Hyderabad, June 30 - A day after India's cricket World Cup glory, Prabhas-fronted Kalki 2898 AD is running riot and is potentially looking to score the second big day if not the biggest at the domestic box office in its short run so far. ## To understand the mass rampage Kalki 2898 AD is having today, it has crossed the peak hourly sold ticket count of superstar Shah Rukh Khan-fronted Jawan to create a new record on the ticketing platform, Book My Show. Last year, Jawan peaked with 86K tickets sold in a single hour on BMS, and now, Kalki has become the first movie to top 90K hourly peak count and is likely to top 100K during the day. ## Directed by Nag Ashwin, the sci-fi epic has already earned around 370 crores gross collection at the worldwide box office in the first three days, and it will surely top 500 crores at the end of its 4-day opening weekend to become only the 6th Indian movie to do in the first weekend. ## Earlier yesterday, sold 1.28 million tickets on BMS which is a record since the platform started reporting ticket count on its app, and it seems, Sunday will be even bigger. ## The movie is produced by C. Aswani Dutt and co-produced by Swapna Dutt and Priyanka Dutt under the banner of Vyjayanthi Movies. It also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani, among many others in key roles. ## #Kalki2898AD Rampage Mode ON🔥🔥Highest Booking on BMS in an Hour: 94.97K.☑️Lets see if it can cross 100K or not. pic.twitter.com/4fljVEnwXu— Sacnilk Entertainment (@SacnilkEntmt) June 30, 2024 ## Stay tuned...
