Box Office Blues: ‘Thug Life’ Shows Canceled Amid Disappointing Debut

‘Thug Life,’ the collaboration between Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan, is experiencing significant challenges, with several show cancellations raising concerns about its box office performance. The film’s expected success has been overshadowed by its potential to become a major disappointment. The cancellation of the Hindi-dubbed version’s show at the MGF theatre in Gurgaon due to zero attendance exemplifies the disappointing reception. Numerous fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the film, and a well-known actor shared his feelings of betrayal. Issues stemming from casting choices and a ban in Karnataka further complicated the film’s release. Show cancellations were reported in Bihar on the opening day, indicating a weak initial performance. The film’s reception suggests both Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam may need to reconsider their approaches in future projects.
