KALKI 2898 AD (Hindi) had a very strong hold on its eighth day as it collected  9.25-9.50 crore nett which is a drop of less than 10% from the previous day. The film has seen steady collections over the last two days as mass centres stabilise at a level. The growth will now come on Saturday and Sunday for a very good second weekend.

The film has generally done well across the board as where there is less appreciation those centres opened well which has been the key to the success of this film. This week not having much competition has also helped as a major release would have meant the drops which came over the weekdays continuing.

The film is also doing well in South and in the home market, the film should do a 200 crore number which would be the third time this has happened after BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION and RRR. The rest of South is also seeing good numbers which should mean the film comfortably tops the 500 crore nett mark all India and maybe even 550 crore nett.

The collections of the film till date are as follows.

Thursday - 21,25,00,000 apprx

Friday  - 22,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 25,50,00,000 apprx

-------------------------

KALKI 2898 AD (Hindi) consolidated its second Friday hold with huge growth on Saturday as it collected around 16.75 crore nett. The jump was around 80% which is very good for a film which has such a wide release.

The mass pockets have now settled at a level after weekday drops and Sunday should get a further push though weekdays may be tougher. The film is cruising to the 200 crore nett mark and will become the highest Hindi grosser this year today as it crosses the FIGHTER numbers. The film had crossed FIGHTER in many circuits within the first seven days itself.

The difference between this film and RRR will generally be the business in UP and Gujarat but the Hindi version has scored far higher numbers in Mysore as compared to the Hindi version of KALKI 2898 AD. The film probably has the best ratio ever in the South for a Hindi version of a South film with a 10% ratio coming from Nizam/Andhra, Mysore and TNK which is pretty close to what many Hindi original films would do.
