Additionally, prominent Tollywood and Bollywood actors such as Prabhas, Rana, Junior NTR, and Ram Charan are expected to share their opinions.

Kalki 2898 AD Day 1 Collections: Increased Ticket Prices still missed to beat RRR.
The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' directed by Nag Ashwin and starring pan-India star Prabhas, was released worldwide on Thursday, June 27th, and is receiving rave reviews everywhere. With the positive talk coming from all sides, audiences are showing great enthusiasm for this movie. As 'Kalki' becomes a super hit, everyone's attention is now focused on its first-day collections. The film, a visual wonder in the mythology-futuristic genre, was estimated by trade circles to collect over ā¹200 crores on its first day. Did 'Kalki' reach that mark? How did Prabhas' mania impact the box office? What all-time record did 'Kalki' create in the US? Let's find out in this review.
Day 1 Collections
All eyes are currently on the Day 1 collections of 'Kalki 2898 AD.' The production house, Vyjayanthi Movies, has officially announced the first day's earnings. The makers declared that 'Kalki' amassed ā¹191.5 crores (GROSS) worldwide on its first day. They also released a special poster with the caption "Let's Celebrate Cinema." Initially, trade circles had predicted that 'Kalki' would collect over ā¹200 crores on its first day, with analyses suggesting that all previous Day 1 records would be broken. However, 'Kalki' narrowly missed the ā¹200 crore mark. Despite this, industry experts predict that 'Kalki' will surely join the ā¹500 crore club by the end of this weekend.
All-Time Record
Prabhas' 'Kalki' is creating a sensation in North America. The local audience is impressed by the performances of Prabhas and other top stars. Consequently, 'Kalki' set an all-time record in North America. It garnered a whopping $3.8 million from North American premieres, the highest collection for an Indian film in that region. 'Kalki' has thus achieved the distinction of being the first Indian film to earn this much. Following 'Kalki' are 'RRR' ($3.46 million), 'Salaar' ($2.6 million), and 'Baahubali 2' ($2.45 million).
Overseas Collections
Combining premieres and first-day collections, trade circles report that 'Kalki' collected $5 million on its first day in America. Among Telugu films, 'Kalki' secured the 5th position for the highest collections in just one day. It also set a record as the fastest film to collect $5 million. If these collections continue, 'Kalki' is expected to set a benchmark overseas. Experts predict that the collections will increase further over the weekend.
'RRR' Record Safe!
According to trade figures, 'Kalki 2898 AD' could not surpass the 'RRR' record. 'RRR' collected ā¹223 crores (GROSS) on its first day, making it the top Indian film in terms of Day 1 collections. As per trade estimates, 'Kalki 2898 AD' halted at ā¹180 crores, leaving the 'RRR' record intact. 'Baahubali 2' stands in second place with ā¹217 crores. While 'Kalki' couldn't break these records, it surpassed the records of 'KGF 2' (ā¹164.5 crores), 'Salaar' (ā¹158 crores), 'Adipurush' (ā¹136.8 crores), and 'Saaho' (ā¹125.6 crores) to secure a place in the top three.
Match Effect on Collections
The 'Kalki 2898 AD' team lagged in promoting the film on a grand scale like 'Baahubali 2' and 'RRR.' If they had done extensive promotions, the movie might have created new records. The T20 World Cup also affected the film's collections. The audience's interest in watching the India-England semi-final match on Thursday evening turned into a slight disadvantage. Additionally, Thursday being a working day impacted 'Kalki's' collections. However, with positive talk everywhere, the collections of 'Kalki' are expected to increase significantly over the weekend.

