Salman Khan’s KICK has done well to beat Shahrukh Khan’s Chennai Express in four circuits even though it released on a non-holiday. In East Punjab, Kick managed to collect about 10% more than Chennai Express, Rajasthan was slightly ahead, Bihar was record-breaking and Orissa too was good.
However the difference between the two films were the biggest circuits. Chennai Express was way ahead in Mumbai circuit, where business was affected by rains and Ramadan period. Delhi/UP too was about 10% lower, even though the opening that KICK got was spectacular, it dropped evening onwards.
The other big difference were South circuits like Nizam, Tamilnadu and Kerala. The fact that KICK was originally a telugu film probably affected business. Chennai Express was record-breaking in Tamilnadu and Shahrukh Khan is the king of West Bengal.
Overall, the two films were around the same considering the fact that Chennai Express got a holiday release, while Kick released on a working day during Ramazan.

| Mumbai | 7.97 | 11.52 |

@arjunkapoor have you even seen this pathetic kick?you are posting comments all over…first hear from someone who has seen the film and it should be your near and dear..respond only after that
Baap of all rubbish movie like humshakal ,himmatwala! He trying to be Don he jump from building what already srk did in Don he ran what SRK did earlier everybody wants to be SRK!!!
its lifetime will be around 180 cr…….
this movie has no story. a 12 year old could do a better movie then this. s khan needs to focus on his acting and his scripts otherwise he will lose his stardam. feel sory for him. he needs get rid of his ego and his mucho man act b4 he becomes a failure. he is still around because of his fans. the only good movies he done good in his life is tere naam and wanted.
Waiting for EID day 1 collections of KICK
@indicine pls is’t true that hrithik wll star opposite jackie farnandez in sajid nadiadwala next
srk released one film on eid and its bigger than all salman khan’s eid releases!!
Just wait srk’s friends……kick will cross 300 in domestic collection. There is sill many days to come.
YES! its a big disappointment ! Though #Kick has got 5000 screens all over India and #ChennaiExpress had 3500 screens… Huge difference of 1500 screens should have crossed the #CE ‘s record easily and would have kept #CE away with a difference of 10 – 15 cr.. but it hasn’t..Better luck next time Sallu..
I love salman. nd kick is a blockbuster movie for this year. shah rukh is a gaandu. salman god hai. Ameen.
