10 crore in three days
Source - http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_story.aspx?Section=Movies&ID=293106&subcatg=&keyword=regional&nid=293106 Please add this data to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.193.60.139 (talk) 04:26, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Tamil actor Vijay's action-thriller Thuppakki managed to collect a whopping Rs.10.01 crore within the first three days of its release in Tamil Nadu. The film collected approximately Rs.10.01 crore from Tamil Nadu in the first three days. This is one of the best openings for a Tamil film released this year. Thuppakki is doing extraordinary business in other parts of the country too," Trinath, trade analyst told IANS. The numbers from other parts of the country and overseas are yet to come in," he added. Thuppakki, which released on November 13 worldwide in over 1,000 screens, is about a captain from the Indian Army, played by Vijay, who comes to Mumbai on a vacation, but gets himself involved in a terrorist scheme, which is bigger than anticipated. Kajal Agarwal, Satyan, Mano Bala, Vidyut Jamwal and Jayaram have played key roles in the film, which is directed by A.R. Murugadoss, and has music by Harris Jeyaraj. Meanwhile, the Telugu dubbed version of the film titled Thupaki faced release problems on the opening day in Andhra Pradesh. The Telugu version of the film couldn't be released in most theatres in Andhra Pradesh because of some misunderstanding between the distributors and theatre owners, but all that got resolved very soon. The film has done equally good business in Andhra Pradesh too," added Trinath. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.193.60.139 (talk) 04:29, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Budget
Please remove the budget 70 crore figure. It is exaggerated and unreliable. Tamil film industry is only 25% of Hindi film industry. Recent Bollywood release Jab Tak Hai Jaan had a reported budget of merely 50 crore. Official budget figure will be announced within a month.

Some media sources put the budget at 50 crore only. Source - http://4tamilmedia.tv/news-review/650-thuppakki-gemini-spent-6-crores-only-for-hero-s-family — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.193.51.86 (talk) 15:59, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

GA-related comments
Note: I am not doing the GA review, but I thought I'd make some comments on this before the review is started. I won't say any more - that'll be for the GA reviewer to do. :) Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 10:14, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) The citation provided for the Vijay Awards only backs up the claims of the winners - it makes no mention of the nominees. Another one is needed for the nominees.
 * 2) There is no in-line citation for the 2nd South Indian International Movie Awards in the table.
 * 3) Should the fight choreographer/stunt director be "Kecha", or "Kechcha"? Not having looked myself, I don't know. Neither name is mentioned anywhere in the main article - this may want to be sorted.
 * 4) The currency situation in the "Overseas" section (under box office) is a mess - that needs work.
 * 5) "in a Special Appearance" from the "Cast" section - that may want clarifying a little bit.
 * 6) The "Plot" section is totally unreferenced, so this might want sorting, and it also has some stubby sentences that may want merging.


 * Thanks for the comments, I'll start working. But I want the article totally protected from IP edits first. Kailash29792 (talk) 10:43, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Legacy section
In this edit I boldly deleted the Legacy section, the content of which seems to have been recently added here. Not one of the sources in that section makes the claim that the film popularised the term "sleeper cell", and even if the sources did make that assertion, it's a dubious claim. The term has been in use for decades and the most significant spike in usage occurred around 2001 after the US's 9/11 attacks, according to dictionary.com Looking at Google Trends, there appears to be very little usage worldwide around the time of the film's release, (unfortunately it doesn't track stuff prior to 2004) and looking at Google Ngram viewer, the term was on a decline worldwide with no spikes in 2012. If what the contributor meant was that there was an increase in popularity in India, looking at trends in India, there was a burst of popularity around the time of the film's release, but there were also bursts in 2007, 2008, and 2009. In my mind, upticks in phrase popularity doesn't necessarily equate to "popularised". Popularised suggests that a term was coined and spread widely, or that an obscure term was used and launched into wide usage, which seems to have been the case after 9/11. So, I don't think it's accurate to say that the film popularised the term "sleeper cell".

And, the statement, in 2018, director Ramana Madhesh stated, "My film Arasangam, dealt with sleeper cells, four years before the release of Thuppakki. But, I failed to coin a name for the concept seem to suggest that we're attributing the concept of "sleeper cell" to either Murugadoss or to Madhesh for his 2008 film, which again is dubious, since the term was in the lexicon at either point, and the notion of a clandestine group lying in wait is not anything that someone in the 21st century could claim to have invented.
