After a phenomenal opening, Kalki 2898 AD faced a significant decline in its box office collections on Day 2. The much-anticipated film, starring Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, had an impressive start, raking in ₹95 crore on its first day. However, the second day saw a steep drop of over 50%, with collections amounting to ₹39.77 crore.
The film, directed by Nag Ashwin, combines mythological and sci-fi elements, creating a unique cinematic experience. Despite the drop in collections, the movie continues to attract audiences, thanks to its star-studded cast, which also includes Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan, and its grand visual effects.
