Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil Shows Strong Growth in Kerala on Day 4
Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil, starring Jiiva in the lead role, is steadily gaining momentum at the Kerala box office. Released on January 15 as a Pongal special, the film has shown an encouraging upward trend over its first four days, reflecting growing audience interest and positive word of mouth in the region.
The film opened to a modest start in Kerala, collecting around ₹10 lakhs over Day 1 and Day 2 combined. While the initial numbers were conservative, trade circles noted decent occupancy in select centers, especially during evening and weekend shows. The real growth phase began from Day 3, when the film witnessed a noticeable jump and collected ₹20 lakhs, indicating improved traction among family audiences and fans of Jiiva.
The most impressive surge came on Day 4, with the film registering ₹30 lakhs gross in Kerala alone. This sharp rise clearly points to strong word of mouth and increased footfalls, particularly in urban centers and key B and C markets.
With this,
Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil has accumulated a total four-day gross of ₹60 lakhs in Kerala, a respectable figure for a Pongal release with steady growth rather than a front-loaded opening.
Jiiva’s performance has been receiving appreciation, especially for its emotional depth and relatability, which seems to be resonating well with the Kerala audience.
The festive release window has also worked in the film’s favor, as holiday crowds and family viewers continue to support theatrical outings during Pongal. The film’s content-driven narrative appears to be its biggest strength, helping it build collections day by day.
Trade analysts believe that if the film maintains this momentum and sustains decent occupancy through the weekdays, it could end its first week on a strong note in Kerala. The consistent growth pattern suggests that Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil may enjoy a healthy theatrical run, especially if positive audience feedback continues.
Overall, the film’s Kerala box office performance so far highlights how strong content and word of mouth can gradually push a film forward, even without an explosive opening. All eyes are now on its weekday hold and second-weekend performance to see how far this upward trend can go.
