As of day 20, Kalki 2898 AD has amassed an impressive ₹594.55-₹594.85 crores in India alone
Kalki 2898 AD, starring Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, continues its remarkable box office run, poised to break records previously set by Baahubali 2. Directed by Nag Ashwin, this epic science fiction film has been a major success, consistently drawing audiences even in its third week.
As of day 20, Kalki 2898 AD has amassed an impressive ₹594.55-₹594.85 crores in India alone, demonstrating a steady increase from the previous day’s collections of ₹4.40 crores to ₹5-₹5.30 crores.
The film’s consistent performance can be attributed to its captivating storyline and stellar cast, which includes Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani alongside Prabhas and Deepika Padukone.
The movie has also benefited from the lackluster performance of other recent releases, such as Indian 2 and Sarfira, leading to increased screen availability for Kalki 2898 AD. With a budget of ₹600 crores, the film has already recovered its costs and is now heading towards significant profit margins.
On day 20, the movie saw a jump in night show attendances, largely due to the public holiday for Moharram and the auspicious Ashadi Ekadashi in Maharashtra. This surge is expected to push the film into the ₹600 crores club, making it the first film of 2024 to achieve this milestone.
The path is now clear for Kalki 2898 AD to target the record set by Baahubali 2, which grossed ₹510 crores in its lifetime run. With its current trajectory, the film is likely to surpass this benchmark, further solidifying its status as a monumental success in Indian cinema.
