Vikram starrer Thangalaan experienced a big drop in its second weekend, collecting just Rs. 5 crore approx. This marks a steep decline of nearly 80 per cent from its first weekend, which itself had already dropped from the opening day on Thursday. The film actually held surprisingly well in the dubbed Telugu version, which dropped just 50 per cent but the original Tamil version crashed by almost 85 per cent.

The total box office collection of the film stands at Rs. 52 crore approx at the Indian box office. Internationally, the film has grossed USD 1.90 million (Rs. 16 crore) approx, for a worldwide gross of Rs. 68 crore. At this pace, the film is likely to conclude its run with a total gross under Rs. 75 crore, a disappointing result.

In Tamil Nadu, the second weekend brought in just Rs. 2.75 crore, pushing the total to Rs. 35 crore. The film is expected to finish behind Demonte Colony 2, which is projected to collect around Rs. 40 crore in the state, despite Thangalaan opening more than three times on the first day. Elsewhere, even though the Telugu dubbed version saw a good hold in the second weekend, the collections are just too low for that to really matter.

Thangalaan is yet another failure for Vikram, who has been going through a rough phase. Barring Ponniyin Selvam films, which were driven by the IP, his last HIT film was Irumugan, back in 2016. Since then, he has released five films, all five failing to leave a mark.

The territorial breakdown for the box office collections of Thangalaan is as follows:

Area
Gross

Rs. 35.00 cr.

Rs. 3.50 cr.

AP/TS
Rs. 10.50 cr.

During the ‘Juju Fest 2024’ it was revealed that that Hidden Inventory Arc from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 will be getting a compilation film. The movie is all set to release in 2025. We expect a theatrical release in Japan, but more details regarding the film have not been released as of writing. The Hidden Inventory Arc was the first part of the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen.

The first 5 episodes from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 covered the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc (Kaigyoku/Gyokusetsu). This arc is also known as the Gojo’s Past Arc. The rest of the 18 episodes focused on the ‘Shibuya Incident arc’. The series is based on the popular manga Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami. 

The Hidden Inventory Arc follows the life of Satoru Gojo and his time as a second-year high school student at Jujutsu High. Sharing the spotlight with Gojo are his classmates, Suguru Geto and Shoko Ieiri. During this arc, they are assigned to escort the Star Plasma Vessel to Master Tengen while they are attacked by a group of curse users. 

One of the arc’s standout moments is Toji Fushiguro, aka, The Sorcerer Killer. Toji is a former member of the Zenin clan and the father of Megumi Fushiguro. He is one of the most badass villains in the manga, and what makes him stand out is the fact that he possesses Zero Cursed Energy, which makes it difficult for others to detect his presence.
