Nithiin’s action drama Thammudu hit theatres on July 4, 2025, amid significant anticipation from fans and industry watchers. However, the film has turned out to be a major disappointment, failing to strike a chord with the audience or critics alike.

The film opened to overwhelmingly negative reviews, with many pointing to its lackluster screenplay, weak character development, and predictable narrative as key reasons for its underperformance. Despite the pre-release buzz and promotional efforts, Thammudu managed to collect only Rs 4 crore on its opening day, a figure shockingly low for a film starring Nithiin and produced under a prestigious banner.

Helmed by one of Tollywood’s most successful producers, Dil Raju, the film was seen as a potential turning point for Nithiin, who has been going through a rough patch at the box office. Unfortunately, Thammudu now joins the list of underwhelming outings for both the actor and the producer. The film’s failure has come as a blow, especially considering the expectations set by its grand scale, emotional premise, and intense promotional campaign.

For Nithiin, Thammudu was expected to bring him back into the commercial spotlight. Instead, it has deepened concerns about his current career trajectory, as he continues to struggle to deliver a box office hit. Trade experts and fans alike are expressing disappointment, with some questioning the strategic choices being made regarding his scripts and collaborations.

Meanwhile, Dil Raju, known for delivering numerous blockbusters over the years, finds himself under pressure as well. Thammudu marks another setback in what has otherwise been a highly successful career. The producer is now expected to take stock and reassess upcoming projects to regain momentum.

With the film showing no signs of recovery through word-of-mouth or weekend growth, its theatrical run is expected to be short-lived unless a dramatic turnaround occurs. All eyes are now on the next steps from both Nithiin and Dil Raju, as fans hope for stronger comebacks from the duo.
