About Rs.47 crore of this comes from Tamil Nadu alone, another Rs.20 crore from Andhra Pradesh, Rs.16 crore from Karnataka, Rs.8 crore from Kerala and the remaining Rs.19 crore from the rest of India, Pillai said. The Tamil film’s opening weekend earnings are about Rs.70 crore less than recent Hindi blockbuster Sultan. “An ongoing limitation that Kabali faces is the ticket price cap in Tamil Nadu where it has had a wide release. Unlike the north, where movie tickets may be sold at astronomical rates, theatres in Tamil Nadu cannot have ticket prices higher than Rs.120. New Delhi: Rajinikanth-starrer Kabali netted box office collections of Rs.110 crore over the weekend after its release in about 3,000-3,500 screens across the country according to independent trade analyst Sreedhar Pillai.
