KGF box office collection Day 6: Rocking Star Yash's film creating history

Rocking Star Yash's KGF is setting new records and creating history at the box office. The movie, which is originally made in Kannada, has pulling the audience to theatres in big numbers and already declared the biggest hit in the history of Sandalwood.

The Kannada film had managed to draw the viewers' attention as it registered $62,014 from 61 locations.
