According to trade reports, Thudarum has earned significant numbers on Day 1, reaffirming Mohanlal’s status as one of the most bankable stars in the Malayalam film industry.
Released across numerous theatres in Kerala and other key markets, Thudarum witnessed exceptional occupancy rates from morning shows itself. The film’s gripping storyline, Mohanlal’s stellar performance, and strong direction have played key roles in attracting audiences in large numbers. Industry insiders suggest that the Day 1 collections have comfortably crossed ₹6 crore, placing it only behind L2: Empuraan in terms of opening day figures.
