Entering its fourth weekend, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ continues its remarkable box office journey, amassing a staggering Rs 600 crore in India. Directed by Nag Ashwin and featuring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Amitabh Bachchan in pivotal roles, the sci-fi epic has maintained strong earnings, with the third week alone contributing Rs 55.85 crore to its total.
The film’s success is evident across both Telugu and Hindi markets, with approximately Rs 271 crore from Telugu territories and Rs 265 crore from Hindi regions. Week-wise collections illustrate its dominance: Week 1 saw Rs 414.85 crore, Week 2 added Rs 128.5 crore, and Week 3 contributed Rs 55.85 crore, culminating in the impressive Rs 599.20 crore milestone.
However, as ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ braces for its fourth weekend, it faces a formidable challenger in ‘Bad Newz’, headlined by Vicky Kaushal and Triptii Dimri, which promises to draw significant attention in the Hindi cinema landscape. Despite previous releases failing to dent its performance, the arrival of ‘Bad Newz’ poses a fresh challenge, especially in multiplexes and the Northern market.
The clash between these two anticipated films highlights the competitive nature of the box office, where audience reception and screen distribution will play crucial roles in determining their respective successes in the coming days.
