Thaai Kizhavi box office collections day 15: Radikaa Sarathkumar's film nears Rs 50 crores Radikaa Sarathkumar's rural dark comedy 'Thaai Kizhavi' has emerged as a significant box office success, with the film nearing the Rs 50 crore mark worldwide. The movie, which centers on a feared moneylender, has maintained strong audience interest over two weeks in theaters. Critics have praised Radikaa's powerful performance and the director's engaging storytelling, which blends humor with local cultural elements. The film continues to perform well at the box office, with Sacnilk reporting that it has crossed Rs 48.84 crore in gross collections by Day 15. The net collection stands at Rs 42.71 crore, reflecting the film's steady appeal across multiple regions. The movie was screened in 16,895 shows on its opening day, with the first week earning Rs 23.25 crore and the second week contributing Rs 19.46 crore. These figures highlight the film's consistent performance despite the passage of time. At the heart of the story is Pavunuthaayi, a fiercely independent elderly woman in a rural village. Played by Radikaa Sarathkumar, the character is a ruthless moneylender who enforces strict repayment terms. The narrative takes an unexpected turn when Pavunuthaayi, nearing the end of her life, is met with celebration rather than mourning by the villagers. Her sons and son-in-law, among others, eagerly await her passing, only for their plans to shift when they discover she has hidden gold. The film's storytelling is highlighted in an ETimes review, which commends the director's rooted approach and situational humor. The review notes the inclusion of quirky rural elements, such as a village drunk who makes unconventional prayers to a deity, and the use of Kamal Haasan songs spanning multiple eras.#radikaa_sarathkumar #thaai_kizhavi #pavunuthaayi #sacnilk #etimes
