On its opening day, Thangalaan grossed ₹13.3 crore across all languages in India, with the Tamil version contributing ₹11.7 crore. However, it saw a significant drop in collections on its second day, earning only ₹4.75 crore—a decline of 64.29% from the first day.

Competition
'Thangalaan' faces tough competition from other releases
Thangalaan faced stiff competition from other high-profile releases during its opening weekend. Films like Vedaa starring John Abraham and Khel Khel Mein featuring Akshay Kumar were among the major contenders vying for audience attention, as was Stree 2, starring Rajkummar Rao. In the South, Mr Bachchan and Double iSmart are its biggest competitors. The film is likely to spawn a sequel in the coming years.
