Thunivu directed by H Vinoth and starring Ajith, Manju Warrier, and Samuthirakani, was released for the occasion on January 11 and dominated the box office on the first day. 'Thunivu,' which opened to positive reviews, had average occupancy on day two but recovered on day three on Friday. At the end of Day 3, Ajith's film with H Vinoth falls short of Rs 100 crores. The box office collection for 'Thunivu' in Tamil Nadu is estimated to be around Rs 46 crores, and the domestic collection is estimated to be between Rs 65 and 70 crores. The film's overseas earnings increased its total, but it still falls far short of Rs 100 crores.
'Thunivu' has reportedly earned approximately Rs 93 crores at the global box office as of the end of day 3, and the action drama is on a roll with solid weekend bookings. After defeating Vijay's 'Varisu' on the first day in Tamil Nadu, Ajith's film managed to fail to monopolize at the box office, as the former's family drama gained an advantage.
The action drama 'Thunivu' is set inside a bank and sends a message about scams in the banking industry. H Vinoth's third film with Ajith is more successful than their previous collaboration, and the lead actor chose to play a villain to impress fans. Ghibran's first music for Ajith worked well, and Manju Warrier, Samuthirakani, and Mohana Sundaram all look good in their respective roles.
