‘Thug Life’ day 1 box office collection: Kamal Haasan’s film collects ₹17 crores on opening day

The move to not release in Karnataka has certainly affected the film’s performance, since the opening figure is far less than that of Kamal’s previous film, ‘Indian 2’

Ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s much-anticipated Tamil film Thug Life, starring Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan TR, collected ₹17 crores on its opening day, June 5, at the Indian box office. The film arrived in theatres with sky-high expectations, especially since it marked a reunion between Mani and Kamal after 38 years.
