On the other hand, Kamal Haasan’s Indian sequel has received mixed reactions and is gradually witnessed a fall in collections.
All in all, Kalki 2898 AD has enjoyed a freeway at the box office so far. On Wednesday, the film officially entered the 600 crore club in India, with exact collections of 602.1 crores. It aims to surpass Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan (640.42 crores) among the Top 5 highest-grossing Indian films.
It is also noted that earnings achieved the 7 crore mark yesterday because of the bank holiday owed to Muharram. Occupancies witnessed a better trend throughout the day, thus leading to an impressive total.
