One thing that is surprising in the list is that it also includes Prabhas’ biggest flop film ‘Adipurush’. Shah Rukh Khan’s highest-grossing film ‘Jawan’, directed by Atlee, is at number seven on this list. ‘Jawan’ did a business of Rs 129.6 crore on the first day.
For the past few days, everyone has been talking about Prabhas’ upcoming film ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. The audience has been waiting for a long time for this sci-fi mythological film directed by Nag Ashwin. This is probably the first time that two biggest superstars of Bollywood – Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone, are working on a South film in lead roles.
Everyone’s eyes are now set on the box office numbers of the film. It is expected that ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ could do a business of up to Rs 200 crores on the first day itself.
This number might surprise many people but let us tell you, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ would not be the first film to achieve this feat. Before this, two South films have done a business of over Rs 200 crore on the opening day. We are talking about the film ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ and ‘RRR’.
In terms of first-day earnings, there is no Bollywood or any film originally made in Hindi in India’s top 6 films. The first 6 spots in the list are occupied by South films.
Top 6 highest-grossing films on the first day
Director SS Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’ – Rs 223 crore
Director SS Rajamouli’s ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ – Rs 214.5 crore

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s ‘Leo’ – Rs 142.8 crore
Director Om Raut’s ‘Adipurush’ – Rs 136 crore
One thing that is surprising in the above list is that it also includes Prabhas’ biggest flop film ‘Adipurush’. Shah Rukh Khan’s highest-grossing film ‘Jawan’, directed by Atlee, is at number seven on this list. ‘Jawan’ did a business of Rs 129.6 crore on the first day. That is, Prabhas’s biggest flop is also ahead of Shah Rukh Khan’s biggest hit in this list.
There are only two Bollywood films in the top 10 list of worldwide earnings on opening day. Apart from ‘Jawan’, Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna starrer ‘Animal’ is also included in it. Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal’ collected Rs 115.9 crore on the first day. At number ten is Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar’s ‘2.0’, directed by Shankar, which got an opening of Rs 105.6 crore. This film was the sequel of ‘Robot’.
