Kalki 2898 AD Is Now One of the Top 5 Highest-Grossing Indian Movies

Kalki 2898 AD has cemented its place in this year’s box office. Nearly a month into its theatrical run, this sci-fi epic continues to dominate the box office, joining the elite ranks as one of the top five highest-grossing Indian movies ever. With a star-studded cast featuring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan, the film has continued to captivate audiences and maintained a steady stream of collections.

Kalki 2898 AD box office collection day 26: How much did Prabhas’ movie earn?

Prabhas and Deepika Padukone’s Kalki 2898 AD shows no signs of slowing down as it approaches the end of its first month in theaters. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film minted $239 thousand on its fourth Monday. Overall, bringing its net domestic total collection to $73.9 million.

Released on June 27, 2024, Kalki 2898 AD had an impressive start with an opening day collection of $11.3 million in India. The film faced minimal competition, as Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira and Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 did not garner the anticipated attention. Even with the release of Vicky Kaushal’s Bad Newz, Kalki 2898 AD’s box office collection has maintained its stronghold. The former has earned around $3.9 million since its opening weekend.

By day 23, Kalki 2898 AD had entered its fourth week and crossed the $71 million mark. As such, the movie secured its position as the fifth highest-grossing film in India. The top four films include Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, KGF Chapter 2, RRR, and Jawan. This achievement also makes Kalki 2898 AD the third biggest grosser for its lead actor, Prabhas. It trails only Baahubali 2 and Saaho.

Now, the film’s performance this week is crucial, as it faces competition from the Hollywood release Deadpool & Wolverine. With advance bookings already high, this new release could impact Kalki 2898 AD’s box office run. However, if it maintains its current pace, Kalki 2898 AD could surpass the $35 million mark in Hindi collections and potentially outdo Jawan’s all-India net collection of $76.5 million.
