Thudarum box office collection day 19:There seems to be no stopping Tharun Moorthy’s Mohanlal and Sobhana-starrer Thudarum. After edging out 2018 to become the highest-grossing Malayalam film in Kerala, Thudarum made history by becoming the first film to gross ₹100 crore in its home state.

Thudarum box office collection

Mohanlal announced the news that Thudarum grossed ₹100 crore in Kerala on his Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), writing, “#Thudarum storms into the record books with its first 100 crore mark exclusively at the Kerala box office! A milestone that we created together! Thank you, Kerala.” The poster declares, “A new chapter in Kerala box office history. ₹100 crore Kerala gross.”

For context, 2018 was the highest-grossing film in Kerala so far, and it had earned ₹83.31 crore net in Malayalam, collecting ₹110.53 crore gross in India in its lifetime run. Thudarum has brought in ₹104 crore net in India in 19 days, according to Sacnilk. It made ₹208 crore worldwide in 18 days and has yet to beat Mohanlal’s own L2 Empuraan and Manjummel Boys to become the highest-grossing Malayalam film ever.
