KABALI has smashed the NETT figures of SULTAN for the first weekend which means its a new record in terms of nett collections. SULTAN had set a new record with 105.50 crore nett and KABALI has surpassed by around 4 crore nett though is a three language release. In terms of GROSS it will not be a record as the business coming from Tamil Nadu is tax free and even in other states like Nizam / Andhra, Karnataka and Kerala the tax is lower than most Hindi film circuits. The collections had a drop after day one but that is the trend for most big films ins the South.  The approx all India breakdown for the first weekend nett collections of KABALI are as follows.
Tamil Nadu - 48,00,00,000
Nizam / Andhra - 20,25,00,000
Mysore / Kanataka - 16,50,00,000
Kerala - 8,50,00,000
Rest Of India - 16,00,00,000 (This includes not only Hindi but Tamil and Telugu playing outside South India)
GRAND TOTAL - 109,25,00,000

The apprx daily breakdown was 46 crore nett, 31 crore nett and 32.25 crore nett. The collections are extraordinary and it looks on course to be the biggest Tamil film in the history of that industry. The Gross collections of India and Worldwide (as Overseas is fantastic) will be compiled later to see where this one man driven film stands against the big films of Indian cinema.
--------------------
KABALI has done unbelievable business at an all India level. The Hindi version may not have done well and the Telugu version is also not going to be upto the mark but in its original format Tamil it is huge wherever released. There was a drop in collections on Monday but that tends to happen with films down South which open so huge.  The business of KABALI all India and all languages till date is as follows.
Friday - 46,00,00,000
Saturday  - 31,00,00,000
Sunday  - 32,25,00,000
Monday - 13,50,00,000
Grand TOTAL 1,22,75,00,000

The film will be the highest grossing film in the history of Tamil cinema beating the business of  Rajnikanth's own ENTHIRAN (ROBOT In Hindi). That film had grossed around 195 crore nett across India with Tamil version doing 120 crore nett, Telugu version doing 53 crore nett and Hindi version grossing 22 crore nett. The way this film is going it will cross that mark with the Tamil version probably doing 100 crore nett alone in Tamil Nadu.

Despite being the biggest grosser ever in the Tamil Film industry the profits will not be huge as it fetched 132 crore from distributors across India for the various circuits. But this is mainly to do with the distributors paying a premium due to Rajinikanth and does not take away from the fact it has created history. It will probably become the second film down South after BAAHUBALI to cross 200 crore nett and the first Tamil film to cross 200 crore nett. The Telugu version will not beat the business of ENTHIRAN (ROBO in Telugu) but the Tamil version will surpass.
