0

Kalki 2898 AD did an amazing performance at the box office. The film established many records under its name. It has already crossed the 800 crores gross mark worldwide at the box office. It is also looking to breach the 1000 crore mark. Now, Kalki 2898 AD has sold over 1 crore i.e., 10 Million tickets on the ticketing platform, Book My Show.

Undoubtedly, its first weekend performance was the strongest and big. The film managed to sell about half of tickets from the first weekend itself. Now the second weekend’s performance is also good. The film needs another strong weekend to post big numbers and go close to 1000 crores. Kalki 2898 AD is also facing a big challenge in the form of Indian 2 that is releasing this weekend. Kalki 2898 AD’s full run performance depends on the performance of Indian 2 in its first weekend.

Indian 2 is a sequel to yesteryear blockbuster Indian. The film is directed by Maverick Director Shankar and stars Kamal Haasan coming back as Senapathy. It is all set for release on July 12th worldwide. The pre-release event was also done and the team is busy in promoting the film in all the important languages.

Kalki 2898 AD’s 1000 crore goal: Indian 2 the decider

0

Kalki 2898 AD is breaking many records everywhere. The film had a very good second weekend. After the second weekend’s performance, Kalki 2898 AD 11 days worldwide collections are in the range of 800 crores. Another 200 crores is what needed for the film to become a 1000 crore grosser. However another film’s performance decides this mark for Kalki 2898 AD. Yes and that will be Indian 2, the decider for Kalki 2898 AD to reach the 1000 crore goal.

For this 1000 crore club, Indian 2 will be the deciding factor as the film is releasing this week worldwide. Indian 2 also is riding high on the expectations which may impact Kalki 2898 AD. If Indian 2 opens with good talk and word of mouth then Kalki 2898 AD must find it difficult to touch the 1000 crore club. If Indian 2 secures an average talk or a below par word of mouth then Kalki 2898 AD can easily touch the coveted 1000 crore mark.

Ironically Kamal Haasan also plays a pivotal role in Kalki 2898 AD as well. On the other hand, Indian 2 pre release event is completed and the film will release on July 12th this weekend.

Kalki 2898 AD 11 days Collections: A Detailed Analysis

Kalki 2898 had an excellent second weekend at the box office in all languages. The film witnessed a massive jump on Saturday and Sunday, posting very big numbers.

In Telangana, Kalki is having an epic run and has collected in the range of 120 Cr gross till now, which is more than Andhra Pradesh’s gross of 115 Cr. The total Telugu states’ gross is 235 Cr, which is the same as North India. In North India also, the film has collected 235 Cr gross. In Karnataka, the film has collected 56 Cr gross, in Tamil Nadu 36 Cr, and in Kerala 25 Cr gross. Overall, in India, Kalki 2898 AD 11 days collections are 587 Cr gross.

Kalki 2898 AD – A blockbuster for Prabhas after Baahubali:

After Baahubali, Prabhas emerges as the biggest star of Indian cinema, and he delivers massive numbers for Saaho and Adipurush even with negative WOM. Salaar is expected to be a comeback film for Prabhas, but it underperformed, just managing to collect in the range of 620 cr and settling with an average status. Finally, Prabhas delivers a clean blockbuster with Kalki 2898 AD. The breakeven is valued at 800 cr, and it collected breakeven numbers in just 11 days

1000 Cr Milestone:

Kalki now eyes the 1000 Cr milestone, with 808 Cr for 11 days. The film needs another 200 Cr gross to achieve this club. At this pace, it looks easily achievable. The only concern is that Indian 2 is releasing this weekend. If it opens with positive WOM, it will impact Kalki. If Indian 2 opens with average or below-par WOM, then Kalki will go even bigger than the 1000 Cr milestone.

Why Karna Over Arjuna?

In Mahabharata, there are many inspiring characters. But the cinema industry is more obsessed with Karna, which began with Senior NTR’s film Dana Veera Soora Karna. In this film, it portrays Karna as the best character in Mahabharata by adding lots of fictional elements, but it did not showcase the real Mahabharata. The film influences the people in a big way. In the real Mahabharata, Karna was defeated many times by Arjuna and others, which cinema industry overlooks. Despite this, cinema industry consistently portrays Karna as the greatest warrior in Mahabharata, which is not true.

Now, Nag Ashwin also echoes this sentiment by directly stating that Karna is greater than Arjuna. Furthermore, a triangular film featuring Suriya, on a massive budget, is in production, which will likely continue this trend by portraying Karna as the greatest with added fictional elements.

why the cinema industry is so obsessed with Karna when there is Arjuna, who stands for Dharma, never loses a battle, and defeats all his opponents. Despite this, the cinema industry has not made any film on Arjuna.

Mirzapur Season 1 became a big hit on the OTT. The series which premiered on Amazon Prime Video attained cult status in the Internet as well. Many memes and trolls of Mirzapur are often used everywhere on social media platforms. Season 2 was released afterwards with high expectations and did okayish. It didn’t impress the audience to the level of Season 1 but somehow engaged them throughout. But recently released Mirzapur Season 3 is not upto the mark and became a biggest disappointment for the fans.

The season 3 of Mirzapur has started streaming from July 5th on Amazon Prime Video. It received very mixed response from the audiences. They felt that it was the weakest one in the three seasons. Reviews also came about the dragged length of the season. The most missing part was the central character Munna Bhaiya. He was one of the major highlights of the series. But his character dies in the end of Season 2 and leaves an interesting fight. This is the major reason for Season 3’s disappointment as well.

The season also consists of 10 episodes for the continuation of another season. The season 4 is expected to be the final one in Mirzapur series.
