Overview

  • Thammudu has netted approximately Rs 5.7 crore in India and under Rs 1.5 crore overseas, amounting to about 7 percent recovery of its Rs 75 crore budget.
  • Distributors are poised to lose more than Rs 20 crore after the film’s worldwide breakeven point of Rs 25 crore went unmet.
  • Critics cited a faltering screenplay and clichéd pacing that led to steep box office declines from day one.
  • This marks Nithiin’s fourth consecutive post-COVID theatrical failure, intensifying scrutiny on his future projects.
  • Producers secured an early streaming window with Netflix after Amazon Prime Video withdrew, with the film set to debut on the platform in late July.
