RRR Vs Kalki 2898 AD - Box Office Comparison
The key distinction, in this case, is the phenomenal start that rrr received in the telugu states. It is well known that kalki is capable of outperforming rrr in both North America and North India. The one notable exception has been the upward trend that rrr exhibited in the telugu states, where it went completely insane.
Already the biggest-grossing indian movie of 2024, kalki is expected to cross the Rs 800 crore threshold; whether it can surpass that amount will depend on how well it does throughout its second weekend. After the Covid wave, rrr opened up the pan-Indian box office back then. Now, following an incredibly dry run at the indian box office over the past six months, kalki has taken the lead.
