Directed by Nag Ashwin, the film was released on Thursday, and despite being a mid-week release, it recorded a monstrous start in India. As reviews and word-of-mouth are mostly inclined on the positive side, the biggie didn’t go downhill after a fantastic start and maintained a stronghold. As a result, the film is turning out to be a true colossal grosser of India in 2024.
As per early trends flowing in, Kalki 2898 AD ended its day 3 by earning an impressive 66-68 crores (all languages). If compared with Friday’s 57 crores, it’s a jump of 15.78-19.29%, which is really good considering the overall number is big. After adding estimates, the film stands at a staggering 216-218 crores at the Indian box office after 3 days.
With a little push, Kalki 2898 AD had a chance of touching 70 crores on day 3, but the World Cup final impacted the occupancy of the night shows to some extent. Nonetheless, today, the mark of 70 crores is expected to be crossed comfortably.
The business of the Prabhas starrer is majorly driven by the Telugu and Hindi versions. After a blast on the opening day, the Telugu version has gone down in the next two days. On the other hand, the Hindi version has gone from strength to strength, which is a good sign.
