Kalki 2898 AD Expected To Sustain Strong Box Office Performance On Day 9

Kalki 2898 AD Box Office Collection Day 9 (Hindi) Prediction: Prabhas and Deepika Padukone's film, Kalki 2898 AD, is one of the year's major releases. Directed by Nag Ashwin, this dystopian sci-fi movie also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani, with Dulquer Salmaan and Vijay Deverakonda in cameo roles. Set in a post-apocalyptic world in 2898 AD, the film was released in multiple languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. It received rave reviews across all languages.

Interestingly, Kalki 2898 AD had an impressive start at the Hindi box office with an opening day collection of Rs 22.5 crores. This made it the highest opener of 2024. The film crossed the Rs 100 crores mark during its opening weekend despite a steady decline in numbers after day five (first Monday).

According to Sacnilk's report, Kalki 2898 AD earned Rs 16.5 crores on day five (first Monday), followed by Rs 13 crores on day six (first Tuesday), and Rs 11.3 crores on day seven (first Wednesday). The film maintained a strong presence at the box office into its second week, collecting Rs 10.5 crores on day eight (second Thursday), bringing its total earnings to Rs 162.8 crores.

Given this trend, Kalki 2898 AD is expected to maintain its momentum and earn around Rs 9-10 crores today (day nine/second Friday), potentially surpassing the Rs 170 crores mark. It is anticipated that the film will cross Rs 200 crores during its second weekend. With Lakshya's much-anticipated film Kill releasing today, it remains to be seen if Kalki 2898 AD can sustain its box office performance in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Kalki 2898 AD reportedly explores some events from the Mahabharata set in the year 3102 BC. In an interview with Deadline, Nag Ashwin clarified that the movie "does not involve any characters actively worshipped by large numbers of Hindus." He added, "We can take it as extremely religious or we can take it as the story of somebody who was born with a lot of power, didn't know what to do with it, and found his mentor in the process."

The film's unique storyline and star-studded cast have contributed significantly to its success. As audiences continue to flock to theatres, Kalki 2898 AD's box office journey remains one to watch closely.
