On its very first day of release, Kalki 2898 AD broke several box office records. The Hindi version of the movie alone has surpassed the collection of previous Bollywood movies like Fighter, Shaitaan, Crew and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya to become the highest Hindi opener of the year so far. 

Kalki 2898 AD has also become the fourth-highest Indian opener of all time. The film has surpassed Salaar's collection to clench the spot. The first position is retained by RRR which minted ₹133 crore in India on day 1. This is followed by Baahubali 2 (₹121 crore) and KGF 2 (₹166 crore). Consequently, Prabhas has become the only actor to feature in 5 out of the top 7 highest openers of all time.
