Kabali, Rajinikanth's highly awaited film, is finally in theatres
After all the buzz, Superstar Rajinikanth's Kabali is finally in theatres.And fans, who have waited over two years to see their idol back on screen, have been driving the massive hype around the film.In Kabali, Rajinikanth plays an ageing crime boss who takes on the bad guys in Malaysia who have been oppressing the Tamil migrant community there. His wife is played by Radhika Apte.Kabali opened in 4,000 screens all over the world on 22 July, Friday. It's an unprecedented number — but then everything about this film has been, fittingly enough, super-sized. It has already made over Rs 200 cr in pre-release business through the sale of rights for the various other language versions (apart from Tamil, Kabali is releasing in Telugu, Hindi, Malay and Malayalam, with talks on for Thai and Chinese dubbings as well), music and satellite deals.It's not been all smooth sailing — the film's opening scene was leaked on Whatsapp, and it is believed illegal download links were available on the dark web.However, Rajinikanth and his film have made it to the theatres and Firstpost is bringing you all the updates from the first day first show of Kabali as they unfold."Magizhchi!"
