MUMBAI: Telugu epic sci-fi film Kalki 2898 AD has buoyed the Indian film box office by garnering over Rs 350 crore in domestic and over Rs 500 crore in global collections. According to film trade website Sacnilk, the film grossed Rs 369 crore domestically and Rs 146 crore from overseas markets in the first four days since its release on June 27.
The film, which draws inspiration from Hindu mythology and features Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, Dulquer Salman, Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani, is the first major blockbuster hit of 2024 in an otherwise underwhelming first half due to a lack of big releases.
As per Ormax Media, the cumulative box office collection stood at Rs 3,791 crore between January and May, with Fighter and Hanu-Man being the only films to gross over Rs 200 crore at the box office.
