The film’s initial reception was modest, but strong word of mouth and glowing reviews helped push ‘Thangalaan’ into the spotlight. In fact, the Hindi version is now showing in 150 additional screens compared to its first week, a significant boost that reflects the rising interest in the film.
Viewers and critics alike have been praising the movie’s gripping narrative, which takes inspiration from real events surrounding the discovery and exploitation of the Kolar Gold Fields by the British.
Exhibitor Akshay Rathi noted, “Although ‘Thangalaan’ had a limited release in the North, it’s growing steadily thanks to positive word of mouth. The film is capturing more attention with each passing day.”
Directed by Pa. Ranjith, the movie stars the ever-charismatic Chiyaan Vikram alongside Malavika Mohanan, both delivering memorable performances. Set against the backdrop of British colonialism, ‘Thangalaan’ explores the dark history of the Kolar Gold Fields, continuing the South Indian film industry’s trend of introducing audiences to fresh, bold concepts.
With music by G.V. Prakash Kumar adding to the film’s impact, ‘Thangalaan’ has already crossed the 100 crore mark at the South Indian box office. The success of the Hindi version only reinforces the growing influence of South Indian cinema in other parts of India. What started as a regional hit is now well on its way to becoming a nationwide sensation.
