Mohanlal has once more solidified his reputation as the unofficial monarch of Malayalam cinema, with his latest release, Thudarum, achieving tremendous commercial success. Directed by Tharun Moorthy, the film has struck gold at the box office, raking in an impressive ₹17.3 crore within just three days of its theatrical debut — a figure that continues to grow steadily.
A Spectacular Opening
According to early data from trade tracking firm Sacnilk, this fantasy drama kicked off its journey with a strong ₹5.25 crore collection on day one. Building on its initial momentum, the film witnessed a remarkable surge on its second day, amassing ₹8.96 crore, followed by another ₹3.13 crore haul on day three. Notably, the Malayalam version has been spearheading these numbers, while the Telugu dubbed version has contributed modestly to the overall tally.
Fueled by enthusiastic word-of-mouth promotion and widespread critical acclaim, Thudarum is poised for a robust weekend run and likely even longer box office dominance. The widespread appreciation underscores Mohanlal’s enduring ability to captivate massive audiences and reaffirms his legendary standing in the industry.
An Emotional Thank You from Mohanlal
Deeply moved by the extraordinary response, Mohanlal took to social media to express his heartfelt gratitude. “I am filled with immense appreciation and feel truly blessed by the overwhelming love and support that Thudarum has received,” he wrote. “Every message, every expression of kindness has touched me more profoundly than I can describe. This sense of gratitude belongs not only to me but to everyone who stood by me during this journey.”
Adding to the film’s emotional resonance, Thudarum also garnered a special jury award for its exceptional makeup artistry. Actor Dhanush, clearly moved, penned a touching note of thanks, expressing his deep appreciation to director Tharun Moorthy, producer M. Renjith, co-writer K.R. Sunil, and fellow actors Shobana Ma and Binu Pappu. He also acknowledged the contributions of cinematographer Prakash Varma and the talented prosthetic makeup team, celebrating the collective effort that brought the film’s world to life.
A Reunion Two Decades in the Making
Thudarum marks the long-awaited reunion of Mohanlal and Shobana, reuniting on screen after more than twenty years since their last collaboration in Mambazhakalam (2004). The story follows a devoted family man whose life is thrown into disarray when he finds himself entangled in a complicated legal dispute over a car accident. The film also features a strong ensemble cast, including Farhaan Faasil, Thomas Mathew, Bharathiraja, and Prakash Varma, each adding depth to the narrative.
With its compelling storyline, powerful performances, and technical brilliance, Thudarum not only signals a triumphant return for two beloved actors but also reinforces Mohanlal’s timeless connection with his audience — a bond that continues to thrive with every new chapter of his illustrious career.
