Hyderabad:In the latest developments, Kalki 2898 AD has enjoyed a successful two-week run in cinemas without facing any major competition that could affect its box office earnings. However, its uninterrupted streak is expected to conclude today, with the release of Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 and Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira posing significant competition. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, on its fifteenth day, Kalki 2898 AD garnered Rs 6.7 crore at the domestic box office, bringing its total nett domestic collection to Rs 543.45 crore.
