Mohanlal’s Thudarum is continuing it’s strong run at the box office. Released on April 25, 2025, the Tharun Moorthy-directorial opened to positive reviews from critics and fans alike.

On April 30, 2025, the makers announced that the movie has achieved a special milestone. The Malayalam revenge drama has entered the ₹100 crore club at the box office. The movie has grossed ₹100 crore worldwide within 6 days of its release, according to the makers.

Thudarum is produced by M Renjith under the banner Rejaputhra Visual Media. It is presented by Antony Perumbavur’s Aashirvad Cinemas. The movie also stars Shobana, Binu Pappu and Prakash Varma in prominent roles.

Thudarum becomes the second Mohanlal film after L2: Empuraan to breach the ₹100 crore mark in 2025. Empuraan, a sequel to the 2019 political action drama Lucifer, was directed by actor Prithviraj Sukumaran. Despite courting controversy over “harming religious sentiments”, the big-budget movie managed to enjoy a decent run at the box office.

Thudarum piqued the interest of fans ever since it was announced that Mohanlal would be reuniting with his hit co-star Shobana in the movie. The duo has worked in more than 50 movies.

The movie has been praised by fans for bringing back the performer Mohanlal after a lengthy gap. The Hindu review of the film says, “Thudarum, despite its flaws, is a finely-crafted film with the right emotional beats. The open-ended title, which appears after the actor’s name in the closing credits, in a way hints there is much more left for the actor to do.”
