The movie Thug Life turned out to be a big disappointment at the box office.
In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, it earned only Rs 1.5 crore gross, which is very low compared to the Rs 12 crore or more that the Telugu distributors spent on it.
Across the whole country, the film has made just Rs 17 crore so far. This means it still needs to earn a lot more money to even break even.
Even a big star like Kamal Haasan wasn’t able to attract enough viewers this time. It seems that the special touch Mani Ratnam used to bring to his films is losing its charm.
The movie has not lived up to the expectations of fans or the investment made, making it a clear failure.
With such poor earnings, it looks like the film will struggle to recover its costs and could become a major setback for everyone involved.
The poor word-of-mouth and weak audience response have further hurt its chances, making the future uncertain for this project.
