Box Office: 'Kalki 2898 AD' Tops 250 Crore Net In Hindi After Very Good Third Weekend

Mumbai, July 15 - Director Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD is a one-horse race at the Hindi box office and is marching towards 300 crores net club after a very good third weekend despite the arrival of new releases in the form of Akshay Kumar's Sarfira and Kamal Haasan's Hindustani 2.

The Prabhas-fronted sci-fi epic remained the first choice of Hindi moviegoers after it scored approximately 21.70 crores net collection, more than the combined opening weekend total of Sarfira and Hindustani 2's 15.80 crores net in the third weekend.



The total Hindi collection of Kalki 2898 AD has crossed 250 crores net at approximately 255 crores after 18 days. The movie will beat SS Rajamouli's RRR (272.80 crores net approx.) in its 4th weekend to become the third highest-grossing South Indian movie in Hindi after Baahubali 2 (511 crores) and KGF: Chapter (435 crores).

With new releases not performing to the level of expectations, Kalki 2898 AD is expected to continue to perform well for a couple of weeks and is on track to enter 300 crores net club. There is, however, Dharma Productions' Bad Newz on July 19 which might put some dent in Kalki's progress but it is likely to sail through due to the acceptance in all age groups.

The next big challenge to Kalki 2898 AD will be on July 26 when Marvel Studios' highly-anticipated Deadpool and Wolverine will hit Indian cinemas.
