Prabhas has become a major challenge for other heroes in the industry. Every year, his movies set new benchmarks, opening with massive collections, and 2024 is no different with "Kalki." 🏆
The big question now is, which movie will beat this record? Vijay's "G.O.A.T." failed to surpass "Kalki." So, who’s next on the list? Who will match or break the "Mission Kalki" records? Prabhas has solidified his position as the ultimate Pan-Indian hero, and the box office numbers speak for themselves.
Last year, "Salaar" collected ₹168 crores on its first day, while this year, "Kalki" amassed a whopping ₹183 crores. Vijay's "Leo" came close with ₹146 crores on the first day but couldn't outdo "Kalki." The "G.O.A.T." with Vijay and Venkat Prabhu, despite low expectations, made a sensational opening in Tamil Nadu, grossing ₹125 crores globally on its first day. However, it fell short compared to "Kalki."
Now, all eyes are on "Pushpa 2" to potentially beat "Kalki." Alongside it, "Devara" and "Game Changer" are also in the race. But to cross the ₹185 crore mark on the first day, these films need at least ₹40 crores from the Hindi circuits alone.
The buzz around "Pushpa 2" in North India suggests it might get bigger openings there than in Telugu states, similar to "Kalki," which collected ₹25 crores on its first day in Hindi. If "Pushpa 2" repeats this success in Telugu, Tamil, and overseas markets, it could easily shatter "Kalki's" record. Moreover, after "Baahubali 2" and "RRR," no film has crossed ₹200 crores on its first day, making it a target for "Pushpa 2."
So, the big question remains: who will be the hero to dethrone "Kalki" in 2024? Let's wait and watch! 🎬🔥
