  2. The much-awaited Rajinikanth-starrer Kaala released on Thursday across 2,500 screens in India. The first show in Chennai started 4 am. Meanwhile, the movie was allegedly streamed on Facebook from Singapore. Later, police arrested the person responsible for the alleged live-streaming. The movie was not screened in Karnataka on Thursday. Stray incidents of violence were reported in Bengaluru, sources said, as pro-Kannada groups travelled to various theatres and malls in the city and vandalised banners and posters of the film. The movie is facing protests in Karnataka over Rajinikanth's alleged comments on the Cauvery issue. The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) said the film would neither be distributed nor screened in the state. But the Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to block the release of Kaala and said it could nolt put on hold the screening just a day ahead of its release. Kaala has started getting positive reviews, and the producer says it is set for a grand success. The movie has already minted over Rs 2.30 billion. According to reports, it needs another Rs 2.80 billion to be declared a commercial hit. Kaala is directed by Pa Ranjith, whose last collaboration with Rajinikanth was Kabali, which reportedly collected over Rs 6.50 billion worldwide. The movie's overseas business was a whopping Rs 2.59 billion, said sources. Fans have tweeted saying the wait was worth it. "Kaala pakka masssss... #Thalaivar all side sixer," tweeted an excited fan during the film's interval. Their verdict: "Once A King, Always A King." Rajinikanth's fans started distributing cakes among audiences who came to watch the 4am show in Chennai. Family audiences flocked to theatres in large numbers. Fans in Mumbai gathered for the first day first show in Carnival cinemas in Wadala. Kaala, a gangster movie written and directed by Pa Ranjith, released after a series of controversies. Initially, the movie’s release was repeatedly postponed due to a producers' strike in Kollywood. After the withdrawal of the strike, there were reports about the movie being hit with a plagiarism scandal, which was later resolved in the Madras High Court.
