Yet another Bollywood movie has made its way to China and its none other than Hrithik Roshan's 2017 release Kaabil. Sanjay Gupta's directorial venture hit the screens on June 5 but sadly failed to get cash registers ringing at the China box office in the first two days. Though the blue-eyed actor was super excited about his film's release in China and even attended its premiere in Beijing on June 2, Kaabil, unfortunately, got off to a slow start at the ticket windows and will now have to pick up the pace to ensure a good opening weekend figure.

Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to the microblogging site Twitter a while back and announced the film's collection. He tweeted, "#Kaabil has a shockingly low start in #China... Needs to score big numbers [from Fri to Sun] for a satisfactory *extended* weekend total... Wed $ 0.48 mn, Thu $ 0.66 mn. Total: $ 1.31 million [₹ 9.09 cr]. Includes previews held earlier."
Interestingly, Hrithik has a huge fan following in China and his fans even lovingly call him Da Shuai. It means very handsome in Mandarin. Well, in that case, we think Duggu's nickname is absolutely perfect. Anyway, coming back to Kaabil, the action thriller was a big hit in India but looks like it hasn't made an impact on the Chinese audience at least till now.

Last month, Sridevi and Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer Mom also released in China and the movie immediately stormed the China box office. Just a few days back, it even entered the Rs 100 crore club and we assume it's still drawing the crowd to the cinema halls.
