Made on a budget of 300 crore reportedly, expectations from this one were quite high. The trailer of the film had received mixed reviews as many fans felt that the VFX were not upto the mark. The film did collect over 50 Crore on its opening day but Indian box office collections are falling each day, owing to negative word of mouth.

Now, as per noted film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the 'Thugs' have failed to weave magic internationally as well.


Taran Adarsh wrote on Twitter, “#ThugsOfHindostan has underperformed in international markets... OVERSEAS total after Weekend 1: 6.40 million [46.67 cr]... Breakup of key markets: #USA #CANADA: 1.45 mn #UAE + #GCC: 2.25 mn #UK: 0.65 mn Rest of the World: 2.05 mn Few cinemas yet to report...TOH”



Set in the backdrop of India under the British rule in the 19th century, Thugs of Hindostan is inspired by Philip Meadows Taylor's 1839 novel Confessions of a Thug. It revolves around the life of a thug and his gang who challenge the British Empire in the country.


Aamir plays the firangi Mallah, Bachchan Senior plays Khudabaksh, Fatima plays Zafira and Katrina plays Suraiyya. Hollywood actor Lloyd Owen plays John Clive, the villain of the film.