1. RRR (2022)

'NTR 31': Jr NTR's Explosive Dual Role Ignites Anticipation in Tollywood
Following the success of 'RRR', Jr NTRās fame has reached global proportions, even earning him a substantial fan following in Bollywood. Currently, Tarak is featured in the movie 'Devara', directed by Koratala Siva, which is swiftly moving through its shooting phase. After this film, Tarak has confirmed his participation in the 'NTR 31' project. Directed by Prashanth Neel, known for blockbuster hits like 'KGF' and 'Salaar', this upcoming movie has already stirred high expectations. Recently, an exciting update about NTRās role in this movie emerged, causing quite a stir in the industry.
Tarak in a Dual Role?
The upcoming 'NTR 31' project, a collaboration between Tarak and Prashanth Neel, is creating a buzz in Tollywood. According to the latest buzz, Tarak will be playing dual roles in this film. One of these roles is reportedly as a 75-year-old man, a character unlike any he has played in his career. The other role is rumored to be that of a mafia don, sparking much excitement. The film, to be produced by Mythri Movie Makers, is likely to start shooting in September, with an official announcement expected soon. Currently, Prashanth Neel is busy with pre-production work.
As a Fierce Demon...
Reports have previously suggested that Tarak will portray characters with negative shades in 'NTR 31'. The latest buzz indicates that one of these characters will be a mafia don, where he will appear as a fierce demon. The character has been uniquely designed by director Prashanth Neel, who is taking great care in its portrayal. It is known that after completing this movie, Neel plans to start 'Salaar 2'.
The Dragon Title Fixed!
The title 'Dragon' is under consideration for NTR 31, and there is a high chance that it might be finalized. In European languages, "Dragon" symbolizes evil and also represents chaos and the ability to breathe fire. Given its powerful connotation, Prashanth Neel is considering this title, especially as Tarak is set to appear in a powerful negative role, making 'Dragon' a fitting match. An official announcement regarding the title decision is expected very soon.
With a Budget of Rs. 300 Crores...
The forthcoming NTR 31 film, featuring the combo of Tarak and Prashanth Neel, is set to be made with a massive budget. The production cost is expected to exceed Rs. 300 crores, with Tarak likely to receive a significant remuneration. Rashmika Mandanna is rumored to be starring opposite Tarak, and other cast members are to be finalized shortly.
When is 'Devara' Releasing?
The highly anticipated pan-India project 'Devara' is set to release grandly on September 27. This film marks another collaboration between Tarak and Koratala Siva following 'Janatha Garage', raising substantial expectations among the audience. Jhanvi Kapoor stars opposite NTR, marking her entry into Telugu cinema. Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan will appear as the villain. Initially scheduled for an October 10 release, the rapid progress of work has moved the release date forward to September 27, as confirmed by the film unit.

Game Changer: Is the Release Date for 'Game Changer' Set? Ram Charan Follows in Prabhas' Footsteps!
Following the blockbuster success of 'RRR', Mega Power Star Ram Charan is set to appear in 'Game Changer', directed by renowned Tamil cinema director Shankar. This film has generated high expectations among audiences, including Mega fans and regular moviegoers alike. Recently, the film's producer, Dil Raju, sparked further excitement by making intriguing remarks and hinting at the release date for 'Game Changer', leading to a flurry of eager posts from fans about the confirmed release date.
Is It Releasing on That Day?
Produced by the prominent producer Dil Raju, 'Game Changer' is being crafted as a political action thriller. At the recent pre-release event of 'Raayan', Dil Raju responded about the release of 'Game Changer', hinting at a Christmas release. This suggests that 'Game Changer' might hit the screens on December 25 as a Christmas gift. It marks the 50th film produced under the Sri Venkateswara Creations banner, making it a prestigious project for Dil Raju. The editing work for this movie is currently underway.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1815052022200013098
Ram Charan in Prabhas' Path!
It appears that Mega Hero Ram Charan is emulating Pan India Star Prabhas. Last year, Prabhas starred in 'Salaar: Part 1 ā Ceasefire,' which was released as a Christmas gift and became a blockbuster, grossing Rs. 700 crores worldwide on December 22, 2023. The decision to release during Christmas was strategic, aimed at avoiding competition with major stars like Mahesh Babu, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh, who had films lined up for the Sankranti festival in January 2024. Similarly, Ram Charan and his team are considering a solo Christmas release to ensure strong box office returns without facing competition from other big names. For Sankranti 2025, Megastar Chiranjeeviās 'Vishwambhara' has been scheduled, and films like Venkateshās new project with Anil Ravipudi and Ajithās 'Good Bad Ugly', as well as 'Shatamanam Bhavati 2' are also expected to release. Thus, releasing 'Game Changer' as a Christmas gift could potentially replicate the box office impact seen with 'Salaar.'
High Hopes for Game Changer!
Following the disappointment of Shankar's recent release 'Bharateeyudu 2', which failed to meet audience expectations and was widely criticized online, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar's return to success. Shankar's previous films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office, adding to the pressure. Dil Raju, too, is looking to rebound from the significant losses incurred from Vijay Deverakonda's 'Family Star', which was a box office disaster. The industry is abuzz with talk that 'Game Changer' will be a significant turnaround for both the director and the producer. All hopes for success are now pinned on this Ram Charan movie.
Is This the Story?
A leading OTT platform, Amazon Prime, has already revealed the storyline of 'Game Changer'. Announcing its upcoming films on their platform, Amazon Prime unveiled the plot of 'Game Changer', which revolves around an honest IAS officer fighting political corruption. Reports suggest that Charan will be seen in dual roles as father and son. Kiara Advani is starring opposite Ram Charan. Other significant roles are played by Srikanth, Sunil, Naveen Chandra, Jayaram, Samuthirakani, and Anjali. S. S. Thaman is providing the music for this film.

