Blockbuster Alert: 'Kalki 2898 AD' Smashes Records with Historic Opening Day Collections – Beats Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan'!

 Filmmaker Nag Ashwin's highly anticipated "Kalki 2898 AD" premiered on Thursday, June 27, featuring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Amitabh Bachchan in leading roles. This dystopian sci-fi spectacle has emerged as the third largest Indian opener globally.


Based on early projections by industry tracker Sacnilk, the film achieved an impressive Rs 95 crore collection in India, surpassing the opening figures of Shah Rukh Khan's "Jawan." On its opening day, it garnered a total of Rs 115 crore worldwide.

Breaking down the earnings, "Kalki 2898 AD" collected Rs 64.5 crore nett from the Telugu version, Rs 24 crore nett from the Hindi version, Rs 4 crore nett from the Tamil version, and Rs 2.2 crore from the Malayalam version. The film enjoyed an overall Telugu occupancy rate of 85.15% on its first day in theaters.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world in the year 2898 AD, the film also stars Disha Patani and Kamal Haasan in key roles. Additionally, it features cameo appearances by stars such as Mrunal Thakur, Anna Ben, Vijay Devarakonda, Dulquer Salmaan, and Brahmanandam.


In a review for The Quint, Pratikshya Mishra wrote, "Ashwin’s film is more about 'effort' than 'effect' – the ambition is clear, and it's an impressive achievement. It's designed for mass appeal, evident from the intended reactions of cheers and applause. However, this energy depends on the crowd’s response. Unfortunately, the audience around me didn't seem as impressed, which might have affected the overall experience. Perhaps the film would fare better in a different setting."

The film's release has been eagerly awaited, and its performance on opening day suggests a strong start. With a star-studded cast and a unique dystopian premise, "Kalki 2898 AD" is poised to make a significant impact on the Indian film industry.
