After earning 10.10 crores on Thursday, Kalki [Hindi] held steady on its second Friday with collections of 9.75 crores. This marks the first instance of the film dipping into single-digit earnings. However, the figure remains robust, and the decline from its opening day tally of 22.50 crores is just slightly over 50%. There were expectations for the film to show some growth on Friday, given the lack of significant competition in theaters. Despite this, the substantial audience turnout in the initial days has limited the potential for further growth.

Attention is now focused on the weekend performance, particularly Saturday and Sunday. For Kalki [Hindi] to achieve a double century by the end of the second weekend, a growth rate of at least 30%-40% over the weekend is necessary. The target seemed more attainable if Friday’s earnings had matched Thursday’s, but given the slight dip, the film’s future success will be observed closely. Historically, Saturday tends to be the strongest day for box office growth, so there is optimism that Kalki [Hindi] will experience a significant boost. Whether this trend will hold for Kalki [Hindi] remains to be seen.
Having surpassed the 170 crores mark, the film’s current total stands at 173 crores. This impressive nine-day tally is the highest recorded for any film released in 2024 so far. By the end of the second week, Kalki [Hindi] is likely to set a new record for the highest total earnings in this period. The film is a confirmed hit, and with revenue pouring in from the original Telugu version as well as other dubbed versions, Kalki is poised to achieve an all-India net of over 500 crores in the near future.

The film’s success is not just measured in Hindi-speaking markets but also across other regions, reflecting its broad appeal. Kalki’s storyline, star power, and production values have clearly resonated with audiences. As it continues to draw crowds, the film industry is watching keenly to see just how high it can climb. The coming days will be crucial in determining if Kalki can maintain its momentum and continue to break records, establishing itself as one of the top-grossing films of the year.
