Superstar Mohanlal has once again delivered a massive box office hit with his latest Malayalam thriller, Thudarum. The Thudarum box office collection has officially crossed the 100 crore mark globally within just six days of release, making it one of the fastest Malayalam films ever to achieve this feat. Directed by Tharun Moorthy, the film has taken the industry by surprise, especially considering the initial lukewarm buzz surrounding its release

 

Despite modest expectations, the Mohanlal-starrer Thudarum has turned out to be a juggernaut at the box office. The film’s gripping storyline, powerful performances, and excellent word of mouth have contributed to its phenomenal performance both domestically and internationally.

 

A Closer Look at Thudarum Box Office Collection

 

In just five days, the Thudarum box office collection had reached approximately ₹95 crores worldwide. As of the sixth day, the film has entered the elite 100 crore club. This includes:

  • Domestic Gross: ₹44 crores

  • Overseas Gross: ₹51+ crores

 

This box office triumph makes Thudarum the 11th Malayalam film to cross 100 crores globally, and remarkably, it is the fourth film for Mohanlal to achieve this milestone. It also becomes the second fastest Malayalam film to cross 100 crores, following Empuraan, which achieved the feat in just 2 days.

 

Mohanlal Continues His Box Office Dominance

 

The remarkable success of the Thudarum box office collection adds another blockbuster to Mohanlal’s already illustrious career. With Thudarum, he reinforces his dominance as a pan-Indian superstar whose appeal cuts across language and geography.

 

This is Mohanlal’s fourth film to gross over ₹100 crores worldwide, putting him in an elite league of Indian actors. Notably, Empuraan — another Mohanlal-starrer — remains the highest-grossing Malayalam movie ever, with over ₹265 crores in global earnings.
