Kalki 2898 AD box office collections: Prabhas starrer continues to hold well, Earns 441cr in India in 7 days
Kalki 2898 AD is expected to finish its eight-day extended week around Rs. 465 crore and then hit the Rs. 500 crore mark on Saturday.
Kalki 2898 AD grossed Rs. 28.50 crore approx on Wednesday, down 15 per cent from the previous day. The first seven days gross of the film at the Indian box office is Rs. 441 crore, ranking fourth highest ever, ahead of Jawan and trailing only behind Baahubali 2, KGF 2 and RRR. The film is expected to finish its eight-day extended week around Rs. 465 crore and then hit the Rs. 500 crore mark on Saturday.
The weekdays have sustained well for the Prabhas starter film with normal drops each day. The hold is good across the board w.r.t. to how the market generally behaves. For instance, weekdays generally hold strongly in Andhra Pradesh while Karnataka & Tamil Nadu are more weekend-heavy markets, and collections are in line with that. North India is now the biggest collecting region in terms of daily collections while Telugu states still lead in total gross.

Kalki 2898 AD is the most expensive Indian film ever made, with production costs exceeding Rs. 600 crore. It seemed very difficult to recover such a substantial investment after underwhelming trailers and then the first day didn't go as high as it could have in the Telugu states. However, things improved significantly since then, with a massive surge in collections on Sunday, followed by good holds on weekdays, which has made recovery a certainty for the film and it will end up with a decent amount of profits.
