourth biggest tamil opener of the year.


'Thug Life' earned less than indian 2

Kamal Haasan's last theatrical release was indian 2. There was not much enthusiasm among the people about it, yet due to the sequel factor, it earned a net of 26 crores on the opening day even amidst extremely negative word-of-mouth. It is a big shock that Thug Life has earned much less than indian 2.
