The period action drama 'Thangalaan', directed by Pa Ranjith and starring Chiyaan Vikram, was released on August 15 and has received positive reviews. The film, based on the tribal people's history during the British Raj in the Kolar Gold Fields, opened with impressive box office earnings of Rs 13 crore on its first day, eventually grossing around Rs 35 crore in India and Rs 75 crore globally within its first week. Strong performances and engaging storytelling have contributed to its commercial success, though it faced competition from other films. Despite a decline in daily collections after the opening weekend, 'Thangalaan' maintained a decent occupancy rate, particularly in Tamil Nadu. The film's music by GV Prakash Kumar has also been highlighted as a significant aspect of its appeal. The film's team has expressed gratitude for the audience's support and has hinted at the possibility of a sequel.
