To put it mildly, the first weekend's
box office result has been spectacular. Even with its modest marketing strategy and unassuming style, the
movie has managed to draw large crowds of
people into theatres. Moving on, the
movie has made a very respectable global gross of more than Rs 500 crore after completing its first weekend at the box office. The picture has profited greatly from its extremely successful run in both the North American and
hindi markets. Aside from the traditionally robust
telugu states belt, these are the main contributors.
The
kerala belt has made a surprisingly excellent contribution. Even though the gross volume of Rs 12 crore may not appear high, it is a respectable amount for the
kerala market. The
movie has surpassed both the coveted Rs 100 crore nett mark in
hindi and the $11 million milestone at the North American box office.
W
ith ease during the first weekend of release,
kalki has crossed the Rs 500 crore milestone, thanks to the collective effort from all key markets. In terms of the film's overall earnings of Rs 1000 crore, a lot will rely on how well it does during its second weekend of release. This number could really come true if the
telugu states, the USA, and the
hindi belt maintain their current velocity. We will get a better projection once the second weekend numbers are out.
