In an extraordinary achievement, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ has emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of 2024, raking in over Rs 600 crore domestically. The film, now in its fourth weekend, added an impressive Rs 17.4 crore to its total earnings. The Hindi version alone has garnered Rs 275.9 crore, surpassing the popular film ‘RRR’ to become the third highest-grossing South Indian film in the Hindi market. The movie is on track to reach the significant Rs 300 crore milestone.
This week, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ faces stiff competition from the much-anticipated Marvel blockbuster ‘Deadpool and Wolverine,’ starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. With substantial pre-release buzz, this Hollywood film is expected to have one of the biggest openings for a Hollywood movie in India, which could impact ‘Kalki 2898 AD’s’ box office performance.
Despite its remarkable success, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ might soon surpass ‘Jawan’ in India, with ‘Jawan’ having a current total of Rs 1004.7 crore. However, it still lags behind ‘Jawan’s’ global earnings of Rs 1160 crore. The entry of ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ into the market might shift the global box office focus, presenting a challenge for ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ to maintain its strong momentum.
Produced by Vyjayanthi Movies, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ boasts an impressive ensemble cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani. The film is celebrated for its high production value, with a budget of Rs 600 crore, making it the most expensive Indian film to date. The movie’s success can also be attributed to its stellar technical team, including music by Santhosh Narayanan, cinematography by Serbian Djordje Stojiljkovic, and editing by Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao.
Looking to the future, Prabhas, one of the lead actors in ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ is set to star in the Telugu mythological fantasy film ‘Kannappa.’ Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced by Mohan Babu, ‘Kannappa’ will feature a stellar cast including Vishnu Manchu, Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar (making his Telugu film debut), and Kajal Aggarwal. The film is based on the legend of Kannappa, a devoted follower of the Hindu god Shiva, and is expected to draw significant interest from audiences.
‘Kalki 2898 AD’ continues to captivate audiences with its engaging storyline and spectacular visual effects. Its success at the box office is a testament to the film’s appeal and the hard work of everyone involved in its production. As the film industry eagerly watches how ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ performs against upcoming competition, it remains a shining example of the potential of Indian cinema to create blockbuster hits that resonate with audiences both domestically and globally.
