Kalki 2898 AD: Box Office Domination and Director’s Insights

The science fiction epic, Kalki 2898 AD, starring Prabhas, continues its triumphant run at the box office. With no major releases competing this weekend, the film is poised for a significant collection.

Kalki 2898 AD has already amassed a staggering ₹774 crore worldwide gross. Notably, on its eighth day, the film earned a substantial ₹49 crore, demonstrating its enduring appeal. This momentum has propelled the film towards the coveted ₹1,000 crore mark, much to the delight of Prabhas’ fans.

In a recent media interaction, director Nag Ashwin shed light on various aspects of the film. He revealed the deliberate decision to infuse humor into the Kashi scenes, aiming to avoid an excessively dark tone and showcase Prabhas’ comedic abilities.

Intriguingly, Ashwin disclosed that only 40% of the overall story is presented in Kalki 2898 AD, with the remaining portion reserved for the sequel. Having established the characters and the dystopian world in the first part, the sequel promises a more content-driven experience, brimming with emotions and action sequences.

Ashwin acknowledged taking cinematic liberties with the narrative. He emphasized that Kalki 2898 AD is a fictional story set against the backdrop of the Mahabharata, not a direct adaptation. He firmly denied any plans to depict the epic Mahabharata or cast Mahesh Babu as Lord Krishna in the sequel.

Ashwin’s revelations regarding the film’s future chapters have generated considerable excitement. With upcoming releases like “Sarfira” and “Indian 2” on the horizon, it will be intriguing to see if Kalki 2898 AD surpasses the ₹1,000 crore mark and challenges the records set by “RRR.”

Small Film Breaks 100 Crore Despite Kalki Clash!

Another current movie Kalki 2898AD starring Prabhas is creating a new record in the box office all over India. For the regional audiences, more specifically for the Telugu speaking states, this movie is a runaway hit and in the Hindi belts too, it’s an even bigger hit. Prior to the release of ‘Kalki’, there was another bollywood film ‘Munjya’ in which a character created through CGI was the protagonist and the film was positively at the box-office.

The trailer for “Munjya” created a good buzz and it was highly appreciated by the people, therefore, it collected a great amount at the box office. Although “Kalki 2898AD” which was earlier released and was doing more than 90 crore net collections some questioned whether “Munjya” could further its position and could easily reach 100 crore.

However, Munjya has been playing in theatres for 25 days and has entered the 100 crore club. This is important because it is the first Bollywood movie with a CGI character in the lead role earning this status.

However, the film “Munjya” has still been successful in drawing the audience and enjoying a good business at the box office against the “Kalki 2898AD”. This achievement is the best proof of the film’s niche interest and the presence of a loyal audience.

Therefore “Munjya” has set a new trend in Hindi cinema as this is the first CGI film which grossed more than 100 crore and this happened when it was in competition with a heavy film like “Kalki 2898AD. “
