Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil Box Office Collection Day 18: Jiiva Starrer Near ₹29 Crore India Net

Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil Box Office Collection: Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil, featuring Jiiva in the lead role, has completed 18 days at the Indian box office. The Tamil political satire, which hit cinemas on January 15, 2026, has so far recorded an estimated India net collection of ₹28.69 crore, as per early figures reported by box office tracking website Sacnilk.

Directed by Nithish Sahadev, the film opened to a positive response over its first weekend, with collections witnessing a sharp rise from Friday to Sunday. After a modest opening day, Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil showed strong growth during its initial weekend, pushing its first-week total to approximately ₹19.75 crore. The early momentum was aided by weekend footfalls, while weekday collections showed the expected decline.

During its second week, the film experienced a noticeable slowdown at the box office. While weekends continued to provide minor boosts, weekday numbers dropped considerably. The second-week total stood at around ₹7.34 crore, indicating reduced occupancy as the release moved beyond its initial phase. By the end of Day 18, the film’s cumulative India net collection reached ₹28.69 crore, with Day 18 (third Sunday) contributing an estimated ₹0.7 crore, based on rough early data.

As of February 2, Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil has completed 18 days in theatres and entered Day 19. Trade tracking suggests that the film’s performance in the coming days will likely depend on weekday audience turnout and screen retention, especially amid competition from newer releases.

The film also stars Prathana Nathan and Thambi Ramaiah in key roles, alongside Ilavarasu and an ensemble supporting cast. It is produced by Kannan Ravi, with Deepak Ravi serving as co-producer, under the banner of K R Group. Jiiva has also been credited as the creative producer for the project.

Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil is positioned as a political satire, blending commentary with humour-driven storytelling. Cinematography is handled by Bablu Aju, while editing is overseen by Arjune Babu. The film’s music has been composed by Vishnu Vijay.

With close to ₹29 crore collected in 18 days, Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil continues its theatrical journey at a measured pace. As it moves further into its third week, its box office trajectory is expected to remain modest.
