Kaala total worldwide box office collection: Rajinikanth starrer incurs huge losses to distributors

Rajinikanth's Kaala has ended up as the biggest Kollywood disaster at the worldwide box office this year. With its poor lifetime collection, the movie has incurred huge losses to its global distributors.

Amidst huge hype and expectations, Kaala was released in a record number of cinema halls on June 7 and received a good response, but the mixed word of mouth affected its collection in the following weeks. The movie has been withdrawn from most of the theatres a week before it completed 50 days.

Kaala has reportedly collected Rs 60.30 crore gross in Tamil Nadu, Rs 37.5 crore gross in other parts of India and Rs 52.6 crore gross in the US, the UK, Malaysia and other international markets.

Kaala has reportedly Rs 150.40 crore gross at the worldwide box office in 45 days of its release. The Pa-Ranjith-directed movie has ended up becoming the fifth highest grossing movie of Rajinikanth, as it has failed to beat the lifetime collection records of his previous films like Shivaji (Rs 155 crore) and Lingaa (Rs 154 crore).
