Thangalaan advance booking: Chiyaan Vikram's film sold around 2 lakh tickets

Chiyaan Vikram's highly anticipated period drama, Thangalaan, is set to hit theatres tomorrow.

Chiyaan Vikram starrer Thangalaan has made a solid start at the box office, with over 232,000 tickets sold in advance. While this indicates promising pre-release buzz, the film's potential has been somewhat curtailed by the stiff competition from Mr. Bachchan and Double iSmart in the crucial Telugu market, where Vikram enjoys a significant fan following.

The film's period backdrop and the actor's unconventional avatar have generated substantial buzz, which is expected to translate into strong footfalls on the first day.

The film's strong pre-sales, despite facing competition from Mr. Bachchan and Double iSmart, are promising and suggest a healthy opening day, especially in Tamil Nadu, Vikram's stronghold.

Had Thangalaan enjoyed a solo release in the Telugu-speaking states, its advance booking figures would likely have been significantly higher.

As of the morning of August 14th, Thangalaan had garnered a respectable ₹4.15 crore in advance bookings. While this figure doesn't set any records, it certainly provides a solid base for a promising opening day.

Chiyaan Vikram's highly anticipated period drama, Thangalaan, is set to hit theatres tomorrow. Helmed by the talented Pa. Ranjith, the film has generated immense excitement since its inception.

Set against the backdrop of British colonial India, Thangalaan follows the inspiring journey of a tribal leader as he valiantly defends his homeland from the rapacious greed of gold miners.

Joining Chiyaan Vikram on the silver screen are the talented Parvathy and Malavika Mohanan, who play pivotal female roles. The supporting cast, including Pasupathy, Daniel Caltagirone, and Harikrishnan Anbudurai, further enrich the film's narrative with their powerful performances.