I lead a more luxurious life than Rajamouli.ā These comments by RGV have also trended on social media.

Let's delve into the specifics of this update that has fans so upset.
Here's Why the Fans Are Angry!
Fans have been eagerly anticipating the 'SSMB29' project, a collaboration between Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli.

Fans had been hoping for an announcement on August 9th, Mahesh Babuās birthday, but recent buzz suggests that there won't be any announcement regarding the film on that day. This news going viral online has infuriated Mahesh Babu's fans, who are questioning Rajamouli's decisions. However, some fans still believe that Rajamouli will definitely give a birthday treat.
Heading to Sets in September!
The pre-production work for 'SSMB29' is nearly complete. Director Rajamouli plans to start filming in September after wrapping up the remaining preparations. Recent buzz online has also speculated that Mahesh Babu will play dual roles in the film, including one with negative shades. Mahesh Babu has never played a dual role or a character with negative shades in any of his previous 28 films, which makes this update particularly exciting for fans. The veracity of this information needs confirmation from Rajamouli's team.
The Film Will Be a Trilogy!
Another exciting rumor about the 'SSMB 29' project is causing a stir online: the film will be released in three parts. Itās said that Rajamouli has proposed to the makers to develop the movie in three parts, considering the extensive scope for graphics and the depth of the story requiring at least three parts to be fully told.

Nassar Joins the Movie Team!
Recently, interesting news has also trended online that renowned actor Nassar is involved in the movie. He has been participating in workshops along with other actors, offering valuable suggestions and advice to Mahesh Babu, particularly in delivering dialogues. Nassar, a seasoned theater artist known for his roles in Telugu and Tamil films, has previously helped in Rajamouliās 'Baahubali' and 'RRR' to teach actors how to deliver dialogues appropriate to various regional accents. His iconic performance as Bijjaladeva in 'Baahubali' has left a lasting impression.

The film 'Kalki 2898 AD' has been successfully running in theaters for 15 days. The production company Vyjayanthi Movies has officially announced the collections so far. The Kalki movie has grossed over ā¹1000 crores in these 15 days. A special poster was released on this occasion, showcasing Prabhas in a Karna avatar targeting the ā¹1000 crore mark.

