(Box office numbers according to Sacnilk and makers of Kalki 2898 AD)

Despite facing competition from recent releases such as Bad Newz, Indian 2, and Sarfira, Nag Ashwin’s dystopian sci-fi creation continues to dominate the Indian box office. On its 28th day in theatres, early estimates suggest Kalki 2898 AD garnered Rs 1.6 crore, pushing its total domestic earnings across languages to over Rs 622.2 crore.

The film maintained its momentum with earnings of approximately Rs 2 crore on Tuesday, slightly surpassing Monday's Rs 1.6 crore. Although nearing the Rs 640 crore mark set by Jawan, Kalki 2898 AD fell short of Jawan's Tuesday earnings of Rs 2.05 crore. With the much-anticipated release of Deadpool & Wolverine this week, the film enters its final stretch in cinemas, and its ability to sustain viewership amidst new competition will determine its final box office figures.

Reportedly the most expensive film made in India with a budget of Rs 600 crore, Kalki 2898 AD also stars Disha Patani, Saswata Chatterjee, and Shobhana. Originally titled Project K, the film debuted worldwide in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, and English languages.
