This film was made on a huge budget of Rs 200 crore, despite starring a superstar this film is considered as the biggest disaster film of 2025. You'll be shocked to know the director's name.
In 2025, many films flopped at the box office, including some big-budget films. The list of flop films includes Game Changer, Azad, Deva, and many others. Meanwhile, a film made at a high cost also flopped badly at the box office. Considered the biggest disaster of 2025, this mega-budget film failed to recover its budget despite a renowned filmmaker and a top actor’s collaboration.
The film we are talking about is Thug Life. It is an action-thriller film made in the Tamil language.
Kamal Haasan has played the lead role in it. Even at the age of 70, his acting is unmatched. He brings life to every character with his acting. However, his magic faded in Thug Life.
Apart from Kamal Haasan, stars like Trisha Krishnan, Silambarasan TR, Mahesh Manjrekar, Abhirami, Nassar, Ashok Selvan, and Ali Fazal are seen in important roles in this big-budget film. Whereas Sanya Malhotra has only a dance number in the film.
The story of Thug Life revolves around Rangaraya Shakthivel, played by Kamal Haasan. Rangaraya Shakthivel is shown as a don in the film, whose own people become his enemies. After being betrayed, Rangaraya decides to take revenge on his enemies.
The film has been directed by Mani Ratnam, who has made many popular films so far. But in terms of story, the film Thug Life failed, and this is the reason why the audience rejected Kamal Haasan’s film in one go.
The lack of audience in theatres had a huge impact on the business of Thug Life. This movie was made at a high cost, but its earnings were a far cry; the film could not even recover its cost at the box office. Due to this, the makers had to suffer a huge loss.
About 200 crore rupees were spent on the making of Kamal Haasan’s film Thug Life. The situation at the box office is such that the earnings of ‘Thug Life’ have started shrinking to millions. According to the report of Saccanilk, the film has done a business of Rs 75 lakh on the 9th day, Rs 9 lakh on the 10th day, Rs 9 lakh on the 11th day, and Rs 29 lakh on the 12th day in India.
