Kabali,
starring
Rajinikanth
has
released
and
people
are
going
bonkers
as
all
the
shows
for
the
first
three
days
across
South
India
have
been
sold
out,
including
early
morning
3AM
shows!
Absolutely
crazy
isn't
it?
Now
the
question
on
everyone's
mind
is
will
Kabali
manage
to
beat
the
Salman
Khan
starrer
Sultan?
As
both
the
films
have
mass
hysteria
surrounding
it,
and
only
one
can
be
declared
as
the
final
winner
at
the
box
office
when
the
dust
settles
down.

Trade
Analyst
Atul
Mohan
says,
"By
the
time
Kabali
arrives
(this
Friday),
Sultan
will
attain
the
maximum
sales
of
its
lifetime.
Rajini
Sir
has
a
huge
following
down
South.
But
Hindi
audiences
would
love
to
see
him
in
sci-fi
films
like
Robot.
The
hype
surrounding
Kabali
is
great,
but
not
comparable
to
Robot.
But
still,
the
film
is
likely
to
score
well
in
the
Hindi
belt.
It
will
all
depend
on
how
the
product
is.
But
trust
me,
the
business
down
South
will
be
crazy
and
unheard
of;
and
overseas
as
well."
A
top
employee
of
a
multiplex
chain
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Traditionally,
Rajinikanth's
films
have
never
done
well
in
their
dubbed
Hindi
versions.
Even
Shankar's
Robot
was
only
a
moderate
success
in
Hindi.
It's
doubtful
that
Kabali
would
make
any
dent
in
the
collections
of
Sultan."
