Deepika Padukone and Prabhas’s highly anticipated sci-fi epic, Kalki 2898 AD, experienced a notable dip in box office collections on its second day of release. The film, directed by Nag Ashwin, had set a record with its massive opening, becoming the third biggest opener of all time in India. However, on its second day, Friday, the film saw a sharp decline of nearly 43% in its domestic collections. According to Sacnilk data, Kalki 2898 AD collected ₹ 54 crore (nett) in India on Friday, significantly lower than the ₹ 95.3 crore it amassed on its opening day, Thursday. This drop in collections, while significant, is not entirely unexpected, as many big-budget films often experience a decline in earnings on their second day. Despite the dip, Kalki 2898 AD remains one of the highest-grossing Indian films of the year and continues to attract audiences with its visually stunning effects and engaging narrative. It remains to be seen whether the film can maintain its momentum and sustain its position at the box office in the coming days.
