Kalki 2898 AD Box Office Day 1: Prabhas' Film To Break Advance Booking Record, Surpassing KGF 2's 80 Cr?

Kalki 2898 AD is one of the most eagerly awaited Indian films, starring Prabhas in the lead role.

The film is expected to be a major milestone in Indian cinema's box-office performance. Following the success of Salaar, Prabhas has raised high expectations. Even before the film achieves historic day 1 numbers in India, it aims to set a record in advance bookings, although this won't be an easy feat.

Directed by Nag Ashwin, this epic action sci-fi film also features Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani, and Kamal Haasan in key roles. After numerous delays, the film is set to hit theatres on June 27th. Currently, it is generating a lot of buzz, and being the most expensive Indian film, audiences are excited to see what the team has created.

Kalki 2898 AD Box Office Collection Day 1 Expectations

Kalki 2898 AD is poised to benefit from Prabhas' immense stardom and is expected to do massive business through advance bookings alone. In terms of the highest opening day pre-sales, Yash's KGF Chapter 2 leads with an 80 crore gross, according to a report by Koimoi.

KGF Chapter 2 had the advantage of being a sequel to a popular film, which helped generate a strong pre-release buzz, making it an event film and driving impressive pre-sales. However, Kalki 2898 AD lacks a sequel factor and relies entirely on Prabhas' box office appeal, along with the star power of Amitabh, Deepika, and Kamal. It will be intriguing to see if it surpasses KGF Chapter 2.

RRR holds the second spot for day 1 advance bookings with 59 crore gross, while Salaar is third with 49 crore gross, according to the report.
