Monday Box Office Update: Kalki 2898 AD Maintains Impressive Momentum, Poised for Blockbuster Status in Hindi Cinemas
The movie Kalki 2898 AD, directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Amitabh Bachchan in lead roles, has shown remarkable performance in terms of collections on its first Monday. Early trends suggest that the film is on track to collect between Rs 17 to 18 crore on the fifth day, bringing the total collections to Rs 124.50 crore. The film’s hold is strong across all theaters, including single screens and multiplexes, and it has the potential to become a blockbuster in the long run in Hindi cinema, thanks to its successful performance on Monday.
Kalki 2898 AD Shows Extraordinary Performance on Monday
As of Monday at 3.30 PM, the top three national chains – PVRInox and Cinepolis – have collectively earned Rs 5.30 crore, compared to Rs 6.20 crore on Friday at the same time. This reflects a relatively small drop of 15 percent for Kalki 2898 AD in the national chains, with even stronger performance in other areas. The momentum is expected to continue as the day progresses, with a possibility of reaching the Rs 19 crore mark, depending on the turnout for night shows.
The film’s performance on Monday is particularly impressive as it is the fifth day for Prabhas and Deepika Padukone’s movie, as opposed to the usual fourth day norm. This strong performance on Monday indicates a promising future for Kalki 2898 AD at the box office in North India, with a chance to enter the coveted Rs 300 crore club. The film’s trajectory is reminiscent of RRR, which earned Rs 276 crore in the Hindi markets. With an additional day of Rs 20 crore, Kalki 2898 AD has a solid chance of reaching the Rs 300 crore milestone, solidifying its status as a blockbuster.
The movie continues to perform exceptionally well in mass pockets on Monday, recovering from the impact of the World Cup games on Thursday and Saturday. There is a strong positive response to Kalki 2898 AD among Hindi audiences, with audience word of mouth serving as a validation.
