Kalki 2898 AD Box Office Collection Day 27: Prabhas Starrer Just Shy of Rs 20 Cr to Beat Lifetime Business of SRK's Jawan

On its 27th day, Kalki 2898 AD sees a 7.27% growth at the box office from the previous day. With a total domestic collection exceeding Rs 620 crore, the film faces competition from recent releases but continues to maintain steady performance. The Prabhas starrer aims to zoom past lifetime business of Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan at the Indian box office. Read on for Kalki 2898 AD box office collection day 27.

Hyderabad: Nag Ashwin's epic sci-fi movie Kalki 2898 AD, featuring Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, continues to impress despite stiff competition from recent releases like Shankar's Indian 2, Sudha Kongara's Sarfira, and Anand Tiwari's Bad Newz. On Tuesday, the film added another Rs 1.77 crore to its domestic earnings, marking a 7.27% increase from Monday. With this, Kalki 2898 AD has now crossed the Rs 620 crore mark in India, inching closer to surpassing the lifetime collection of Atlee’s Jawan which stands at Rs 640 crore.

However, the film's earnings on its 27th day were slightly lower compared to Jawan, which had garnered Rs 2.05 crore on the corresponding day. With highly anticipated releases like Deadpool and Wolverine hitting screens this week, the momentum of "Kalki 2898 AD" remains a point of interest.

Globally, although Kalki 2898 AD surpassed the Rs 1,000 crore mark 11 days ago, it has yet to reach Rs 1,100 crore. This delay is concerning for its makers' ambitions to climb higher in the list of highest-grossing Indian films. Since July 13, when it entered the prestigious Rs 1,000 crore club, the film has added Rs 56.65 crore to its India nett, exceeding Siddharth Anand’s Pathaan to become the sixth highest-grossing film. However, its chances of surpassing Jawan globally, which holds the fifth position with Rs 1,160 crore, seem slim based on current trends.
