Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil Box Office Collection Day 6
Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil is estimated to stand around ₹16.45 crore India net after 6 days, with the film still holding well post the Pongal weekend as of Tuesday, 20 January 2026 (around late evening trade tracking time).
Day 6 itself is seeing a softer weekday trend, but not a crash, which is what most mid‑budget Tamil political satires hope for when the festival rush settles.
In a few Chennai city theatres, there are reports of small groups walking in after office just because someone in the team “couldn’t stop quoting the council scenes,” which is the kind of casual word of mouth that keeps shows ticking even when the initial hype cools.
There is a sense that the film has done its primary job in the first extended weekend, and now the box office story is more about steady legs than big jumps.
Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil Box Office Collection Day-wise
The day‑wise box office numbers show a strong festive launch and a very healthy Saturday–Sunday spike before moving into more normal weekday levels. According to Sacnilk and media tracking based on its data, the approximate India net collections are:
-
Day 1 (Thursday, Jan 15, 2026): ₹1.5–1.7 crore
-
Day 2 (Friday): about ₹2.9–3.3 crore
-
Day 3 (Saturday): around ₹5.3–6.1 crore, a big festive high
-
Day 4 (Sunday): roughly ₹5.15–6.1 crore, almost flat with Saturday
-
Day 5 (Monday): early estimates near ₹1.6–3.0 crore, depending on the source, taking the film past ₹16–18 crore range
-
Day 6 (Tuesday): overall India net now placed at about ₹16.45 crore for 6 days in conservative trade tracking, while some portals project a higher figure when weekend totals are used.
Worldwide, Sacnilk’s consolidated listings show around ₹21.90 crore gross in 6 days (₹19.40 crore India gross and ₹2.50 crore overseas), which is a very comfortable zone for a film mounted on a controlled budget.
One distributor mentioned that in a tier‑2 town single screen, the Tuesday evening show still had enough crowd for a quick cheer when Jiiva’s character delivers a punchline about local ward politics small moments, but they indicate the film is connecting beyond just the opening weekend.
About Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil Movie
Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil is a Tamil political satire drama headlined by Jiiva, directed by Malayalam filmmaker Nithish Sahadev, and positioned as a Pongal 2026 family entertainer with a sharp but mostly light‑hearted take on grassroot politics.
The story circles around local leadership, sibling‑style power dynamics and the gap between what leaders promise and what actually happens in wards and panchayats, told with a mix of comedy, emotional moments and a few grounded mass scenes.
For many viewers, it has felt like the kind of film where a line about ration queues or election freebies suddenly reminds them of a real relative who once contested in a local body poll, which explains the strong weekend jump and the respectable weekday holds.
