Box Office: Thudarum becomes 4th biggest Malayalam opener in overseas markets; Mohanlal dominates Top 6 list

Mohanlal’s latest release Thudarum is going bonkers at the box office. Billed as a family drama, the movie directed by Tharun Moorthy is winning over the hearts of the audience in cinemas. The Malayalam movie has taken a banger start in overseas markets, becoming one of Mohanlal’s best openers.

Thudarum clocked over USD 1.25 million on its opening day in the international markets. The movie emerged as the fourth biggest opener in Malayalam cinema in foreign territories. Interestingly, the family drama surpassed the opening day collections of Mohanlal’s blockbuster movie Lucifer (2019) overseas. 

Among the top 6 biggest overseas openers of Malayalam cinema, five movies belong to Lalettan—an incredible record for any Indian actor. While L2 Empuraan rules the top spot with a historic opening of USD 5.01 million, the second spot is grabbed by Marakkar (USD 1.66 million, incl. previews). The third spot is secured by Dq Salmaan’s Kurup, which opened with USD 1.62 million, incl. previews—the only non-Mohanlal movie in the list.

Further, the fourth, fifth, and sixth spots belong to Thudarum, Lucifer, and Odiyan, respectively. Take a look at the list below.
