#ThugLifeReview (2025) : KH-Trisha love portions r Dull. STR, Abirami Neat. Songs gud. Delhi landscape visuals super. Weak Story, No emotions, No twists; Unexciting & Draggy Narratin. DISAPPOINTMENT!

Cinema,Politics& Family ~ FAILED!

#ThugLife ~ Turd Life 💩 Predictable gangster saga by Mani Ratnam with an Outdated story by Kamal Haasan & an Ineffective score by ARR. What works is the good De-aging work in the beginning, and the rest is big blunder.🥱👎 (1☆/5) pic.twitter.com/gpU7hin9k1— Prince Prithvi (@PrincePrithvi) June 5, 2025

#ThugLife set to dominate the box office this weekend- Without an ounce of doubt, Thug Life will be the 1st choice for moviegoers this weekend in South India. Since #PawanKalyan ’s #HariHaraVeeraMallu is postponed, Film has a bright chance to do well at the Tollywood box office. pic.twitter.com/108H87PUUE

Thug Life is directed by Mani Ratnam. It’s predicted that the film could earn over ₹40 crore on its opening day, potentially creating a sensation at the box office. However, the reviews on X suggest otherwise. Note that the film features Kamal Haasan in bold scenes with the younger actress Trisha Krishnan, leading to considerable controversy and online trolling. It remains to be seen how the film performs over the weekend.
