Kabali is the second highest grossing film in the history of Tamil cinema few crores short of Rajnikan'ts own Enthiran (Robot In Hindi). That film had grossed around 196.84 crore nett across India with Tamil version doing 120 crore nett, Telugu version doing 53 crore nett and Hindi version grossing 23.84 crore nett.
Despite being the second biggest grosser ever in the Tamil Film industry the profits will not there 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 Rajnikant.
Kabali underperformed badly in its Hindi and Telugu versions but the Tamil one is HIT especially in Tamil Nadu. The Hindi version and Telugu version will not recover their costs from the distributors. The picture is different in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala where it will cover or go above the crazy prices paid for the film.
The business of the film across India in all versions was around 145 crore nett in the first week and 174.67 crore nett after second week. The lifetime business of Enthiran was 196.84 crore nett which is the highest grossing Tamil film across India and this is little short at 190 crore because of the business in Nizam / Andhra. In the local market Tamil Nadu, Kabali is the highest grossing Tamil film. In Nizam / Andhra, Einthiran (Robo) had grossed a huge 55 crore nett while Kabali grossed around 35 crore nett.
