Kick had a huge opening day as it grossed around 26 crore nett. The film looked it would get a higher number when it opened by eventually collections in places like UP, Maharashtra, Nizam/Andhra and Gujarat were hit by Ramadan as a chunk of the Muslim population stayed away.
The business is extraordinary for the pre Eid period. Even a 22-23 crore nett total would have been huge but the film has gone over 25 crore nett. Rajasthan gave the best performance as it went to near record levels. The areas which under performed will do better from Tuesday onwards.
Kick has recorded the fourth highest opening day ever and the second highest non holiday opening day ever. The decision to come on Friday rather than on Eid has proved correct as a 26 crore nett total is probably more than the producers expected on Pre Eid.
