Kabali’s box-office status

The Superstar Rajini starrer Kabali has completed 4 weeks in theaters and is still holding well across TN, Kerala, Karnataka and overseas centers. The overseas gross of the film has crossed 105 crores which is just sensational by any yardstick and a new benchmark for a Southern film. In Kerala, the film has grossed more than 16 crores, becoming the all-time No.3 among other language films in the state.

In Tamil Nadu, the gross of the film is said to be around 75 crores with a distributors share of more than 46 crores, thanks to the tax free status. The lifetime theatrical share of Kabali is expected to reach 50 crores, thereby falling way short of the mark set by Rajini’s own Enthiran in 2010. Kabali may have bested Enthiran in the overseas space but not in TN.
