A still from Kick which collected Rs 83 crore in India on its opening weekend
Highlights
- Salman Khan`s Eid release Kick is expected to shatter all the records for the box-office collections on the first week in Pakistan.
- The movie has already drawn large crowds in some preview screenings in the multiplexes in Karachi. "By the way the advance bookings are going and seeing the huge crowds turning up for the preview screenings, Kick should be the biggest grosser and record breaker in Pakistan," said well known film distributor and exhibitor Nadeem Mandviwalla.
- In Pakistan, the record for the biggest box-office collections on the first day and first week are presently held by Dhoom: 3 with Aamir Khan in the lead role, which raked in a grand total of Rs 240 million while Pakistani blockbuster Waar starring Shaan Shahid had a net collection of Rs 230 million.
- "Kick should do better than them because the release timing is good as it is only after 10 days that a high profile new Bollywood movie Entertainment will be released in Pakistan," Nadeem said.
- "That means for nearly 10 days there is really no competition for Kick as the new Shaan spy thriller Operation one release has also been delayed by a few months although it was expected to be released on Eid."
- Saleem Ahmed, a manager at Bambino cinema, said that competition for Kick should come from two big Hollywood movies Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Hercules, which are also releasing on Eid.
- "But I think Kick will do big business because it is an action thriller with lots of stunts and action and Salman is a big draw even in Pakistan," he said.
- During the last Eid festival holidays, the censor board and ministry of culture and information had banned the exhibition of Salman`s thriller Ek Tha Tiger in the country as it revolved around the theme of a Pakistani spy agency.
