Jiiva’s latest release, Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil, continues to maintain a consistent run at the box office even as it enters its second week. On Day 10, which fell on a Saturday, the film saw a noticeable uptick in collections, estimated at around ₹1.50 crore in Indian gross, benefiting from weekend footfall despite competition from other releases. This represents a positive trend following a slight dip during the mid-week period, indicating sustained audience interest driven by positive word-of-mouth.
Early estimates for Day 11, a Sunday, suggest the film could collect approximately ₹1.80 crore in Indian gross, based on morning show trends and advance bookings in key regions like Tamil Nadu. While the Pongal holiday boost has tapered off, the film’s family-friendly comedy and political satire elements appear to be drawing steady crowds, particularly in urban centers. Industry trackers note that occupancy levels hovered around 20-25% in morning slots across major cities, with expectations of higher turnout in evening shows.
Overall, the movie has demonstrated resilience in a competitive landscape, crossing the ₹24 crore mark in Indian gross collections within 10 days. With no major new releases clashing immediately, Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil is positioned for further growth over the weekend, potentially pushing its total closer to profitability thresholds as it appeals to a broad demographic.
