Cinema VinesVismaya Mohanlal’s debut as a lead in Jude Anthany Joseph’s thriller Thudakkam is gaining momentum at the Kerala box office. The film opened in theatres on August 7 and, by the early afternoon of Sunday, August 9, the third day of its run, had surpassed the ₹2.70 crore mark in tracked gross, according to industry tracker AB George on X. This figure eclipses Saturday’s tracked gross of ₹2.10 crore, showing a clear uptick in Sunday business.
With the day still in progress, the final Day 3 Kerala collection is expected to rise further as more shows conclude. The complete weekend tally will be confirmed once Sunday’s theatrical run finishes. Thudakkam continues to draw audiences with its tense narrative of a young woman confronting an unexpected threat and the resilience required to survive.
The film features a strong ensemble cast, including veteran actor Mohanlal, Aashish Joe Antony, Bobby Kurian, Sai Kumar, Manoj K. Jayan, K. B. Ganesh Kumar, Jaffar Idukki, and others. Directed by Jude Anthany Joseph and written with Akhil Krishna and Linish Nellikkal, the story blends thriller elements with themes of difficult choices and their consequences.
Produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the Aashirvad Cinemas banner, the technical crew boasts Jakes Bejoy on music, Akhil George and Jomon T. John on cinematography, and Chaman Chakko as editor. Additional contributors include Sudeep Elamon (additional cinematography), Santhosh Raman (production design), Vishnu Govind (sound design), Arun Manohar (costume design), Jithesh Poyya (makeup), Yannick Ben and Stunt Silva (action choreography), and VFX teams Mindstein Studios and Trilok.
Released worldwide on August 7, Thudakkam is now in the final stretch of its opening weekend. The Day 3 Kerala figure will provide a clearer picture of the film’s overall opening‑weekend performance once Sunday’s business concludes.
