Kalki 2898 AD, the sci-fi action film featuring Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, has officially become the highest-grossing Indian movie of all time. As of this week, it has crossed an impressive ₹2,200 crore at the global box office — a figure that puts it ahead of previous Indian blockbusters like Dangal and RRR.

The film, directed by Nag Ashwin, blends mythology with futuristic storytelling, and has resonated strongly with both Indian and international audiences. Released in multiple languages, Kalki 2898 AD opened to packed theatres worldwide and has kept up momentum through word-of-mouth, strong visuals, and star power.

What stands out is how the film has managed to appeal to such a wide audience — from fans of high-concept sci-fi to those who enjoy classic Indian storytelling. The blend of Vedic elements and a dystopian future gives it a unique flavor that has set it apart from the usual big-budget films.

Industry experts believe this success is a turning point for Indian cinema. It shows that ambitious, genre-blending films from India can do well not just locally, but on a global scale. This also opens doors for more investment in Indian science fiction and big-scale original storytelling.

As streaming platforms gear up for its digital release, fans are already calling for a sequel — and merch sales, fan art, and cosplay from the movie continue to trend online.
