Record-breaking ticket sales for Kalki 2898 AD have created a great deal of anticipation for its June 27 grand launch at the box office.
The recent week has seen an increase in the amount of talk surrounding director Nag Ashwin’s masterwork Kalki 2898 AD. Advance reservations for the first day are filling up quickly as the release date of June 27 draws closer. Oddly enough, Kalki is the first Indian movie to be shown on all 210 IMAX screens. In Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi, it is being released in Kalki 2898 AD 2D and 3D formats.
A blockbuster getting loaded?
Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD may become the third Indian movie (after Baahubali 2 and RRR) to “take the opening of 200 crores at the worldwide box office on June 27,” according to trade website Sacnilk. “Kalki 2898 AD is expected to take the opening of ₹120-140 crore gross in India,” Sacnilk tweeted. The film is anticipated to debut in the Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, grossing between ₹90 and ₹100 crore. It is anticipated to debut for about ₹20 crore in North India, while Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka are probably going to start the movie at ₹15+ crore. This is a significant accomplishment for the multi-starrer pan-Indian film.
Shaking ticket windows
According to a recent Nuvama analytical analysis, Kalki 2898 AD might earn at least ₹100 crore in gross revenue on its first day of release in India. This is corroborated by rumors of tickets being sold. More than 36,000 tickets were sold in the first 60 minutes, and all of the tickets for the Telangana events were sold out, according to the booking website Bookmyshow. On the first day of the movie’s release, almost two lakh tickets were sold throughout India; however, as many multiplexes have not yet opened for reservations, this number might easily quadruple.
The North American distributor of Kalki, Prathyangira Cinemas, said on social media that more than 2.7 million dollars had been made from the sale of 125,000 tickets. “#Kalki2898AD North America Premieres Pre-sales strikes US $2.7 Million+ and counting,” they posted on Tuesday. With two days remaining, #SalaarCeaseFire premiere figures have already been surpassed. In the next two days, some astounding statistics will be revealed.

Regarding Kalki in 2898 AD
Prabhas plays the main character in this Vyjayanthi Movies production, which also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani. On June 27, 2024, Kalki 2898 AD will be available in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil, and several other languages in IMAX format.
One of the major movies of 2024 is Kalki 2898 AD. Because it is a science fiction film from the Telugu cinema industry, many are expecting it to be just as good, if not better, than the works of master filmmaker SS Rajamouli. Prabhas would return to the game if the film directed by Nag Ashwin makes about ₹200 crore on its first day of release.
