Thudarum to record a good day 1 collection!
In Kerala alone, Thudarum closed its day 1 advance booking at above 2.30 crore gross, registering 2025’s second-best pre-sales in the state for Mollywood after L2: Empuraan. Even on BookMyShow, the response has been impressive so far. So, a good score is locked for the day.
As we shared in our prediction story, Thudarum aims for a start of 4 crores or above. With this, it will comfortably emerge as the second biggest opening at the Indian box office for Mollywood in 2025. As of now, L2: Empuraan is the top opener with 21 crore net. Bazooka’s 3.20 crore net holds the second spot.
The Mohanlal starrer will easily cross Bazooka today and grab the second biggest Malayalam opening of the year.
