News

By Ramchander
Salman
Khan's
Kick
has
dominated
the
Box
Office
at
domestic
and
international
circuits.
The
Bollywood
movie
is
heading
towards
breaking
a
few
records
at
collection
centres.
However,
the
Bollywood
flick
has
not
able
to
rule
at
one
centre,
which
has
been
occupied
by
Dhanush's
Velaiyilla
Pattathari.
Yes,
it
has
been
pushed
down
by
the
Tamil
flick
in
Malaysia.
Kick
has
grossed
above
Rs.225
crores
in
Indian
soil
and
has
raked
in
above
Rs.310
crores
worldwide.
In
the
countries
like
the
US,
UK
and
UAE,
the
Hindi
movie
has
got
wonderful
response.
But
in
Malaysia,
it
has
got
poor
reception.
The
Salman
Khan's
movie
is
overshadowed
by
Dhanush's
Velaiyilla
Pattathari.
The
Hindi
film
has
earned
meagre
Rs.18.98
lakhs
in
the
Malaysian
Box
Office
in
10
days.
This,
comparatively
with
the
collections
of
other
regions,
is
very
less.
The
Hindi
movie
is
being
played
in
only
three
screens
and
traders
see
no
sign
of
Kick
showing
any
improvement
in
collections
in
this
part
of
the
world.
On
the
other
end,
the
Dhanush's
movie
is
doing
good
business.
So
far,
it
has
raked
in
Rs.2.14
crores
in
16
days
and
the
film
is
being
played
in
13
screens.

A
Trader
Explains
A
Malaysian
film
trader
says,
"Malaysian
market
has
been
traditionally
good
for
Tamil
films.
Given
the
Tamil
population
in
this
country,
the
response
for
Velaiyilla
Pattathari
has
not
come
as
a
surprise."
Tamil
Films
Have
Edge
He
adds,
"The
Bollywood
movies
depend
on
the
Hindi
and
Punjabi-speaking
population
in
Malaysia.
The
combined
population
is
lesser
than
the
the
Tamil-speaking
people.
So,
we
can
safely
say
that
the
Kollywood
market
is
bigger
than
the
Bollywoood
here."
Kick
Kick
was
released
in
six
screens
and
it
made
Rs.
6
lakhs
in
the
opening
weekend.
The
occupancy
for
the
movie
was
above
75%
in
the
first
weekend.
Jigarthanda
Siddharth's
last-week
release
Jigarthanda
has
made
Rs.5.03
lakhs
in
nine
screens
in
the
first
weekend.
Velaiyilla
Pattathari
Meanwhile,
Velaiyilla
Pattathari
is
still
going
strong
at
Malaysian
Box
Office.
It
is
expected
to
pull
the
crowds
for
a
few
more
weeks.
