Kalki 2898 AD Sets New Records in Japan, Stands Next to RRR
Kalki 2898 AD, the latest blockbuster starring Prabhas, is making waves in Japan.

Kalki 2898 AD sets records in Japan, becoming the highest day-one grosser among Indian films and standing next to RRR.
Kalki 2829 AD Breaks Records and Rises to New Heights
Released yesterday, Kalki 2898 AD has surpassed the opening day collection record previously held by Prabhas’ own film, Saaho. The movie now stands as the second-highest-grossing Indian film in Japan on its first day, next only to the phenomenal RRR.
Unlike RRR, which benefited from an extensive promotional campaign, Kalki 2898 AD has managed to garner immense attention with minimal marketing efforts.
RRR’s Legacy and Kalki’s Momentum
RRR, directed by SS Rajamouli, became a cultural phenomenon in Japan, achieving massive success at the box office with its engaging storyline and impactful promotions. While Kalki lacked similar promotional backing, its strong content and Prabhas’ established fanbase have propelled it to instant success.
If Kalki continues this momentum, it has the potential to surpass RRR and emerge as the biggest Indian film in Japan.
Prabhas’ Influence in Japan
Prabhas has cultivated a loyal fanbase in Japan, thanks to the Baahubali franchise. This solid foundation has undoubtedly contributed to Kalki 2898 AD’s performance. Even without his physical presence for promotions, the film is creating a strong buzz.
Kalki is proving to be a force to reckon with at the Japanese box office. By setting new records and standing next to RRR, it has demonstrated the growing appeal of Indian cinema in international markets.
The continued success of Kalki 2898 AD could mark a new era for Indian films in Japan, further strengthening the global presence of Telugu cinema.
