It’s
been
a
good
weekend
at
the
box
office.
The
Telugu
and
Hindi
versions
of
Kalki
2898
AD
have
done
well.
The
Hindi
collections
have
already
gone
up
to
Rs
110
crore*
(Rs
1.1
billion),
which
is
better
than
the
three-day
weekend
score
of
Prabhas’
previous
release,
Adipurush
(Rs
103
crore/
Rs
1.03
billion).
This
is
welcome
relief
for
distributors
and
exhibitors
who
had
been
waiting
for
a
big
film
to
arrive
in
theatres
and
push
up
ticket
sales.
Though
2024
has
seen
quite
a
few
films
do
well
on
the
basis
of
word-of-mouth,
the
only
century
makers
have
been
Fighter
and
Shaitaan.
The
star
cast
of
Kalki
has
been
making
personal
records
as
well.
For
Prabhas,
this
is
his
sixth
century
in
Hindi,
the
others
being
Baahubali:
The
Conclusion,
Adipurush,
Saaho,
Salaar
and
Baahubali:
The
Beginning.
His
only
Hindi
release
which
couldn’t
achieve
this
feat
is
Radhe
Shyam.
Deepika
Padukone
has
accumulated
her
11th
film
in
the
Rs
100
crore
club
after
Pathaan,
Happy
New
Year,
Padmaavat,
Chennai
Express,
Fighter,
Yeh
Jawaani
Hai
Deewani,
Bajirao
Mastani,
Ram
Leela,
Race
2
and
’83.
Amitabh
Bachchan,
of
course,
is
in
a
league
of
his
own.
But
post
the
creation
of
the
100
crore
club,
he
now
has
three
in
the
list,
including
Brahmastra
and
Thugs
of
Hindostan.
Director
Nag
Ashwin
also
has
a
lot
to
cheer
about
as
he
has
opened
his
100
crore
club
account
in
Hindi
with
this
film.
Expect
more
records
to
tumble
in
weeks
to
come.
*Estimates.
Final
numbers
awaited.
Note:
All
collections
as
per
production
and
distribution
sources.
