Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan have come together to create the much-awaited sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD, which is scheduled to arrive in Russia on 1 November, 2024. Nag Ashwin’s futuristic drama is creating massive buzz all over India. The combination of star power and cutting-edge visual effects is sure to create waves not only in the country but also beyond its borders.
Kalki 2898 AD to Follow the Success of Pushpa in Russia
Of late, Indian cinema has been drawing a lot of interest in the Russian market, especially after the new blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise. For instance, Pushpa: The Rise collected almost 10 million rubles, that is around ₹88 lakh, in the last 25 days since the movie was released in Russia. It is a precedent case for Kalki 2898 AD, which aspires to reach a larger set of audience in the region and would look to more than the success garnered by Pushpa.
Given that Kalki 2898 AD is a complete visual spectacular featuring some of the big names of Indian cinema, it can create considerable impact at the Russian box office.
Perception of Russian audiences towards Indian Films
Indian films, especially those movies with a lot of action and larger-than-life story, have been gaining popularity in the past years among Russian audiences. The Baahubali and RRR team have garnered more followers; however, Indian filmmakers other than them have also presented Indian films to the Russian audience. Produced with a high budget and casting big names, Kalki 2898 AD will surely spark interest in Russia and contribute significantly toward the current presence of Indian cinema in Russia.

Expectations from Kalki 2898 AD in Russia?
While Pushpa: The Rise set a good benchmarking standard with its collection of 10 million rubles, Kalki 2898 AD will look to cash in on the ever-growing demand for Indian cinema. Its unique premise of blending mythology and science fiction along with performances by established stars gives it the potential to resonate internationally. And since it releases just before the holiday season in Russia, all chances are further boosted to turn it into a box office success.
Industry monitors are focusing their attention on all eyes on the Movie. However, optimism about its performance in India and globally, including Russia, is getting stronger industry wise. The industry sources have said that the film is going to become an important milestone for Indian cinema, as it has started doing well internationally.
