Mohanlal’s latest crime thriller, Thudarum, has made waves in the Mollywood industry by achieving a major milestone on its 18th day at the Indian box office. The film has officially entered the prestigious 100 Crore Club, cementing its place in Mollywood history alongside blockbuster hits.
Thudarum’s Journey to the 100 Crore Milestone
After an explosive third weekend at the box office, Thudarum continues to dominate weekdays with impressive collections. The film’s strong performance on Day 18 helped it join the ranks of other major Mollywood hits like Manjummel Boys and L2: Empuraan, both of which were previously the only Malayalam films to cross the 100 crore mark in India.
With a solid hold on its third Monday, Thudarum accumulated approximately ₹2.90 crores, maintaining the same momentum as its Friday performance. Despite entering weekdays, the film saw a consistent increase in occupancy levels. From a 16% occupancy in the morning, it surged to 34% in the afternoon and hit 46% for the evening shows, indicating continued audience interest.
Mohanlal’s Stellar Achievement
Thudarum‘s success also marks a historic achievement for the legendary Mohanlal, who now holds the distinction of being the first Malayalam actor to deliver two 100 crore net-gross films in the Indian market. This speaks volumes about his continued dominance and appeal in Mollywood, further solidifying his place as one of the industry’s most bankable stars.
Global Box Office Performance
Globally, Thudarum has also performed admirably, grossing an estimated ₹209.99 crore in its 18-day run. The film’s domestic earnings stand at ₹119.94 crore, with the overseas market contributing ₹90.05 crore. These figures highlight Thudarum‘s wide-reaching appeal and solid fanbase both in India and abroad.
