Superstar Rajinikanth-starring Tamil action-drama "Kabali" is unstoppable at the North American box-office, raking in a whopping $3.5 million in just two days including the premieres.

"Kabali" was distributed via CineGalaxy Inc in North America, which includes the US and Canada.

"At $3.5 million, 'Kabali' has emerged as the top grossing Tamil film and second highest south Indian grosser after 'Baahubali'. Despite mixed reviews, the film has done exceptionally well across all centres throughout North America," Sanjay, co-founder of CineGalaxy Inc, told IANS.

Directed by Pa Ranjith, "Kabali" narrates the story of a gangster's shot at redemption and how he fights for equal pay rights for Tamils in Malaysia.

For the distribution company CineGalaxy Inc, "Kabali" joins their long list of successful ventures such as "Nannaku Prematho", "Theri" and "24" this year.

Released in nearly 5000 screens worldwide, "Kabali" has raked in over Rs 150 crore worldwide in its opening weekend.
