Rajinikanth’s big Tamil release Kaala hit screens today amidst a lot of fan frenzy. Fans have been celebrating the release of the movie by singing and dancing outside the cinema halls. And seeing this madness of fans, it seems the film is going to make a grand opening at the box office. Film trade analyst Girish Johar has predicted that Kaala will open in India (all languages) with a collection of Rs 25-30 crore approximately.

On being asked about the performance of Rajinikanth starrer at the ticket counters, Johar told indianexpress.com, “The film will have a strong opening in the South but in the Hindi market, it will be a tad bit slow. Overall, the film is expected to earn Rs 25-30 crore on the day of its release.” Also, Johar has said that the controversies around the film might have an impact on its box office performance. “Kaala has been marred by controversies. So, it might affect the box office numbers of the film,” added Johar.
