Cinema VinesOn its fifth day of release, the Malayalam thriller Thudakkam has maintained a steady performance at the Indian box office. The Vismaya Mohanlal‑starrer, directed by Jude Anthany Joseph, earned an estimated ₹1.61 crore net in India on Tuesday, August 11, a slight uptick from the ₹1.60 crore net reported on Monday. With 1,136 shows running that day and an occupancy of about 30%, the film’s earnings have remained virtually unchanged as it moves into the middle of its first week.
After five days, Thudakkam has accumulated an estimated ₹13.61 crore net in India and a gross of roughly ₹15.79 crore. Overseas markets have contributed an additional ₹12.90 crore to the film’s total, bringing the worldwide gross to an estimated ₹28.69 crore. The movie opened on Friday, August 7, with an India net of ₹2.55 crore. Its first weekend saw a stronger response: Saturday brought in ₹3.60 crore and Sunday delivered the highest single‑day collection yet at ₹4.25 crore.
Following the weekend, the film’s earnings dipped to ₹1.60 crore on Monday, and the marginal increase to ₹1.61 crore on Tuesday indicates a stable but modest performance. Thudakkam is currently in its first week of theatrical run, with Wednesday, August 12, marking Day 6 and its collections still being tracked.
