Overpricing of tickets for Kabali... and it is reported that theatres flout norms and officials warn of action....
The economics of Kabali: What happens if Thalaivar's movie flops?
Will it be Lingaa Part 2, if the movie doesn’t perform well?
A hardcore Rajinikanth fan would tell you that is impossible that a Rajini film flops.

Tamil movies make money from different avenues. The biggest chunk of the profits come from theatrical rights sold for Tamil Nadu. Apart from that, dubbing rights are sold for other languages like Telugu and Hindi, Tamil rights in other states in India, and for international markets like US, Europe, Middle East and South East Asia.
