Kalki 2898 AD box office collection day 28: Prabhas-starrer struggling to get past Jawan collections, earns over Rs 622 crore

Kalki 2898 AD box office collection day 28: Despite competition from recent releases like Bad Newz, Indian 2 and Sarfira, Nag Ashwin’s dystopian sci-fi film, Kalki 2898 AD, has maintained its strong hold on the box office. On its 28th day in thetares, the film minted Rs 1.6 crore, bringing its overall domestic earnings to over Rs 622.1 crore across languages, according to early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk.

Kalki 2898 AD earned approximately Rs 2 crore in India on Tuesday, which was slightly higher than the film’s Monday earnings of Rs 1.6 crore. While it’s closing in on the 640 crore mark set by Jawan, Kalki 2898 AD earned less than Jawan (Rs 2.05 crore) did on the same day of its release. With the release of highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine this week, it seems like Kalki 2898 AD is in the last leg of its theatrical run. The film’s ability to sustain momentum in the face of this fresh competition will be a key factor in determining its final box office tally.

Kalki 2898 AD has exceeded expectations, dominating the box office since its June 27. The film has amassed a staggering Rs 733 crore gross in India and as per the makers, the film  alone and an additional Rs 270 crore overseas, becoming the fifth biggest Indian grosser domestically and the eighth biggest Indian film internationally.
