First day collections of ‘Kabali’ and ‘Madaari’

Yesterday, two of the most anticipated films released on the big screens near us. Superstar Rajnikanth’s ‘Kabali’ (Hindi dubbed version), and the much awaited Irrfan Khan starrer ‘Madaari’. Given the buzz both movies had created before the respective releases, we were more than curious to know how they would fare on box office. Well, to our astonishment, both the movies have done an average business on day one.

While the Rajinikanth starrer is taking box-office by storm down South, its Hindi dubbed version has failed to bring the audiences to the theatres. The film managed to collect around Rs. 3 crore on first day, and the weekend too does not look too bright for the superstar’s latest offering.

On the other hand, ‘Madaari’ collected Rs. 1.75 crore on it’s first day. Given it was a weekday, we are expecting that by word-of-mouth publicity and due to the coming weekend, the collections will see a rise.

Salman Khan starrer ‘Sultan’ which entered its third week yesterday, collected Rs. 2.25 crore taking the till date total to Rs. 280.37 crore.
