Kabali, Super Star Rajinikanth’s latest film, has taken the entire world by storm as it released in more than 4,500 screens worldwide. Following the last two duds in the form of Koxhadaiiyaan and Lingaa, Thalaivar’s fans have been desperately waiting for a blockbuster hit with Kabali.
Making their dreams come true, Kabali has taken a flying start in overseas. The film’s Tamil and Telugu versions released in 250 plus screens in North America and both the versions amassed a staggering $1.50 millions from their premiere shows.
Kabali’s storm has taken none other than Tollywood’s pride and India biggest blockbuster Baahubali as its first ‘Bali’ as Rajinikanth’s mania has overtaken Baahubali’s US premiere record of $1.39 million, with a few hours still left for closing.
With no big director attached to the project, this is simply Rajini’s star power and it will not be a surprise if Kabali overtakes Baahubali’s full run overseas gross of $7 million in its full run, with at least $4.5 million expected in its first weekend itself.
