The Tamil film ‘Thug Life’, directed by Mani Ratnam and starring Kamal Haasan, has fought to cross the 30 crore mark at its first three days at the domestic box office. Despite a much awaited release, the film managed to earn only Rs 7.5 crore on Saturday, offering a little relief after a sharp dip in the collection on day 2.

After opening a respectable Rs 15.5 crore on day 1, the thug life saw a steep decline of 53.87 percent on 2 days, which earned just Rs 7.15 crore. Its day was flat 3 collections, the film added only Rs 7.5 crore in its total. Despite its stellar artists, the film is influenced by the mouth of lukewarm words.

According to the industry tracker Sacnilk.comThe Tamil version recorded its highest occupation on day 3 during the evening show, with a overall footfall of 39.12 percent.

On the global front, ‘Thug Life’ has allegedly earned Rs 60-65 crore worldwide by the end of day 3. This figure is compared to the previous successes of Mani Ratnam-‘Ponnian Selvan: Part 1 and Part 2’, both raised more than Rs 300–400 crore worldwide.

In the review of today’s ‘Thug Life’ of India, it is written, “Director Mani Ratnam’s ‘Thug Life’ revolved the story of the thugs-a belief, mistrust, jealousy, greed, betrayal, filled with backstabing, and what not! While the film offered justice in giving a glimpse in the life of these thugs, this is a big plan between the rivalrys and the high-handicides. Which cuts through all this.

The film also stars Trisha Krishnan, Silambaron, Aishwarya Lakesmi, Jujee George and Ali Fazal in the lead roles.
