Kaala Box Office collection: Rajinikanth film set to rake in Rs 5 crore on Day 1

Kaala Box Office collection: Expectations from Rajinikanth starrer, the much awaited film Kaala, are very high. As with anything to do with Rajinikanth, it is larger than life! The film released on Thursday. In this Pa Ranjith film that also stars Huma Qureshi and has Nana Patekar as antagonist, all Rajinikanth fans are excited at the prospect of witnessing the magic of Thalaivar on the big screen once again. Although posters and the Kaala trailer have already raised expectations of Rajini fans to new highs, the moot question remains whether Rajinikanth, in this gangster avatar, will be able to set the numbers rolling at the Box Office too?
 
Trade experts reportedly say that the Hindi version of Rajinikanth's Kaala is likely to rake in a total of close to Rs 5 crore. A TimesNow report quoted trade expert Akshaye Rathi as saying, "If you look at the way films have performed in the last few weeks, there is strong likelihood that this film will do well. 2018, in particular, has been a year wherein most of the films have performed extremely well. Let’s hope that Kaala also rides that way. But I certainly think that from the Hindi version alone, a convenient Rs 4.5 crore-Rs 5 crore is possible, and anything above that can happen.”
 
Rathi also said that the first weekend collection of Kaala should easily stand between Rs 15-18 crore, adding that the figures can even go higher.
