'Kalki 2898 AD' Eyes Strong Four-Day Weekend at Indian Box Office
Kalki 2898 AD has maintained its strong performance at the Indian box office, with early estimates suggesting a 65 crore second-day collection. This is an impressive hold considering that the second day fell on a Friday, a typically weaker day for releases.
The two-day total at the Indian box office currently stands at approximately 166 crore, with the film poised for a 310-320 crore four-day extended weekend.
Hindi Version Leads the Charge
The Hindi dubbed version of Kalki 2898 AD has seen exceptional stability, with collections remaining at first-day levels. Despite a 10-15% drop being considered acceptable, the film's performance has remained remarkably consistent.
The Hindi version has netted approximately 42 crore over the first two days, with expectations of reaching 100 crore during the four-day weekend.
Regional Holds
In South India, Kerala has witnessed the strongest hold, with the second-day collection matching the first day's performance. Telugu states have seen a slight drop in collections, a common trend for these regions.
Nizam and Andhra are expected to see lower collections on the second day, but Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are holding strong and anticipate gains over the weekend.
