Kick Collection Is Lesser Than Velaiyilla Pattathari At Malaysian Box Office

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. Continue reading the Box Office report on the slideshow...
