Thangalaan Day 1 Box Office- Vikram’s Action Fantasy Rakes in ₹12 Crore in India

Vikram’s much-anticipated action fantasy “Thangalaan” has made a strong debut at the box office, collecting ₹12 crore on its opening day in India. The film, which has been eagerly awaited by fans, saw a solid turnout on its first day in theaters. “Thangalaan,” known for its visually stunning action sequences and Vikram’s powerful performance, has attracted a significant audience, especially in South India, where the actor enjoys a massive fan following. Although the earnings of the Vikram starrer are lesser in comparison to his previous releases, especially Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: II, which earned ₹ 25 crore in its home state of Tamil Nadu alone on day 1. However, the period action-saga is expected to benefit from the extended weekend.

Apart from Vikram, Thangalaan also features Parvathy Thiruvothu, Malavika Mohanan, Pasupathy, Daniel Caltagirone, Hari Krishnan Anbudurai, Sampath Ram and others in pivotal characters. The movie is set in the backdrop of 1850 CE in Veppur village of North Arcot. The story is about a group of tribals headed by their chief, Thangalaan, employed by British officer Lord Clement to trace gold a barren area, now known as Kolar Gold Fields. During their quest, they confront the local sorceress, Aarathi, leading to a conflict between the tribal group and the mystical force. The story of Thangalaan is co-written by Tamil Prabha and Ranjith, while the latter has also co-written the screenplay along with Azhagiya Periyavan. The movie is produced by K. E. Gnanavel Raja.

Thangalaan clashed with Rajkummar Rao-Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree 2, John Abraham-Sharvari’s Vedaa, Akshay Kumar-Vaani Kapoor’s Khel Khel Mein, and Ram Pothineni and Sanjay Dutt-starrer Double iSmart releasing on the same day.
