KGF box office collection Day 4: Yash-Srinidhi film continues its stellar performance; Hindi version picks up pace

Considering KGF's stellar run at the box office so far, the film is set to recover the entire cost of the film of about Rs 80 crore by Tuesday.

Yash and Srinidhi Shetty starrer period drama KGF has done rather well at the box office despite tough competition from Shah Rukh Khan's Zero and Dhanush's Maari 2. In its three-day business since its release on Friday, KGF has earned over Rs 52.2 crore at the box office. Shah Rukh's Zero, however, seems to have underperformed as per the expectations but has crossed the Rs 100-crore mark. Maari 2 has also outperformed other Tamil releases.

Experts claim considering KGF's stellar run at the box office so far, the film is set to recover the entire cost of the film -- about Rs 80 crore -- by Tuesday. Apart from Kannada, the film was released in three different languages, including Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam.

KGF, which stands for Kolar Gold Fields , has been a phenomenal success in Karnataka, with its overall collection exceeding Rs 38 crore in the state alone. Directed by Prashanth Neel, the film, which is the first part of the duology, is just behind SS Rajamouli's blockbuster film Baahubali in the state. KGF's gross earning across Hindi markets has also been significant. The film (Hindi version) picked up momentum in the weekend, raking in over Rs 12.10 crore by Monday.
