Kalki 2898 AD box office collections: Prabhas starrer surpass Pathaan with 660cr in India after 18 days
The Prabhas starrer has become the sixth highest-grossing film in India, surpassing Pathaan on Saturday. The next target is Animal, which it is expected to overtake in a day or two.
Kalki 2898 AD continued its strong performance in its third weekend, grossing approximately Rs. 40 crore at the Indian box office. The drop from the second weekend was under 65 per cent, which is impressive considering the significant reduction in showings on Friday due to the release of Indian 2 and Sarfira. However, the underperformance of these new releases allowed Kalki to regain its lost showings, resulting in a substantial increase in collections on Saturday, with numbers more than doubling across India.
The eighteen-day total gross for Kalki 2898 AD now stands at Rs. 661.50 crore. The Prabhas starrer has become the sixth highest-grossing film in India, surpassing Pathaan on Saturday. The next target is Animal, which it is expected to overtake in a day or two to secure the fifth position. After the third weekend, Rs. 700 crore seems like a realistic target, provided the film maintains its momentum in the coming weeks.