Prabhas, the Unique South Hero
Through 'Kalki 2898 AD', hero Prabhas has set a record. He is the only South Indian hero to have joined the ā¹1000 crore club twice. Prabhas first joined this club with 'Baahubali 2'. Although it was anticipated that he would touch ā¹1000 crores again with 'Salaar', it stalled around ā¹705ā715 crores. However, with Kalki, he has achieved this feat for the second time. With collections exceeding ā¹1000 crores, he has proven himself unstoppable at the box office, thereby equalling Bollywood's Shahrukh Khan's record. Currently, these two stars are the only ones to have placed their films in the ā¹1000 crore club twice, with Shahrukh doing so with 'Jawan' and 'Pathaan'.
Soon Into the Top-3
With the latest collections, Kalki has placed seventh in the list of films with the highest gross in Indian cinema history. 'Dangal', starring Aamir Khan, continues to lead with ā¹2,023 crores. Prabhas's own 'Baahubali 2' holds second place with ā¹1,810 crores. 'RRR' with ā¹1,387 crores, 'KGF 2' with ā¹1,200ā1,250 crores, 'Jawan' with ā¹1,148 crores, and 'Pathaan' with ā¹1,050 crores follow in subsequent positions. However, with Kalki joining the ā¹1000 crore club within just two weeks, it is poised to break more records in the coming days and easily move into the third position, giving a tough time to the films currently in third, fourth, and fifth places.
How Much Did Day 1 Collections Bring In?
All eyes are currently on the Day 1 collections of the 'Kalki 2898 AD' movie. Vyjayanthi Movies, the production company, has officially announced the first day's earnings. 'Kalki' grossed ā¹191.5 crores worldwide on its first day. A special poster was also released with the caption 'Let's Celebrate Cinema'. Initially, trade circles predicted that Kalki would gross over ā¹200 crores on its first day. However, the film narrowly missed the ā¹200 crore mark.
How Much Did the First Weekend Yield?
Directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD' grossed ā¹555 crores worldwide in its first weekend. A special poster featuring major stars such as Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone, along with the lead, was posted last week by the production company. The caption read, 'Dominating the global box office with no signs of slowing down'.

Kalki 2898 AD Day 2 Collections
The film "Kalki 2898 AD," directed by Nag Ashwin starring Prabhas, is successfully being showcased globally. Released in theaters worldwide on June 27, the film is creating a storm at the box office, with house-full boards lighting up across the country. On its opening day, the movie grossed a sensational Rs. 191.50 crores, drawing all eyes to its second-day performance. Let's now look at how it fared on the second day.
How much did it collect on Day 2?
Vyjayanthi Movies officially announced the second-day collections of "Kalki 2898 AD." After bagging Rs. 191.5 crores on the first day, the film managed to gather Rs. 298.5 crores (GROSS) worldwide over two days, as stated by the makers who also posted a special poster on social media to mark the occasion. According to the producers, "Kalki" continued its strong performance by adding another Rs. 107 crores (GROSS) on the second day. However, compared to the first day's collections, there was a significant drop of 80% in the revenues. This downturn has led to disappointment among Prabhasās fans as the film failed to reach the anticipated Rs. 350 crores mark within the first two days, barely crossing Rs. 300 crores instead.
First Day All-Time Record
The film "Kalki" has created a sensation in North America, winning over audiences with the performances of Prabhas and other leading actors. In this region, "Kalki" set an all-time record by earning $3.8 million from the premieres on its opening day, marking the highest first-day collection ever achieved by an Indian film in North America. This milestone placed "Kalki" at the top, followed by "RRR" (which made $3.46 million), "Salaar" ($2.6 million), and "Baahubali 2" ($2.45 million) in the subsequent positions.
RRR's Record Remains Safe!
According to trade experts, "Kalki 2898 AD" could not surpass the record set by "RRR," which remains the top-grossing Indian film on day one with Rs. 223 crores (GROSS). "Kalki" ended its first day with Rs. 180 crores, failing to break the record held by "Baahubali 2," which is in second place with Rs. 217 crores. However, "Kalki" did surpass other major films like "KGF 2" (Rs. 164.5 crores), "Salaar" (Rs. 158 crores), "Adipurush" (Rs. 136.8 crores), and "Saaho" (Rs. 125.6 crores), securing its place in the top three.
Impact of Match on Collections!
The promotional efforts for "Kalki 2898 AD" fell short compared to films like "Baahubali 2" and "RRR." Greater promotional activities could have potentially led to new box office records. Additionally, the T-20 World Cup match between India and England on Thursday evening (June 27) diverted the audienceās attention, negatively impacting the film's collections on its opening day. The fact that it was a working day also affected the revenue. With the World Cup final scheduled for today (June 29), there's a possibility of further impacts on the movie's third-day collections.

Record Collections in the US

If 'Kalki' receives positive reviews, it is expected to easily surpass the records of 'RRR' and 'Baahubali 2', according to local sources.
