Rajinikanth’s Kabali sets a box office record with Rs 600-crore collection

It is the era of money spinners in the movie world - Rajinikanth’s Kabali has apparently broken records by a box office collection of Rs 48 crore on the first day itself and has collected over Rs 600-crore till now. Kabali has left Salman Khan's Sultan far behind. Rajinikanth's Kabali can claim to be this year’s biggest hit.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 5 August 2016.

As per trade analysts - Kabali has earned Rs 211 crore from the Indian box office out of which over Rs 40 crore came from North India which is not a traditional base for Rajinikanth films. The film's international box office has been spectacular. It did massive business not only in the US but also in Malaysia, Japan etc. It has earned Rs 259 crore in the foreign markets.
Incidentally, Kabali had earned Rs 200 crore before its release with deals such as music and satellite rights. It is predicted that the film may touch Rs 700 crore in coming days. That will be a real record. It has been a real money spinner because the total budget of Kabali was nearly Rs 75 crore, out of which the salary of the lead artist alone was around Rs 50-60 crore. And - it has netted over Rs 600 crore.
