Kalki 2898 AD is not stopping for anything. This is the third week, and there are new releases again, but the film is not hurt by competitors; rather, it's busy smashing them out of the park.
Kalki 2898 AD's third Saturday numbers are higher than the combined total of new releases: Sarfira and Hindustani 2 in Hindi markets.
Sarfira First Saturday - 4 crore nett
Hindustani 2 First Saturday - 1.05 crore nett
Total - 5.05 crore nett
Kalki Third Saturday - 7.50 crore nett
This proves that public support is more important than paid and boosted posts on social media.
Kalki 2898 AD will see another spike in numbers today and will be looking to cross the 250 crore nett mark by the end of the third week. The fourth week will give a better idea about its lifetime numbers, but 275 crore+ nett seems possible now.
Below are the collections of Kalki 2898 AD (Hindi) :
First week (extended) - 156.27 crore
Second week - 65.75 crore
Third Friday - 3.50 crore
Third Saturday - 7.50 crore
Total - 233 crore nett approx.
