Summary India's most expensive movie of all time Kalki 2898 AD has broken a major box office record. Kalki 2898 AD, which was made for a record-setting $75 million, generated the highest-grossing opening weekend worldwide in the history of Indian cinema. The film was able to accumulate ₹555 crore after being released for only four days, which is equivalent to roughly $66 million USD.

Kalki 2898 AD has an impressive Rotten Tomatoes critic score of 81% and an even better audience score of 93%. Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com writes in his review of the film, "Goofy, over-earnest, and just good enough where it counts, “Kalki 2898 AD” outdistances its competition simply by digging deeper than expected into its patchy lore’s rich melodramatic turf.

The 2022 celebrated Indian blockbuster RRR was the most expensive Indian movie ever made with a budget of roughly $69 million before Kalki 2898 AD was made.

How Kalki 2898 AD Became A Box Office Hit Its lead actor and director are both celebrated Prabhas is one of the highest-paid and highest-grossing actors in the history of Indian cinema.
