Kalki 2898 AD Continues Stellar Run at Box Office
The epic sci-fi film Kalki 2898 AD, helmed by Nag Ashwin and featuring a star-studded cast including Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Disha Patani, and Kamal Haasan, maintained its impressive performance at the Hindi box office, raking in a substantial Rs 13-13.50 crore on its sixth day.
The film has now amassed a six-day cumulative revenue of Rs 136 crore, with a promising extended first-week projection of around Rs 160 crore nett. It faces a comparatively clear week ahead, encountering only niche competition from Kill and the animated Hollywood release Despicable 4.
Industry analysts predict that with its current trajectory, Kalki 2898 AD may surpass the Rs 250 crore nett mark, and even potentially reach Rs 300 crore. Notably, the film's remarkable success is driven primarily by its Hindi collections, with minimal contributions from its regional language releases.
The global revenue of the film is approaching Rs 600 crore gross, and it is anticipated to cross this milestone on day 7.
