The nett collections of the film across India are the highest ever though this does not mean the highest opening collection ever in India as there are different rates of entertainment tax across India and they are generally lower in South India. The film has smashed all records in Tamil Nadu by becoming the first film to cross 20 crore in the state. The apprx all India breakdown for the collections of Kabali are as follows.

Tamil Nadu - 20,50,00,000

Nizam / Andhra - 9,50,00,000

Mysore / Kanataka - 7,00,00,000

GRAND TOTAL - 44,75,00,000 

The above collections are for Tamil, Telugu and Hindi versions of the film.  This is the highest ever NETT collection ever seen for the first day in India.
