There is a steady rise in the box office collection of Thiruchitramabalam because of the positive word-of-mouth reviews. Despite telling a cliched love story, the film has worked well with the family audience. Starring Dhanush and Nithya Menen in the lead role, the film is about a food delivery guy, who struggles to find love because of his grief and trauma.
