Thangalaan, the recently released film headlined by actor Vikram and directed by Pa Ranjith has joined the 100-crore club, the makers announced on Friday. The film released in theatres on August 15 and is currently enjoying a theatrical run.

The film also features Parvathi Thiruvothu, Malavika Mohanan, Pasupathi, Daniel Caltagirone, and many others. Thangalaan, set against the backdrops of the historical context of the Kolar Gold Field, portrays the authentic experiences of marginalised individuals from previous centuries and their fight for justice, constrained by oppression, as they are employed by colonisers to find gold in the region. Ranjith’s film uses magical realism to tell the story. The film had grossed with a huge collection of Rs. 26 crore on the first day of release.
