Salman Khan’s KICK has taken an unprecedented opening at the box office. For the morning shows, the Pre-Eid release has had little or no impact on the opening as several shows were houseful as early at 8 in the morning.
Mumbai circuit opened well, cities like Pune, Ahmedabad, Kolhapur and several others took 80% plus opening. In Mumbai, the film is running on a record 1100+ shows for the day and occupancy was 80-85% on an average for the morning shows. Mysore circuit was no different, Bangalore took a strong start of 75%, while Mangalore, which is screening a record 45 shows of the film, took a 80% start.
The story is similar in other circuits too. Bihar, Delhi/UP, Rajasthan, East Punjab, C.P, C.I have all been blown over by the superstar who has made a strong comeback after Jai Ho.
The first day business of KICK looks certain to be above the 25 crore mark and could be much more, even 30 crore plus, if the drop in the noon / evening is not too big. Films like these tend to take an extraordinary start in the morning, but begin to drop 1PM onwards. But early reports from a few centres suggest, it has held on pretty well for the noon shows too.
Now for the best news of the day. The reports from the morning shows is EXTRAORDINARY. The trade is super-confident that the film will not just go on to break the records of Dhoom 3, but be the first film to cross 300 crores! Many expected Kick to be an out-an-out action film, but as the closing credits roll, it gives you so much more – action, comedy, romance, emotions and Salman in the form of his life! Go give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

KICK is by far the most entertaining Salman Khan film since Dabangg (2010), a film his fans will love! It has tremendous repeat value too.

@ king @ vikram don’t cry like children
@quin(king), kick releases on 4000screen nt 4500screen. Also Ek tha tiger collected 33cr with 3000 screen. So it was nt a big deal for ur wrinkle collected 28cr with 3600screen.
Wait for HNY India’s first 300 cr movie.I don’t think kick can crosc250 cr but 200 cr on cards
Jumme ki raat, Salman ke saath.
@tiger but that was national holiday idiot and by the way ek tha bunder released with 3300 sceens
I hate this kind movie….again and again stupid action…bring the gold bollywood movie
Like in 80-90’s era :'(
senceless but entertaining, with overacting in much scenes by salman.. Randeep and nawaz were best @ acting in whole movie
So as expected the film has taken an earth shattering start all over..now it has to maintain the same pace so as to break the opening day records..25 crore will easily be achieved after such a humongous opening
Mind blowing movie. Did movie easily cross 250cr.salman rocks dis tym.
#HrithikRoshan beats Hollywood heroes in #BangBang! Becomes the first actor to do a
flyboarding stunt
in his film
Hrithik Roshan has performed several
crazy stunts in his film
Bang Bang . The recently-releas ed promo shows the actor
emerging from the water on a unusual
contraption.
It is a water jetpack called a flyboard. It
looks like a small
snowboard attached to a hose and can propel riders 45 feet
in the air. It is used to perform a sport
called flyboarding
that has gained popularity in the West.
Celebrities have taken
to it and Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted testing out the
device last year while on a holiday in
Ibiza.
It is, however, the first time that
something like this has
been used in Bollywood or Hollywood. Hrithik is the first
actor to do a flyboaring stunt in a film.
For once Bollywood
beats Hollywood.
I luvd the movie. I went for the 1st show and again matine show. Still want to watch it again and again. Luv u salman. U r d best. I want this movie to break all the previous records of box office. Fingers crossed.
as the film settles down today the bad comments and reviews are pouring in…
the wom is extremely bad..
and im sure the critics themselves are salman fans and so are not giving proper reviews as they should be
the ratings have been deliberatly kept up so that salman doesnt bash them up
its the worst film of the year as bad as ce dhoom 3 and krish
bakwas to the core if you dont believe ask people who have actually seen the movie
@ankan,don’t worry Shahid the Haider gonna screw your shivering actor’s bhojpuri action movie bong bong.
@lallu ke ullu fans ,kindly request indicine team to change the title as lallu dissapointed the nation with his 2nd debacle back to back in a year,lol.
