Thudarum 1st weekend box office: Mohanlal-led thriller clocks Rs 70 crore world-wide gross
null | 2 Views
Malayalam superstar Mohanlal’s had a good start to 2025, after a disastrous 2024 that included duds like Malaikottai Vaaliban and his directorial debut, Barroz. He kicked off 2025 with L2 Empuraan, the much-awaited sequel to Lucifer , which came out on March 27 and made around Rs 300 crore world wide. The film dropped on OTT within a month, making its way to JioHotstar on April 24.
A day later, on April 25, the Malayalam superstar had his next film in theatres. This time around, it was a ‘family drama’ directed by Tharun Moorthy, who’d made Operation Java and the National Award winning Saudi Vellakka earlier. Thought to be a film with Drishyam vibes, Thudarum turned out to be a thriller, but one that had fans going ga-ga over Mohanlal’s performance, exclaiming that the OG Mohanlal was back.
Thudarum inching closer to the Rs 100 cr mark
With such overwhelmingly positive reports, it is, no wonder, that Thudarum had an impressive start to its box office journey, raking in Rs 28.25 crore in its all-India gross over the first 3 days, of which, around Rs 24 crore came from Kerala and Rs 3 crore from Karnataka. The rest of India collections have not been earth-shattering, especially in AP/Telangana, which also got a Telugu version release.

In the international market, Thudarum, according to trackers, has made Rs 40-41 cr, taking its world-wide first weekend total to a tad under Rs 70 crore. The film is expected to make it to the Rs 100 crore club by May 1, after which the film is likely to have a dip in collections, given that multiple big-ticket films – Retro, HIT 3, Raid 2 – are heading to theatres.
