The
Pre-release
Business
Reportedly,
Kaala
was
made
with
a
budget
of
above
130
Crores
and
was
undoubtedly
one
of
the
most
expensive
movies
of
the
recent
times.
According
to
the
reports,
the
film
had
made
a
stunning
pre-release
business
of
approximately
230
Crores,
including
the
theatrical
and
music
rights
of
the
movie.
The
100-Crore
Mark
According
to
the
early
reports,
Kaala
managed
to
cross
the
100-Crore
mark
at
the
worldwide
box
office
and
that
too,
within
the
3
days
of
its
run
in
theatres.
But
fact
remains
that
Kaala
had
slowed
down
in
the
later
days.
In
Tamil
Nadu
Kaala
has
done
a
supreme
business
in
Tamil
Nadu,
especially
in
Chennai
where
it
did
set
an
opening
day
collection
record.
In
fact,
the
movie
also
went
on
to
enter
the
10-Crore
club
at
the
Chennai
box
office
and
thus
proving
its
dominance.
Rest
Of
The
Country
In
Kerala,
the
film
had
a
fine
opening
but
it
hasn't
done
a
business
at
par
with
Kabali,
which
fetched
close
to
20
Crores.
At
the
same
time,
the
movie
also
had
to
face
tight
competition
from
Abrahaminte
Santhathikal.
According
to
some
of
the
reports,
the
film
couldn't
do
a
grand
business
in
the
Telugu
speaking
regions
as
well.
Certain
reports
suggest
that
the
Hindi
dubbed
version
of
Kaala
managed
to
fetch
approximately
10
Crores
so
far.
The
Overseas
Box
Office
According
to
a
latest
report
by
IBTimes,
Kaala
has
crossed
the
50-Crore
mark
at
the
overseas
box
office.
The
film
has
had
a
decent
run
in
the
overseas
centres.
But,
in
comparison
with
Kabali,
the
collections
have
been
on
much
the
lower
side.
The
Way
Ahead
It
has
to
be
seen
whether
Kaala
can
go
on
to
cross
the
200-Crore
mark
at
the
worldwide
box
office
or
not.
The
release
of
Tik
Tik
Tik
has
offered
a
tougher
competition
for
the
movie.
Anyhow,
it
has
to
be
said
that
much
bigger
figures
were
expected
from
this
Rajinikanth
starrer,
which
is
truly
a
well-made
film.
