On Friday, Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh posted a note on X (formerly Twitter) to share the week 1 box office numbers of the Hindi version of Kalki 2898 AD. He wrote, “#Kalki2898AD scores an EXCELLENT TOTAL in its *extended* Week 1… Strong word of mouth came into play on *Day 1* [Thu] itself, which justified the solid growth on Sat and sensational jump on Sun, despite #T20WorldCupFinal [#INDvSA] on Sat. The performance on weekdays [Mon – Thu] was rock-solid, with #Kalki2898AD hitting double digits every single day… Although mass pockets slowed down from Tue onwards, the energetic footfalls at major centres compensated for the shortfall.”
Taran Adarsh added, “As it steps into Week 2, #Kalki2898AD is expected to amass big numbers on [second] Sat-Sun, breaching ₹ 200 cr mark in Weekend 2 and emerging the HIGHEST GROSSING *HINDI* FILM OF 2024, surpassing the *lifetime biz* of #Fighter. [Week 1] Thu 22.50 cr, Fri 23.25 cr, Sat 26.25 cr, Sun 40.15 cr, Mon 16.50 cr, Tue 13 cr, Wed 11.50 cr, Thu 10.10 cr. Total: ₹ 163.25 cr Nett BOC. #India biz. #Boxoffice. NOTE: Data of HINDI version only.”
