‘Thammudu' box office collections day 2: Nithiin starrer struggles; Collects Rs 3.05 cr
'Thammudu', starring
Nithiin
and
Varsha Bollamma
, is off to a subdued start at the box office. After earning Rs 1.90 crore on its opening day, the film witnessed a dip on Saturday, collecting around Rs 1.15 crore, as per early estimates by the Sacnilk website.
That brings its total two-day collection to Rs 3.05 crore across India.
Occupancy fails to pick up across key cities
On Saturday, the film recorded an overall Telugu occupancy of just 14.46%. Morning shows started slow at 11.44%, and even by night, occupancy hovered around 16.68%. Major centres like Hyderabad saw slightly better turnout (15.25% overall), but cities like Bengaluru and Vijayawada remained weak.
Chennai, interestingly, showed a relatively higher response with an overall 20.25% occupancy, thanks in part to interest in regional crossover actors like Sapthami Gowda.
Still, the numbers weren't enough to make a real impact on Day 2 totals.

Can Sunday offer some relief?
With Sunday being the final push for weekend collections, all eyes are now on whether Thammudu can recover some ground before weekdays kick in. A good Sunday could take the film past Rs 5 crore, but that depends heavily on stronger word-of-mouth and improved turnout in Tier-2 towns.
ETimes review for the film reads, "On the technical front, the film is visually appealing, with cinematographer KV Guhan capturing the tribal locales with flair.
Ajaneesh Loknath's background score is atmospheric but rarely elevates the emotional beats. The action choreography is stylised, though several sequences stretch believability, further distancing the viewer from the story's emotional core. Thammudu had all the ingredients for a stirring emotional-action drama, but in trying too hard to be everything, it ends up being less than the sum of its parts.
A film that had the potential to hit the bullseye sadly misses the mark."
At the moment, 'Thammudu' appears to be facing an uphill battle at the box office. Despite a promising cast and familiar genre elements, the film hasn't quite clicked with the audience — at least not yet.
