Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil Box Office Collection Day 5: Jiiva’s latest political satire, Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil, directed by Nithish Sahadev, continues its strong run at the Indian box office. Released during the Pongal festival in January 2026, the Tamil film has captivated audiences with its witty take on politics, featuring a stellar cast including Prathana Nathan and Thambi Ramaiah. After a solid opening weekend, the movie held firm on its first weekday, crossing the ₹16 crore mark in net collections. This makes it Kollywood’s first commercial success of the year, recovering its ₹10 crore budget and delivering impressive returns.
The film outperformed competitors like Karthi’s Vaa Vaathiyaar, which managed only ₹7.70 crore net in the same period. Positive word-of-mouth and holiday crowds boosted its performance, especially in Tamil Nadu, where it grossed around ₹10 crore in the first three days alone.
