Will Kali break Loham first day collection record ?
Kali, the Sameer Thahir directorial film starred by young star Dulquer Salman and new sensation Sai Pallavi is hitting the screens all over Kerala tomorrow. The film is coming with a lot of hype around it and expected to take a bumper opening at box office. Dulquer Salmaan is the biggest crowd puller among the new generation of actors in Mollywood. But the big question in everyone’s mind right now is whether Kali will be able to set a new opening day collection record by breaking the collection record set by Loham starred by Mohanlal and directed by Renjith.
Loham had set a collection record of 2.54 rupees from its first day and the second best is another Mohanlal starrer named Casanova which grossed around 2.13 crores in the year 2011, on its opening day from Kerala alone. Dulquer Salmaan is the only actor other than Mohanlal who crossed 2 cr gross on the opening day of his film. It was Charlie which released in last year’s Christmas season which done it for Dulquar Salman. Charlie had got a figure of 2.06 crores on its first day from Kerala.
Loham had released in 141 screens all over Kerala and Charlie had released around 121 screens. Kali tomorrow releasing in 110 screens all over Kerala and everyone is anticipating a great opening which can go over 2 crore rupees gross on the first day. But breaking Loham record is very tough.
Because Nivin Pauly film action hero Biju had come with an expectation to break that record by releasing in 131 screens all over Kerala. But it only managed to get a figure around 1.59 crore on its first day. Kali has lesser number of screens than Action Hero Biju and it is releasing on a time in which exams are still not over in Kerala.
The main target of the film seems to be youngsters and the exam season may make then stay out of the theater till March 28, as exams will be over by that date. So the first day opening can suffer a slump due to that. But nothing can be predicted as it is a Dulquer Salmaan-Sameer Thahir film.
