'Thudarum' Beats 'Empuraan' To Emerge The Second Biggest Malayalam Grosser At The Domestic Box Office

Kochi, May 16 - Superstar Mohanlal has outdone himself to reign supreme at the box office as his latest sensation Thudarum has outgrossed his recent blockbuster L2: Empuraan to emerge as the second biggest Malayalam grosser domestically.

Directed by Tharun Moorthy, Thudarum has grossed approximately 125 crores at the Indian box office in 21 days so far, outgrossing the entire domestic run of Empuraan (124.50 crores approx) to emerge as the number 2 grosser. Manjummel Boys remains the number 1 with 167.50 crores gross in India.



Thudarum had earlier become the first movie ever to top 100 crore gross collection in Kerala state. It has been a one-horse race ever since it was released on April 25. The consistently strong day-wise performance of the movie took it past 200 crores worldwide as the third Malayalam title to achieve the feat after Empuraan (267 crores) and Manjummel Boys (241 crores), and the second fastest to do so.

In 21 days, the movie has minted approximately 215 crores worldwide, including around 90 crores at the overseas box office. It is expected to pick up again this weekend as it seems to be heading towards becoming the second biggest Mollywood grosser and might be number 1 if it maintains the consistency.
