Thudaram, starring Malayalam cinema legend Mohanlal, hit theatres on April 25 and has been on a winning streak ever since. The gripping crime drama, directed by Tharun Moorthy, has struck a chord with audiences and critics alike for its rich emotional depth, suspense-filled narrative, and masterful performances.
Fans who were previously let down by L2: Empuraan are now delighted, as Thudaram delivers a powerful cinematic experience. The film features Mohanlal in a heartwarming and intense role, supported by a remarkable performance from Shobhana. The story begins with a humble taxi driver deeply attached to his vintage Ambassador car. As challenges mount, the plot unravels his struggle to protect what he values most, drawing viewers into a world of sentiment, mystery, and moral conflict.
The movie recorded a spectacular opening, grossing ₹28 crore in India during its first three days, with ₹20 crore of that from Kerala alone. On the international front, Thudaram raked in an impressive ₹41.5 crore, bringing its global total to ₹69.5 crore. With momentum showing no signs of slowing, it is poised to enter the coveted ₹100 crore club within its first week.
This makes Thudaram the second-highest opening weekend earner in Mollywood, trailing only Mohanlal’s own L2: Empuraan (₹174 crore in four days). The combination of an emotionally rich plot and thrilling direction is positioning Thudaram as a major cinematic highlight of 2025.
