Kaala Box Office Update: The Rajinikanth Starrer Becomes Third Highest Grossing Tamil Film In The US
After taking a strong start, Rajinikanth's gangster-drama Kaala remained the top pick of the movie buffs on weekdays and managed to collect USD 1.71 Million in six days.
Rajinikanth
is
the
biggest
and
most
revered
name
in
Kollywood
today.
A
seasoned
performer,
'Thalaiva'
enjoys
a
strong
fan
following
thanks
to
his
grand
on-screen
image
and
humble
nature.
In
fact,
it
would
not
be
wrong
to
say
that
this
self-made
star's
fans
consider
him
to
be
a
demi-god.
At
present,
Rajini
is
in
the
limelight
because
of
his
latest
release
Kaala.
The
film
is
a
gangster-drama
and
features
the
Superstar
in
the
role
of
a
don
who
fights
for
the
rights
of
his
people.
Produced
by
actor
Dhanush,
it
has
been
directed
by
Pa
Ranjith
and
has
strong
political
undertones.
Kaala
hit
the
screens
on
June
7,
2018,
and
took
the
US
box
office
by
storm.
It
collected
more
than
USD
450K
on
the
first
day
itself.
The
impressive
start
lays
the
groundwork
for
an
impressive
first
week.
And,
it
seems
that
Kaala
has
lived
up
to
the
initial
expectations.
The
film
has
fared
well
at
the
US
box
office
much
to
the
delight
of
the
'Thalaiva
Army'.
With
Thalaiva
magic
in
full
swing,
here
is
a
detailed
look
at
the
box
office
performance
of
Kaala.
6-day
Collections
After
taking
a
strong
start,
Kaala
remained
the
top
pick
of
the
movie
buffs
on
weekdays
and
managed
to
collect
USD
1.71
Million
in
six
days.
Kaala
Joins
An
Elite
Club
Kaala's
impressive
performance
has
helped
it
become
the
third
highest
grossing
Tamil
film
in
the
US
market
after
Kabali
and
Enthiran.
Kabali's
Tamil
and
Telugu
versions
combined
had
grossed
USD
4.1
Million
while
the
Tamil
version
of
Shankar's
sci-fi
thriller
had
collected
nearly
USD
1.5
Million
at
the
US
box
office.
Positive
WOM
Seems
To
Have
Done
The
Trick
For
Kaala
Kaala
received
good
reviews
from
all
quarters
courtesy
its
massy
yet
relevant
plot.
As
such,
the
WOM
was
quite
favourable.
And,
this
seems
to
have
helped
Kaala
rake
in
the
moolah
on
the
weekdays
as
well.
The
Road
Ahead
Kaala's
first
week
collections
are
likely
to
be
around
USD
2
Million.
It
will
most
probably
remain
the
top
pick
of
Kollywood
fans
over
this
weekend
as
well.
However,
the
big
Eid
release
Race
3
might
eat
into
its
collections
and
eventually
prove
to
be
a
cause
of
concern
for
the
makers.
