The film has all chances of becoming a blockbuster if it hits the right chords. The songs composed by Anirudh Ravichander too have impressed the fans.

Kalki 2898 AD is performing extraordinarily at the box office. The film has already grossed 600 crores worldwide in the first week. It is also doing great at the overseas market. The performance of Kalki 2898 AD marks the underperformance of Prabhas’ previous outing, Salaar directed by Prashant Neel. Salaar had an initial buzz exceeding limits thanks to the popularity of Neel for his KGF Series. Salaar also enjoyed a holiday season advantage.

Salaar had grossed in the range of 620 crores worldwide in full run. But the trade analysts felt this was not uptp the mark. Now, Kalki 2898 AD looks to have performed stronger than Salaar. Kalki 2898 AD as said has already touched the 625 crore mark in the first week itself. Its Telugu version too has crossed 200 crore share mark and now stands at 220 crores. Kalki 2898 AD outperformed Salaar in both Telugu and other versions. Kalki 2898 AD first week collections are also higher than Salaar lifetime run.

Kalki 2898 AD is also expected to join the 1000 crore club in its full run. Salaar’s final run will not be even 2/3rd of what Kalki 2898 AD made then. We have to see how Salaar 2 would perform.

Producer Deficits for Indian 2

0

Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 has been on sets for many years and due to some last-minute changes, it was divided into two parts -Indian 2 and Indian 3. The film is being made on a huge budget. But somehow the promotional content failed to create a buzz which resulted in poor business for the film.

The business offers for the films are quite discouraging, to say the least hence Lyca Productions and Red Giant Movies is releasing on its own through multiple distributors by taking advances. The advances are also very minimal compared to the budget.

Theatrically, Indian 2 should collect at least 500 Cr gross and need to post good numbers in all languages so that Indian 3 can get a good buzz and bring some good news to the producers. If Indian 2 fails to work then it will be a massive failure for the producers as a massive amount is riding on Indian 2 and Indian 3.

Directed by Shankar, Indian 2 will be released in Telugu as Bharateeyudu 2 and in Hindi as Hindustani 2. The film also stars Siddharth, Kajal Agarwal, Priya Bhavani Shankar, and Rakul Preet Singh. and Nedumudi Venu in key roles. Lyca Productions and Red Giant Movies are jointly producing this pan-India biggie with Anirudh composing the music.
