Prabhas in 'Kalki 2898-AD'
The Big Picture The blockbuster film Kalki 2898 AD lived up to high expectations in its global box office debut, delivering the best opening weekend haul in the history of Indian cinema. The science-fiction epic, which has been sprinkled with a liberal dose of Indian “masala” by director Nag Ashwin, out-performed last year’s Jawan and the crossover hit RRR, although it had the benefit of an extra day since it was released on Thursday.
Starring the wildly popular Prabhas, Kalki also broke RRR’s domestic opening record, in addition to out-performing Prabhas' own Salaar: Part 1 — Ceasefire. Kalki made around $6 million in its traditional three-day domestic debut, and over $11 million in the extended five-day opening — it was released on Wednesday in North America.
Kalkiwas released in several Indian languages, including English. It isn’t what audiences would commonly call a “Bollywood” movie. That term usually applies only to movies in the Hindi language. Kalki, on the other hand, is a Telugu film that has been dubbed for the convenience of crowds across India and the world. The film is designed to start a franchise, and combines elements of Hindu mythology with dystopian sci-fi tropes.
