Kaala completed its run at the Boxoffice and has turned out to be a Double Disaster, with the movie failing to recover even half of the investment.
The opening was below expectations and the mixed WOM added to the misery. The movie lacked the mass appeal that a certain ‘Kabali’ had.
Kaala was sold for around 155cr Worldwide and the Return on Investment(ROI) is less than 50% across all territories with AP/TG recovering less than 30%.

Normally, Rajini movies carry a huge hype pre-release, but Kaala failed to generate that sort of initial mainly owing to the storytelling of the director which doesn’t exactly suit Rajini’s mass following.
The same was the case with Kabali, as the audience were expecting a hardcore commercial film and got a family-centric gangster drama. So, the expectations were strictly in check for this one, but even with those low expectations the movie failed to deliver.
Kaala is directed by Pa Ranjit. produced by Dhanush under his own banner Wunderbar Films. Nana Patekar, Samuthirakani, Huma Qureshi, Anjali Patil are playing key roles in this movie. Music scored by Santosh Narayanan.
