If recent reports pertaining to Kick's BO collection are to be believed then the movie has literally set BO on fire, and besides emerging as the biggest opener of the year it is expected to emerge as fastest 100 crore maker of the year too.
On the opening day, disapproving the trade estimate of Rs 22-24 crore 'Kick' raked in Rs 26.4 crore (net) in India followed by a massive collection of Rs 27.15 cr on Saturday, and Rs 30.18 cr on Sunday making a grand total of Rs 83.83 cr nett in just 3 days.

— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) July 28, 2014Although 'Kick' failed in breaking the record of Aamir's 'Dhoom 3' to emerge as the biggest non-holiday opener, but still the makers have all the good reason to be happy about for having second highest non-holiday openers in their kitty.
It is also pertinent to mention that Salman's previous cine outing 'Jai Ho' failed to live upto the expectations and collected only 17 Cr on its opening day and even its life time collection breathed its last at Rs 117 Cr mark. But this time with 'Kick', Khan seems to have compensated for everything which he lost with 'Jai Ho'.
Subtitled in seven different languages 'Kick' received the widest release for a Bollywood movie with approx 5000 screens worldwide.
In-fact reports even suggest that besides India 'Kick' has succeeded in receiving a warm reception overseas too. In North America the movie has raked in almost $340,000 which is reportedly is the highest opening for any of the Salman starrers till date. Even in UK and Australia, Kick has done a good business and has earned $ 118,616 and $61,921 respectively. Now with Eid holiday ahead the movie is expected to set new record on the BO. Now that's what we call the Sal-Mania...
