Kalki 2898 AD is fast nearing Rs 200 crore in the Hindi-speaking belt. The film has grossed more than Rs 173 crore so far and is expected to breach the Rs 200 crore mark by the end of Sunday. The epic sci-fi fantasy remains the most preferred movie at the box office in North India.
The latest Bollywood actioner, Kill, isn't posing much of a challenge to the movie, which also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone in key roles. "... #Kalki2898AD continues its dominance... Biz multiplies from evening shows onwards on [second] Fri… Absence of major film/s has given it the wings to fly high for [a] second consecutive week… Expect an upsurge in biz on [second] Sat - Sun," tweeted popular trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
