A few days ago, ‘Kalki 2898 AD‘ wasn’t generating much buzz, but now it’s a nationwide sensation. The promotional content is everywhere on social media, and advance bookings have been so high that websites crashed. People are willing to pay high prices for tickets.
In the overseas market, pre-sales have already surpassed $2 million, and many expect the film to earn over 200 crores worldwide on its first day. Despite limited promotion in North India, where they only held a press meet and released an English interview, the Hindi version’s advance bookings are off to a great start. Analysts believe the film could earn around 20 crores net on its first day in the North, possibly reaching 25 crores if early reviews are positive.
If these numbers hold, the movie could continue to dominate, as there are no major Hindi releases for a few weeks. With stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Prabhas, the film’s pre-release business in North India has been promising, hinting at heavy profits. We’ll see how successful this movie becomes.
