The film opened strongly with ₹5.2 crore on day 1 (Friday), followed by a 50.96% growth to ₹7.85 crore on day 2 (Saturday), and sustained good numbers with ₹9.7 crore on day 3. After a typical weekday dip, it maintained steady hold through the first week, accumulating ₹32.75 crore.
In its second week, Thalaivan Thalaivii earned ₹17.23 crore net, reflecting a drop by nearly 47%, which is usual for films post-release but held up well due to word-of-mouth.
