Tamil film Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil took a modest start at the box office. The Jiiva starrer political satire film kick-started its box office journey with Rs. 1.50 crore gross in India. Though the opening isn’t very explosive, it reflects a controlled release strategy. Released on January 15 on the occasion of Pongal, Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil has the potential to emerge as a surprise at the box office.
It is expected to grow over the weekend, as the word-of-mouth is very positive. Social media users have already started calling it the Pongal winner. It will be interesting to see whether the movie will be able to convert its positive reception into footfalls or not. However, the movie is facing tough competition with other releases- Parasakthi, Vaa Vaathiyaar, and others. If the movie manages to hold strong over the weekend and then after the festive period, it will emerge as a successful venture.
Directed by Nithish Sahadev of Falimy fame, the latest Tamil release is centered on deep-rooted family tensions during a community festival, forcing the protagonist to navigate feuds and protect his family.
