Kalki 2898 AD,which is said to be the highest budget Bollywood film, has managed to break global box office records in its opening weekend. Directed by Nag Ashwin and co-written by Sai Madhav Burra, this Telugu-language sci-fi film follows the adventures of a select group of people in a post-apocalyptic world.
They have an important mission to save a laboratory subject who is believed to be a modern avatar of Lord Vishnu, who has come down to earth to protect against evil forces. The film features a line-up of big stars, including Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani, Saswata Chatterjee, Brahmanandam, Rajendra Prasad, Shobhana, Pasupathy, and Anna Ben.
Citing a report from Collider on Thursday July 4, 2024, Kalki 2898 AD, which was produced with a budget of around US$72 million, managed to record the best opening weekend in Bollywood film history at the global box office. The film grossed 555 crore in its first four days, which is around $66 million or Rp1.07 trillion.
However, these figures still need to be examined further because they were conveyed directly by Vyjayanthi Movies, the film's production company itself. Kalki 2898 AD's $66 million debut surpassed RRR's $60 million opening and Jawan's $62 million opening, making it the highest opening weekend in Indian cinema history.
On the other hand, Kalki 2898 AD also managed to earn around $6 million in its three-day domestic debut, and more than $11 million in its five-day opening after its release on Wednesday in North America. The opening of Kalki 2898 AD re-established Prabhas as one of the biggest stars in Bollywood. Prabhas now has three of the five biggest opening weekends in Bollywood history, with two more films in the top 10.
His international success began with SS Rajamouli's Baahubali series which grossed nearly $300 million globally. The success of Kalki's debut 2898 AD truly proved that Prabhas has a huge appeal among the audience. Curious about Prabhas' appearance in action in a post-apocalyptic world ?
