"Kabali" has storm has taken the total of South India at the moment. Especially in Chennai, many theatres have sold out tickets for the total first week already. Guess what, in places like Bangalore, they are hosting special screens in Five star hotels too.
Big jokes that are being thrown by even film celebs in Tamilnadu on these tickets. They say, "if you are not from the families of ministers, MPs, MLAs, IPS or IAS officers or from Revenue and IT departments, it's impossible to get tickets of Kabali right now". This is meant to be a joke, but in reality the situation is the same way.
Nearly 350 screens are screening Kabali on Day 1 in Chennai alone, but as of now almost all the theatres are filled and 'Houseful' boards are being hanged.
