With 127 crore in its pocket, the film has shattered the records of "Jab Tak Hain Jaan", "Ready" and "Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela".
"Kick" is now heading for the ₹200 crore benchmark at the domestic box office. The collection trend of "Kick" is similar to last year's Eid release "Chennai Express". Therefore, the film has high chances of crossing the double century mark by second weekend or second week.
Also, "Kick" will have an uninterrupted box office run for the coming week, as no films are releasing.
