Thugs of Hindostan film may reap the benefit of the holiday period and tremendous hype around it to further boost its overall collections. 

"#ThugsOfHindostan may reap the benefit of the holiday period + tremendous hype + impressive names in its cast... But will find it difficult to sustain after the initial euphoria settles down... #TOH is a golden opportunity lost, a KING-SIZED DISAPPOINTMENT!," said Adarsh.

However, the only bad news Thugs of Hindostan film received was from movie critics as they did not give it good reviews at all. In fact, most of the film critic termed it a 'disappointment'.

Taran Adarsh, in his short Thugs of Hindustan review, tweeted this: "#OneWordReview… #ThugsOfHindostan: DISAPPOINTING. Rating: **, All that glitters is NOT gold... Holds true for #TOH... Some engrossing moments in the first hour, that’s about it... Formula-ridden plot, screenplay of convenience, shoddy direction are the main culprits....".

On his part, film trade analyst and critic Sumit Kadel had termed it a 'complete waste of money'. "#ThugsofHindostan - Complete waste of Money, Talent & Resources, Aamir Khan weakest film this decade. Shoddy Screenplay, Mundane action sequences, extremely lousy direction & a bygone story defines thugs of Hindostan. Not even massy enough. Rating- *," he said in a tweet.

Now, will Thugs of Hindostan box office colelction continue to keep this fast and furious pace? That is a question on everyone's minds. That will be clear in a day or two as the festive holiday season ends and working week starts in earnest. Then, what will decide ToH collection fate would be the word of mouth boost.
