Mohanlal is having a fantastic year at the box office with his latest movie Thudarum. The film is performing well in cinemas and is just a step away from entering the 100-crore club. In 14 days, Thudarum has collected a total of ₹87.13 crore and continues to attract large crowds in theaters.
If Thudarum crosses the 100-crore mark, it will become the second Malayalam film to achieve this feat in 2025, after Mohanlal’s earlier hit L2: Empuraan. With both films, Mohanlal is now leading the box office race this year.
Mohanlal Ruling the Top Two Spots
What’s more impressive is that Mohanlal is holding the top two positions in the list of the highest-grossing Malayalam films of 2025. He is not only delivering back-to-back blockbusters but also helping Mollywood reach new heights.
In just the first four months of 2025, Malayalam cinema has earned ₹388.37 crore in total, from both big and small releases. Mohanlal alone has contributed around 49% of that amount through his two films—L2: Empuraan and Thudarum. That’s almost half the industry’s earnings, which shows his massive popularity and star power.
Thudarum Box Office Collection – Day 14
On its 14th day (Thursday, May 8), Thudarum earned ₹3.6 crore at the box office. This is just a slight dip from Wednesday’s collection of ₹3.75 crore. In its second week alone, the film collected ₹35.7 crore, while it made ₹51.4 crore in its first week. The film is still running strong and is expected to add more to its total in the coming days.
Just ₹19.5 Crore Away From The Top Spot
Thudarum is now only ₹19.5 crore short of becoming the highest-grossing Malayalam film of 2025. Currently, that position is held by L2: Empuraan with a total of ₹106.6 crore. If Thudarum keeps up the pace, it might beat L2: Empuraan and take the top spot very soon.
With these impressive numbers, Mohanlal is all set to cross ₹200 crore in total net collections at the Indian box office in 2025 alone—a rare achievement for any actor in regional cinema.
