Kalki 2898 AD, on the other hand, earned ₹70.5 crore on day 2. The Kalki trailer, which was released in June, had received over two million views before the movie’s release.
On its third day, the Nag Ashwin directorial grossed ₹79 crore, substantially higher than its collection on the previous day. Meanwhile, the Indian 2 box office collection saw a significant dip, when compared to its previous days. It recorded ₹15.35 crore on the third day.
