There’s no stopping Thudarum, Mohanlal’s latest blockbuster that continues its strong run at the box office. So far, the film has managed to make Rs 90 crore nett in India and its worldwide gross collection currently stands at Rs 190 crore, as per industry tracker Sacnilk. The film is just Rs 15 crore short of crossing Empuraan’s nett domestic collection. The Prithviraj directorial, which also starred Mohanlal, earned Rs 105 crore nett in India.
Thudarum earned Rs 3.25 crore on Friday. The producers of the film claimed that Thudarum is now the “highest grossing movie in Kerala” of all time. The 15th day also saw a gradual increase in theatre occupancy through the day, starting with 14.79% during morning shows and rising to 31.67% in the afternoon, 45.33% in the evening, and peaking at 58.21% by night. Cities like Kottayam, Kollam, and Thrissur reported the highest occupancy rates, highlighting the film’s sustained momentum at the local level.

Although Thudarum still trails behind Mohanlal’s own L2: Empuraan, it marks his second major box office success of 2025 — signaling a strong comeback after a series of underwhelming performances since Lucifer in 2019. The film has been widely praised as one of India’s finest revenge thrillers in recent times. Critics have lauded its strong narrative, high production values, and powerful performances — drawing comparisons to the Drishyam franchise for its emotional depth and gripping storytelling.
The film follows the story of Shanmugham, a taxi driver deeply attached to his black Ambassador car. When the vehicle mysteriously goes missing, it triggers a dramatic shift in his personality, setting off a gripping search that explores deeper layers of his character and the past.
