Kabali becomes the most watched film on Day 1

Kabali has become the most watched film on the first day of its release, as trade sources say more than 50 lakh people watched the film on Friday – about 35-40% of those were from Tamilnadu itself, which is unbelievably huge.

The footfalls are higher than the opening day of pan-India films like Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Sultan and Dhoom 3.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens when ‘Robot 2.0’ releases in theatres next year. Akshay Kumar has a strong following in the core Hindi belt of the country, while Rajnikanth is unmatched in the South. Both appeal to a different section of the audience at the overseas markets. To add to it, films directed by Shankar are hugely commercial and appeal both to the classes and masses.

A casting masterstroke like ‘Robot 2.0’ could put up unimaginable numbers next year.

  • As usual Don film …u’ll find everything except Storyline

    seriously all editing in videos to improve looks Rajnikant image

    he’s like God dere

    In taminadu n CHENNAI movie comes first dan work…lol government declared holiday …???

  • Akki is currently undergoing a purple patch in his career. Rustom jolly llb2 all look promising . Bt i hv huge doubts regarding robot2. Shankars last film I was mediocre. Plus akkis look as Kauua Man was horrible. Akkis films r currently doing very well in urban India. Even a housefull3 worked mainly in plexes. So a robot2 failure could hurt him. Hope it does well

  • I really don’t trust these south guys. They are known for overhyping almost everything right from their budget to satellite rights to collections.
    I only believe a Shahrukh or a Salman is capable of recording insane opening day numbers, followed by Hrithik, Aamir and Akshay.

  • M huge fan of salman bhai ..N Wednesday was working dat. ..still I saw dat movie once m done with my job.

    Holiday declared just 2 watch movie …India economy will come down. Does it make d sense.

    N all movies same …don Don !

    Also Entertainment tax in south belt vary Low as compared to here in Mumbai & oder metro cities

  • YES agree
    As I said ROBOT 2 will Shatter each & every box office records.
    I know when Rajni Sir releases his movie day becomes Holiday
    But I think they should release ROBOT 2 ON INDEPENDENCE DAY 2017/ Diwali 2017/ 12 DEC 2017
    ( RAJNI SIRs BIRTHDAY )
    So Film will take off with earth-shattering opening.

  • Robot 2 would’ve been even bigger had Aamir said Yes to Shankar. But he didn’t. He instead opted for Dangal.
    So now imagine how huge and great Dangal will be now that Aamir rejected R2 for it.
    Can’t wait for the best film of the year – Dangal

  • wow…………….real superstar………..big salute from my side…………sabka band baja diya yaar……at the age of 65 still rulling………….this is called MEGASTARDOME

  • Aksay act or not , doesn’t make any impact….
    The super star acting on it….that make impact..

  • @Arjun…Movie ‘I’ was not mediocre movie Bengali idiot . I think You are Addicted of watching your bengali idol mithun’s Action movies…!

  • Kabaali ticket price was around 600 in south and net collection is 42.50 than how it footfalls can be more than PRDP? PRDP ticket rates were lower compare 2 Kabaali. THIS IS TOTALLY FAKE REPORT BY THEM!

  • @arjun guerilla fan
    U are a born idiot u know this …!!
    FYI Akshay has three different looks in Robot 2 …!!!
    And far as that crow look is concerned final touches will be given during post production …..!!!

  • It will easily cross 55cr nett at all india box office and could go as high as 65-70cr on opening day…..my GOD

    Considering kabali has grossed around 43cr with hindi version only contributing to 3cr. So if Robot:
    2.0(hindi)- 15 Total- 55cr
    2.0(hindi)- 20 Total- 60cr
    2.0(hindi)- 25 Total- 65cr

  • And considering Robot 2.0 is a sequal to a popular film and has got way more of mass appeal than Kabali, it will definitely creat new records with collections going as high as 70cr on Day 1 if it has Good trailer and marketing.

  • The nett collections of the film across India are the highest ever though this does not mean the highest opening collection ever in India as there are different rates of entertainment tax across India and they are generally lower in South India.

    By BoxofficeIndia

    Means inflationwise still it is behind the opening of 2 YEARS OLDER HNY’S MEGA OPENING even after doing earth shattering promotions.

    KING SRK IS THE BIGGEST MEGASTAR OF INDIA FOR A REASON.
