Kabaali (Hindi) grossed 13.25 crore nett which is not good enough for the costs but its a fair result for a dubbed film from the South. The Tamil version has done much better in the Hindi markets and those prints are included in the price and if added on it will be 15.50-16 crore nett weekend. The film has done pretty well in Mumbai and Central India markets but North and East are poor. Despite so so business it has easily beaten Madaari despite being a dubbed film. The all India collections of Kabali will be updated later. The weekend business of Kabali (Hindi) is as follows.
Friday - 3,50,00,000
Saturday - 4,50,00,000
Sunday - 5,25,00,000
TOTAL - 13,25,00,000
Madaari is a poor fare with just 8 crore nett coming over the weekend. The film had fair growth over the weekend but with such a low starting point that is always likely. The film is not costly and a 10 crore nett weekend could have been okay which could have helped to a respectable lifetime total. The weekend business of Madaari is as follows.
Friday - 1,75,00,000
Saturday - 2,75,00,000
Sunday - 3,50,00,000
TOTAL - 8,00,00,000
The shocker is that the film has been given a fair Overseas release with over 100 prints. It has even been released in UK which is a no no for small films as there is no recovery for them and Madaari is no different. The cost to release 15 od prints in UK is totally lost as collections are so low. Maybe the makers thought Irrfan Khan who has had roles in some western films could push it but it does not work that way and the NRI audience will not come in the first weekend for an Irrfan Khan starrer.
