Vismaya Mohanlal's thriller Thudakkam saw a sharp 50% drop on its seventh day, earning just Rs 80 lakh in India, according to Times of India. The film had collected Rs 1.60 crore on Wednesday. The India net total now stands at Rs 16 crore, with a worldwide gross of Rs 33.46 crore after seven days. Bollywood Life reported a steadier run earlier, with Rs 15.21 crore India net by day six. The film, directed by Jude Anthany Joseph and featuring Mohanlal in a cameo, has had a strong first week overall.

The weekday dip is normal for a non-holiday release, yet the film has crossed Rs 33 crore worldwide in its first week, a respectable figure for any debut. Instead of calling it a failure or overhyping the number, wait for the second weekend. If Thudakkam holds well on Friday and through the weekend, it will prove its legs. If it falls further, the initial curiosity factor is exhausted. The real test is the second Friday collection.
