Kick has already collected Rs 62 crore from overseas markets till Wednesday and the collections could go up even higher, trade analyst Taran Adarsh said in a tweet.
Kick's success makes Salman Khan the first Bollywood actor to have seven Rs 100 crore movies to his credit, according to Mr Adarsh: Ek Tha Tiger, Dabangg 2, Bodyguard, Dabangg, Ready, and Jai Ho.
With Kick, director Sajid Nadiadwala has also moved into record books. He has become director whose first movie has grossed over Rs 200 crore.
