5 Box Office Records Rajinikanth's Kaala Has Broken So Far
Superstar Rajinikanth's Kaala was undoubtedly the most awaited film of the year. For someone who has a god-like status amongst his fans, every new project is treated as a festive occasion as the fans worship his idols, light up the firecrackers and camp outside the theatres nights before the release of his latest new film. Such has been Rajini's fan following that some private companies announce give their employees a day off to watch the Thalaiva's movies.
Even the government bows to him as normally a film gets 4 shows at a single screen in Tamil Nadu, just for a Rajini film, shows start since 3-4 in the morning. Kaala is made at an expensive budget of 140 Crores but recovered a majority of its cost through the selling of satellite and music rights. 2018 is a great year for Rajini's fans as he's coming out with 2 releases, Kaala and 2.0. Here are a few records that Kaala has broken so far:
Kaala's 2 day Australia box-office collection is 1 Crore which is by far the most for any Tamil release in 2018.
Kaala is Rajinikanth's 4th Million Dollar grosser in the USA after Kabali, Enthiran and Lingaa.
Kaala registered the highest single-day gross for any film released in Chennai. It collected 1.76 Crores.
Kaala's 15 Crore opening day is the largest for any Tamil film in 2018.
Kaala has also emerged as the highest grossing Tamil film of 2018 in the USA.
Also, Kaala is the first Indian movie to be released in Saudi Arabia after the conservative country lifted a ban on film theatres.
