"Kalki 2898 AD" has hit a new high by recording a global box office collection of Rs 700 crore.
Producers Vyjayanthi Movies shared the updated box office numbers on their social media handle, showcasing stunning stills of lead actress Deepika Padukone from her epic scene of walking through fire, a highlight of the film. The post was captioned, "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐬...," capturing the excitement surrounding the film’s success.
Released last Thursday, June 27, the film has so far amassed an estimated Rs 393.4 crore nett in its first week at the Indian box office alone. According to scanilk.com, the film's all-India gross collection stands at an estimated Rs 441.5 crore. Additionally, with Rs 168.5 crore collected from international markets, the film's 7-day gross total is estimated to be around Rs 610 crore gross.
Fans have been ecstatic, with one commenting, "Biggest blockbuster in Indian cinema history," and another noting, "Finally it reached on the budget of the film. Let's see how much profit this film earns."
As the Nag Ashwin film, also starring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan enters its second week, it is expected to see a boost in its box office numbers in the US, benefiting from the extended 4th of July weekend. However, it will face competition from Hollywood films. 'Inside Out', which has been dominating the box office, may see 'Despicable Me 4' race ahead in collections this weekend. Additionally, 'A Quiet Place' prequel is anticipated to perform well, thanks to positive reviews and strong word of mouth.
