Suchitra Krishnamoorthi found herself watching Thugs Of Hindostan alone in a multiplex. The actor-singer shared a picture of the empty theatre and wrote about her predicament on social media. She said, "Jeez, I'm getting scared. Never watched a movie all alone (sic)."

She thought the show would be cancelled due to lack of audience, but it wasn't. Suchitra added that the film was making her wrack her brains "like I'm studying algebra. I always failed algebra but admired its pointlessness... the poisoned laddoo cliche plot point twist has been used in Indian cinema since 100 years ago (sic)."
