‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is aiming to surpass ‘Jawan’ by the end of its fourth weekend in India. The film recorded its lowest single-day business in India on the third Monday. The Prabhas-starrer earned a total of Rs 584.45 crore nett after 19 days at the domestic box office with Rs 4.3 crore nett on its third Monday, July 15.

The Shah Rukh Khan-starrer minted Rs 640.25 crore nett in its overall run at the Indian box office and ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is expected to go past this figure now. The film’s performance has been extraordinary in all the markets, but the way it performed in the Hindi belt is noteworthy. The Nag Ashwin-directorial has earned around Rs 257.1 crore nett business in 19 days from the Hindi market alone. This is just slightly behind the business from the Telugu market where the film collected Rs 267.1 crore in 19 days, reported the trade website sacnilk.

Week 1: Rs 414.85 crore
Week 2: Rs 128.5 crore
Friday: Rs 6 crore
Saturday: Rs 14.35 crore
Sunday: Rs 16.45 crore

While beating ‘Jawan’ is going to be a cakewalk for ‘Kalki’, it will be interesting to see if it can go past that and challenge the overall business of ‘RRR’ in India. The SS Rajamouli-directorial earned Rs 782.2 crore nett in India and ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ will have to achieve a mammoth feat to become the third highest-grossing Indian film of all time at the domestic box office.

Baahubali 2: Rs 1030.42 crore
KGF 2: Rs 859.7 crore
RRR: Rs 782.2 crore
Jawan: Rs 640.25 crore
Kalki 2898 AD: Rs 584.45 crore

Interestingly, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ will soon become the third highest-grossing South Indian film in Hindi after ‘Baahubali 2’, which collected Rs 511 crore nett and ‘KGF 2’, which earned Rs 435 crore nett in the Hindi market. The sci-fi fantasy film is currently running at around Rs 257 crore, and it is aiming at going past ‘RRR”s Rs 272.80 crore to achieve the feat.

With no big film to challenge its run at the ticket window, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is likely to create a few more solid box office records, until ‘Deadpool’ hits the screens on July 26.
