Padai Thalaivan Box Office Collection Day 9: Shanmuga Pandian’s Film Struggles to Cross ₹8 Crores

The Tamil action film Padai Thalaivan, starring Shanmuga Pandian, had a strong start at the box office. However, its pace has now slowed down significantly as it faces tough competition from other major South Indian releases. Here’s a look at how the film performed on its 9th day.

On its 9th day, the film collected just ₹4 lakhs, marking a drop of nearly 33% compared to the previous day’s collection of ₹6 lakhs. The film’s total India net collection now stands at ₹7.3 crores.

Still Far From the 10-Crore Mark

The film is still ₹2.7 crores away from reaching the ₹10 crore mark. Given the slow momentum, it is likely to wrap up its theatrical run below ₹8 crores unless positive word-of-mouth gives it a boost. At the moment, it is facing strong competition from films like Maaman and Thug Life.
