The film 'Thangalaan', starring Chiyaan Vikram and directed by Pa Ranjith, premiered on August 15 and has garnered a significant box office collection, surpassing Rs 52 crore globally in its first three days. Despite a sharp decline on its second day, the film rebounded on Saturday, showing strong performance both domestically and internationally. The movie has been praised for its potent message about exploitation in the Kolar Gold Fields, though it has received mixed reviews regarding its execution. Vikram, pleased with the film's reception in both Tamil and Telugu-speaking regions, has announced a sequel due to the positive audience response. 'Thangalaan' continues to face competition from other films but maintains a strong presence in theaters, with an upcoming North India release expected to further boost its earnings. The film's success is further complemented by Vikram's appreciation for the audience's support and acknowledgment of co-actor Malavika Mohanan's contributions during the promotional tour.
