Nag Ashwin

directed

Kalki 2898 AD

, starring

Amitabh Bachchan

,

Kamal Haasan

,

Prabhas

and

Deepika Padukone

, recently completed one month at the box office. And in this time, the film set many box office records, not only in India but also in North America, which is one of the biggest markets for Telugu films.

In India, the film is currently chasing Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan spot to become the fourth highest grossing film of Indian Cinema, and in North America, it has already become the highest grossing foreign film of the year, by minting more than US $ 18 million.

But, there seems to be one record which it is now unlikely to break, and that is to become the highest grossing Indian film in North America.

The

SS Rajamouli

directed, Prabhas and Rana Daggubati starrer Baahubali 2- The Conclusion is the currently holder of the top spot in the list of highest grossing Indian film in North America. With the way Kalki 2898 AD began its journey at the box office and how it sustained in the first two weeks, one was expecting it to displace Baahubali 2 as well. But, by the end the film entered its third and fourth week, it began to lose steam, and at the end of 33 days, the film has minted US $ 18.48 million, while Baahubali 2 is sitting at US $ 20.77 million; the difference between the two films is more than US $ 2 million . On the 33rd day at the ticket window , Kalki 2898 AD minted just about US $ 7500, and with this speed, it is seems like it will take the second spot in the list.

Nag Ashwin’s directorial venture had beaten films like Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Jawan, Jr NTR and Ram Charan’s RRR and

Ranbir Kapoor

’s Animal to reach the second spot.
The next big challenger for Kalki 2898 AD will be

Shraddha Kapoor

and Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2 which is releasing on 15th August, and in North America it is being released by the same distributor who released Kalki.
