KALKI 2898 AD (Hindi) collected an excellent 65.75 crore nett in week two taking its two week total to 222 crore nett. The second week is easily the best of the year beating the 38 50 crore nett of FIGHTER. The film did see dropping collections over the weekdays but that was likely as its mainly a big centre film now.

The film has seen a drop of showcasing on Friday which will hit the collections but even still occupancy is pretty good. Is going to give the new releases a run for their money and maybe even lead the box office on its third Friday though due to showcasing, there will be a considerable drop in collections.

The film should get to 250 crore nett in time though it could take a couple of weeks as the weekly drops are going to there. The film has generally done well everywhere and it will be an interesting comparison with RRR (Hindi) as KALKI 2898 Ad has far better collections from the South in Hindi.

The collections of the film till date are as follows.

Friday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 16,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday -20,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 6,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 5,00,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 4,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

KALKI 2898 AD (Hindi) dropped 40% on its second Monday but collections were still a healthy 6 crore nett taking its second week total to over 52 crore nett. The second week should comfortably cross the 65 crore nett mark making it by far the biggest second week of 2024.

The film should be easily above 220 crore nett by the end of the week but then the trend could change as there are two releases, SARFIRA and HINDUSTANI 2, which will hugely affect the showcasing therefore hitting collections. It is just not this week the showcasing will be hit its pretty much a weekly thing as there is a major release every week.

KALKI 2898 AD is the biggest HIT of 2024 at present and there is PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE expected to come later on this year which is pretty much locked as being the biggest film of the year. Now if the 3/4 original Hindi films with potential don't live up to the expectations, it could be that the top two HITS in Hindi are from South. This nearly happened in 2022 but THE KASHMIR FILES came in between KGF - CHAPTER 2 and RRR.  

The collections of the film till date are as follows.

Friday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 16,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday -20,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 6,00,00,000 apprx

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

Sunday - 38,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 16,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 12,75,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 11,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 9,75,00,000 apprx

Friday - 9,50,00,000 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.
