Thug Life Box Office Collection Day 3: Riddled With Controversies, Kamal Haasan Starrer Fails To Beat Indian 2

Thug Life hit the big screens on June 5. The release of the movie was riddled with controversies after a comment made by Kamal Haasan sparked an uproar in Karnataka. The ripples of the row seem to have affected the business of the movie as well. Despite being released in multiple languages, the movie has not been able to garner a decent total at the box office.
