Taran Adarsh recently tweeted an updated box office collection of the film ’Thugs of Hindostan’ so far. Amir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan’s film was described as a debacle by him. Their big Diwali release managed to collect Rs. 140.40 crore in eight days. It also included collection from Telugu and Tamil versions of the film.
#ThugsOfHindostan is a DEBACLE... Did 37.61% of its *extended Week 1 biz* on Day 1 itself, while the remainder 62.39% was done from Day 2 to Day 8 [seven days]... Weekend 2 will give an idea of its *lifetime biz*, but the *Hindi version* will fold up around ? 150 cr [+/-].

Poor reviews were released for ’Thugs of Hindostan’ which also starred Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh. In an NDTV review, critic Saibal Chatterjee gave 2.5 stars out of 5 stars and said, “"Big, bloated, bombastic, Thugs Of Hindostan is a period saga that banks solely upon action and spectacle for impact. It might entertain large swathes of the audience, but it is ultimately too tacky and unconvincing to lay legitimate claims to being India’s answer to Pirates Of The Caribbean. It isn’t even a poor copy.”
