Thug Life Box Office Performance Affected by Controversy
Kamal Haasan's new movie, 'Thug Life,' came out recently but didn't do as well at the box office as expected.
The movie had some problems because of comments Kamal Haasan made, especially in Karnataka, where the movie wasn't even shown.
On the first day, the movie made ₹15.5 crore, but the money it made went down afterward.
Over three days, it made a total of ₹30.15 crore.
The movie did not do as well as Indian 2.
