Kamal Gianchandani, chief executive officer, PVR Pictures, said as of today, it’s not likely for an Indian film to do Rs.250 crore gross in a single day. The media, however, didn’t pause to question if this kind of a figure is even probable for an Indian film in a single day. New Delhi: Last week, amid the hype surrounding superstar Rajinikanth’s latest release Kabali, media reports said the film’s first day gross collection was Rs.250 crore. Atul Mohan, editor of trade magazine Complete Cinema, is more circumspect: “After a few years, this Rs.250 crore number won’t look so big, like today we talk about 100 crore or 50 crore which seemed too huge at one point. Turns out, it’s not even remotely possible for an Indian film to do such numbers.
