What’s The Public Talk On Mohanlal's Thudarum!

Malayalam cinema has the habit of presenting consistently good films. Carrying on this track is Malayalam, superstar Mohanlal, who had a new theatrical release in the form of Thudarum. The film released at the box office this weekend and it open to nearly unanimous positive reviews.

The box office reports are suggesting that the film has opened on a pretty strong note at the Kerala and Malayalam box office. Now here is a look at the kind of public talk that has been generated by this film on social media.

Thudarum, directed by Tharun Moorthy, has received a lot of praise from both critics and the public. The movie stars Mohanlal as Shanmugham, a taxi driver whose life changes after his son’s tragic death.

Many have called Mohanlal’s acting one of his best in recent years. Reviews from Hindustan Times and Indian Express praised the film’s strong story and emotional depth, calling it one of the best revenge thrillers in Indian cinema. Rediff also described it as a powerful film for adults. Viewers liked how the story shifts from a simple family drama to an emotional revenge story.

Thudarum had a great start at the box office, earning ₹16.65 crore worldwide on its first day, making it one of the top openings in Kerala for 2025. Overall, people feel Thudarum is a well-made, emotional, and gripping movie, led by an outstanding performance from Mohanlal.

It can perhaps be said that Mohanlal badly needs the success with Thudarum after the wide criticism he had received for Empuraan. This is some much needed reprieve for the legendary Mohanlal.
