Notes

  1. ↑ Box office gross values of ₹650 crore were reported for Kabali in the first 13 days by several organisations including Financial Express and Indian Express, which were more than double the estimates made by other sources. International Business Times (IBT) and Firstpost criticized these estimates as inflated, explaining the discrepancy as due in part to the addition of "pre-release business" figures, such as music and satellite rights sales of ₹200 crore, being factored into the box office sales totals. Firstpost wrote, "More conservative estimates put Kabali's collections at around Rs 300 crores from worldwide ticket sales." IBT's analysts in August 2016 estimated the film's worldwide gross total of its first 13 days at around ₹350 crore (US$52.09 million). Figures given in December 2016 by Financial Express indicated an estimated domestic gross of ₹215 crore and an overseas gross of ₹262 crore, which total ₹477 crore. A figure of USD$77 million given by Forbes in May 2017 converted to approximately ₹493–499 crore. According to International Business Times in October 2017, Kabali's final worldwide gross was around ₹286 crore (US$34 million).
