Is Prabhas's 'Kalki 2898' a disaster in Japan..!?
China and
japan markets are very important for
indian films. Especially for star heroes like Aamir Khan, Rajinikanth,
prabhas, and NTR, there is a special demand there. Did Aamir Khan's `Dangal` collect 2000 crores? Of which 1500 crores were looted from the Chinese market. There is nothing to say about Rajinikanth's records. Rajinikanth has a following in all the countries of the Asian continent.
prabhas is currently in craze. How much do Japanese audiences
love Darling? It is reflected there. It is known that
prabhas entered the
international market with the
movie `Baahubali`. Since then, the movies starring
darling have been released in
china and Japan.
Recently, `Kalki 2898` was also released. This
movie was released in
japan on a large scale on
january 3. However, the results did not look promising. Although
prabhas could not attend the premiere of this film,
director Nag Ashwin attended to promote the film. However `Kalki 2898` did not connect with the Japanese audience. There is a special reason for releasing
kalki in Japan. The makers strongly believed that it would impress the Japanese
audience as it is a fantasy fiction film. But the results did not come as expected. `Kalki 2898` earned 8.5 million yen (about ₹45 lakhs) on the day of its release. After that, the collections immediately went down. In the first week, the film's collections stood between 1 to 2 crore yen. According to trade circles, the theatrical run is expected to end much sooner than expected. However, some reasons are coming to the fore for this. The characters of Ashwatthama, Karna, and
krishna in `Kalki` are very richly and deeply told in
indian mythology. This has become a story that does not make sense to the Japanese audience. The Japanese
audience has faced a situation where it does not make sense to which character is which.
