‘Thug Life’ stormed into cinemas with sky-high expectations, uniting Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam after decades. But after three days, the gangster drama has collected just over Rs 31 crore in India. Despite the all-star cast and the maestro A.R. Rahman on music, the film’s box office journey has been more rollercoaster than rocket.

The film features Kamal Haasan as Shaktivel (Shakti) and Silambarasan TR as Amar, supported by Trisha Krishnan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, Sanya Malhotra, and Mahesh Manjrekar. With a lineup like this, every frame is packed with talent.
Review & Ratings
According to critics, Kamal Haasan’s commanding performance and Mani Ratnam’s signature style are worthwhile in ‘Thug Life’. The first half is packed with action and clever twists, but the second half leaves the movie undercooked. A.R. Rahman’s music elevates the mood, and the super cast delivers solid support for the story. But it doesn’t reach the heights of their past classics. The movie is an entertaining, visually rich gangster drama for fans of the genre and star power.
The movie has got 4.3 out of 10 on the movie rating platform IMDb, with more than 2k ratings. On the other hand, it got 5 star out of 10 on the book my show platform, with more than 17k reviews.
