Most of us enjoyed Thudarum in theatres; for those who couldn’t, it is now available on Jio Hotstar. Before the film’s release on OTT, however, Mohanlal traveled to Tamil Nadu to offer a special gift to the beloved deity of his on-screen character, Lord Murugan, the warrior god. His offering was a ‘vel,’ a spear traditionally associated with Murugan.
The reason for the gift is obvious: the film has been a phenomenal success. In just 35 days, it earned a worldwide gross of INR 234.5 crores, according to Sacnilk. However, that extraordinary run has come to an end with the film’s release on OTT. There were earlier reports that the makers had requested Hotstar to delay the release of Thudarum until the first week of June, but that didn’t happen. Still, it enjoyed a very successful theatrical run.
