Advance booking of only 8.65 crores from Hindi version

Apart from Prabhas, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ also stars Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Disha Patani and Kamal Haasan. But despite three Bollywood actors and Prabhas’ fan following among Bollywood audiences, this film has lagged behind in the Hindi version in advance booking. The Hindi version has earned only Rs 8.65 crore from advance booking. This is much less than Yash’s KGF 2 and Prabhas’ ‘Baahubali 2’. However, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is doing better in Hindi than Prabhas’ last release ‘Salaar’.

‘Kalki 2898’s budget is Rs 600 crore

Directed by Nag Ashwin and produced under the banner of Vaijayanti Films, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ has a budget of Rs 600 crore. The audience coming out of the morning shows on Thursday are calling it a good visual experience. However, most of the audience say that the pace of the story in the film is a bit slow and it seems more like preparing the ground for its part-2.

‘Kalki 2898 AD’ will lag behind in Hindi version on the first day

Kalki 2898 AD will have to put in a lot of effort to earn in the Hindi version. The advance booking of the film is Rs 8.65 crore in Hindi. In this regard, the film is seen earning around Rs 17-22 crore in Hindi on the opening day. The thing to understand here is that the Hindi version had the biggest role in the historical earnings of films like ‘Bahubali 2’, KGF2 and RRR. In such a situation, if Kalki 2898 AD has to make record-breaking earnings in the future, then it will have to woo the Hindi audience.

Gross collection of 120 crores on opening day in the country

This film has been released at a time when Bollywood to South Cinema have proved to be big flops in 2024. But the huge advance booking of Rs 55.11 crore is telling that Kalki 2898 AD has come to settle everyone’s accounts. However, looking at the advance booking figures, the crowd of audience in the theaters since morning and the trend of on-spot booking, it is estimated that this film will take a gross opening of Rs 120-125 crore in the country on the first day including all languages.

Worldwide opening of over 200 crores

Prabhas has a strong fan following outside the country as well. The advance booking of the film has also been good in foreign countries. In such a situation, it is estimated that this film will gross around Rs 80 crore on the first day in foreign countries as well. If this happens, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ can gross Rs 200 crore worldwide on the opening day, including India and abroad.
