As on Monday at 3.30 PM, the top 3 national chains – PVRInox and Cinepolis - have collected Rs 5.30 crore as compared to Rs 6.20 crore on Friday at the same time. It’s a nominal drop of 15 percent for Kalki 2898 AD in the national chains and the holds are even stronger in the mass belts. The momentum is expected to continue as the day passes by, and there is a possibility for the film to get towards the Rs 19 crore mark too, depending on how strong the walk-ins are in the night shows.

The hold is even better than usual because Monday is the fifth day for this Prabhas and Deepika Padukone film, as compared to the conventional norm of it being the fourth day. The strong hold on Monday has confirmed a long run for Kalki 2898 AD at the box office in North India and has now opened the gates for it to have a shot at entering the Rs 300 crore club too. The film is trending like RRR, which ended up earning Rs 276 crore in the Hindi markets. Kalki 2898 AD has an extra day of Rs 20 crore, which gives it a brighter chance of hitting the Rs 300 crore mark, making it a blockbuster.

The mass pockets are unstoppable on Monday and the film has started to make up for the loss caused by the world cup games on Thursday and Saturday. There is a solid appreciation for Kalki 2898 AD among the audiences in Hindi, and this trend is a validation of audience word of mouth.
