According to Sacnilk, 'Thug Life' earned approximately Rs 90 lakh on Day 10, which makes its total domestic collection to be around Rs 45.65 crore. The drop in numbers has been consistent since its opening day. The film had a strong start, collecting Rs 15.5 crore on Day 1, but since then, the momentum has not been sustained.

The film earned an estimated Rs 44 crore in week 1, but the second weekend hasn't helped much in reviving the film's box office prospects. Tamil Nadu remains the film's primary contributor, but even there, footfalls are thinning.

On Saturday, the film recorded an overall Tamil occupancy of 23.10%, with night shows peaking at 29.09%, and morning shows dipping as low as 15.5%.

Apart from Kamal Haasan the film also stars Trisha Krishnan, T.R. Silambarasan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, and Mahesh Manjrekar in key roles.

On Twitter, fans shared their honest reactions to the film. While netizens enjoyed the powerful and energetic performance by Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan TR, the fans also mentioned the screenplay lacked impact and fell below expectations.

The second half of the film was criticized for inconsistent writing and pacing issues and on the other hand, the film's technical aspects such as its cinematography, background score and de-aging effects, received praise.
