Kalki 2898 AD has been running in theatres for two weeks now, and on its 14th day of release, the film made Rs 7.5 crore in India. This takes its nett domestic total to Rs 536.75 crore, as per industry tracker Sacnilk. After recording a drop of over 75 percent on its second Monday, when it made Rs 10.4 crore, the film’s collections have stayed in the single digits. From Tuesday to Wednesday, the film saw a drop of around 14 percent.
Kalki 2898 AD was released in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, and while it was making most of its money from the Telugu version in the beginning, the film is now largely making money in the Hindi belt. On day 14, the Hindi version made Rs 4.75 crore, while the Telugu version only made Rs 1.7 crore. Overall, the film’s Hindi version has made Rs 229.05 crore, and the Telugu version has made Rs 252.1 crore. Kalki 2898 AD saw an overall 13.81 percent Hindi occupancy and 18.6 percent Telugu occupancy on Wednesday.
The producers, Vyjayanthi Films, claimed on the 11th day of release that the film had made Rs 900 crore worldwide. The Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, which was one of the highest grossers of 2023, made Rs 915 crore worldwide during its lifetime. Kalki 2898 AD has now crossed that number. Animal was one of three global hits of 2023 alongside Jawan (Rs 1160 crore) and Pathaan (Rs 1055 crore), both starring Shah Rukh Khan.
Kalki 2898 AD is still the second-biggest hit for its lead star Prabhas, whose biggest hit remains SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2 which made over Rs 1788 crore worldwide in 2017. The Nag Ashwin film is now the biggest hit for veteran stars Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Hassan, who have been a part of the Indian film industry for many decades now.
Kalki 2898 AD will now face competition from Kamal Hassan’s Indian 2, especially in the south market. In Hindi too, the film will face competition against Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira.
