Chiyaan Vikram's big-budget film Thangalaan was released on Independence Day and has already grossed Rs 12.6 crore at the box office. Fans have compared the film's theme of gold hunting in the Kolar Gold Fields to that of the successful KGF franchise and many have dubbed Thangalaan as the 'real KGF'. Director Pa Ranjith has incorporated real-life incidents into the story, making the film even more intriguing. Despite facing competition from other films, Thangalaan has recorded an impressive occupancy rate of 71.64 per cent in Tamil shows and has earned rave reviews from critics.
The latest release starring Vikram, "Thangalaan" directed by Pa Ranjith, made an impact at the box office with an opening collection of Rs 12.6 crore across three languages - Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. Despite competition from other releases such as "Mr Bachchan" and "Double iSmart" in Telugu and "Demonte Colony" and "Raghu Thatha" in Tamil, "Thangalaan" managed to maintain a good occupancy rate of 71.64 percent in Tamil and 81.5 percent in Chennai. The success of the film proves a strong opening for Vikram's career and solidifies the film's position as one of the top releases in the current box office race.
Director Pa Ranjith's latest film 'Thangalaan' is a blend of myth, magic, and themes of oppression and inequality. Set in the Kolar Gold Fields in the 1800s, it follows the story of Thangalaan and his family as they fight against the upper class and the British rulers. Despite its interesting premise and brilliant performances, the film falls short due to its slow pace and convoluted storyline.
The highly anticipated film 'Thangalaan' starring Vikram has faced some hurdles during its production. Director Pa. Ranjith recently revealed that the climax had to be reshot, causing inconvenience to the actors, especially Vikram who had sustained a hip injury while filming a stunt scene. However, Ranjith commended Vikram's dedication and apologized for troubling him. Vikram also praised co-star Malavika Mohanan for her commitment and the English actor Daniel for performing fight scenes despite recovering from multiple surgeries. The audience can catch this exciting film and more on the Manorama Online App.
The highly-anticipated trailer for Thangalaan, starring Vikram and directed by Pa Ranjith, was finally released. With the promise of a visually stunning cinematic experience, the trailer showcases themes of oppression and resistance within a historical context. Ranjith, known for his hard-hitting socio-political dramas, seems to have outdone himself with this ambitious project. Despite facing multiple delays, Thangalaan is expected to be a box office success and sweep major awards upon its release on August 15, perfectly coinciding with India's Independence Day. Its release date was finalized after the postponement of Pushpa 2, which had originally reserved the holiday for its release.
