Additionally, because of the 8-week OTT window, Thug Life seems poised for release in North Indian multiplexes. If the content clicks among audiences, Thug Life has all the possibilities to do wonders at the box office due to its pan-Indian release, according to trade experts.
However, Thug Life has huge expectations among audiences, and it remains to be seen whether it satisfies those expectations and emerges as a blockbuster success upon its release on June 5th.
