Superstar Rajinikanth’s latest release Kabali arrived in Mumbai with thousands of fans celebrating at the Aurora Theatre in King’s Circle and other parts of Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai on Friday. “Kabali” is being released in more than 12,000 screens across India, as well as in the United Kingdom and Malaysia, which has a sizeable Tamil-speaking population.

The film released in more than 12,000 screens across India, as well as in the United Kingdom and Malaysia has also set new benchmarks in the U.S. and Canada by earning a whopping Rs. 12.93 cr.in preview shows. Kabali’s India collections stand at Rs 250 crore while its overseas box office has yielded Rs 100 crore until now.
“Kabali”, directed by Pa Ranjith, also stars Radhika Apte, Dhanshika and Kalaiarasan in key roles. The movie starring Indian actor Rajinikanth opens worldwide tomorrow, July 22. But it seems like, to gain the attention of Bollywood audience, a Kabali remake in Hindi is on its way. Sandhya Ramani, a graduate student at University of Colorado, Denver, said she had timed her vacation to be in Chennai for the film’s release.
The collection is awesome not only in India but all over the world.
Well, there is no official confirmation regarding the same but if this happens to be, it would be interesting to see if Amitabh Bachchan gets that stylish antics and Rajinikanth flavor in the film or no.
“It has created history and an all time record all over the world”. The film earned approximately Rs 48 crore at the Indian box office on Friday and backed it up with a solid performance on day 2 and 3. Fans specially flown in by AirAsia from Bengaluru to watch a special screening complained of some rescheduling of timing and screening venues.
Given that north India is not the traditional audience for a Rajinikanth starrer, the numbers are indeed unbelievable. The reason Rajini’s Tamil films don’t do well when dubbed in Hindi is because they are very culture-specific.
Thanu first met Rajinikanth in 1978 when he was the distributor of the actor’s movie “Bairavi”. Rajinikanth merchandise was selling briskly outside theaters in Tamil Nadu. But what I love about him is: He may be India’s biggest star, but he remains a simple man at heart. “We share am incredible connection, it is extraordinary”.
In the global front “Star Trek Beyond” is dominating at the USA box office as the latest entry in the durable franchise heads to a solid $60 million opening weekend, estimates showed Saturday.
