Chiyaan Vikram’s Thangalaan was one of the most anticipated films in Kollywood. However, by the time it was released, much of the excitement had faded.
Due to repeated delays and weak marketing, the film didn’t generate much hype, which led to a negative perception.
As a result, it performed only moderately at the box office. Now, the film is back in the news because of its OTT deal with Netflix.
Directed by Pa. Ranjith, Thangalaan took a long time to complete and was made on a large budget, reportedly around 135 crores. Expectations were high for the film, but unfortunately, it didn’t do well globally.
While Vikram’s acting was appreciated, the film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. Its flaws affected its box office performance, and the worldwide gross remained below 100 crores.
After its disappointing theatrical run, fans were hoping Thangalaan would do well on OTT. However, it seems they will have to wait longer.
The film was supposed to release on Netflix last month, but it hasn’t appeared yet.
Recently, rumors have surfaced that Netflix might cancel its 35-crore deal for the film. There’s no official confirmation, so we’ll have to wait for more information.
At the Indian box office, the film made 46.15 crores net, with a global total of 71.45 crores gross.
