Chennai, Mar 14 (IANS) Director Rajeshwar Kalisamy’s comedy drama ‘Kudumbasthan’, which went on to emerge a superhit within the first few days of its release, has now gone on to complete a strong 50-day run in theatres.
The film, which features actor Manikandan and Saanve Megghana in the lead and which revolves around the travails of a middle-class family man in today’s world, still continues to do well in theatres, despite its OTT release on March 7.
Taking to X to announce the film’s successful 50th day in theatres, the production house that produced the film, Cinemakaaran, wrote, “50 days of the blockbuster success. #Kudumbasthan celebrates a journey filled with laughs, relatability and complete family entertainment.”
Actor Manikandan’s performance as a young husband in a middle-class family who runs from pillar to post in order to satisfy the financial needs of his entire family came in for much praise in this film, which released on January 24 this year.

If you examine 10 (middle-class) families with similar backgrounds, you will uncover ten different stories. Even the smallest incident in their daily routines can be fascinating. The same goes for ‘Kudumbasthan,’ as the story and premise are entirely different from my previous films,” he had said.
