The countdown has officially begun for the highly anticipated release of “Kalki 2898 AD,” and fans are eagerly awaiting its arrival. The makers of the film recently unveiled the official trailer, which was met with a positive response. However, despite high expectations of it going viral, the trailer failed to make it to the Top 10 Most Viewed Hindi Trailers on YouTube in the first 24 hours. Read on for more details!“Kalki 2898 AD” boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Disha Patani. With such big names attached to the project, one would assume that their star power alone would be enough to draw audiences to the theaters.
Directed by Nag Ashwin, the film promises to be an epic science fiction action extravaganza with top-notch production values. Industry projections indicated that the film would set the box office on fire. However, the same couldn’t be said about its YouTube views.Within the first 24 hours, “Kalki 2898 AD” managed to accumulate a total of 17 million views on YouTube. The initial response was promising, as it crossed the 1 million mark within the first 30 minutes. However, the viewership gradually slowed down, resulting in significantly fewer views compared to the top contenders on the list.Let’s take a look at the Top 10 Most Viewed Hindi Trailers on YouTube within the first 24 hours:
- “Salaar” – 54.2 million views
- “Adipurush” – 52.2 million views
- “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar” – 50.9 million views
- “Animal” – 50.6 million views
- “KGF: Chapter 2” – 49 million views
- “Jawan Prevue” – 45.6 million views
- “Cirkus” – 45 million views
- “Samrat Prithviraj” – 43.8 million views
- “83 – The Film” – 43 million views
- “Sooryavanshi” – 42.9 million views
Even if we consider Akshay Kumar’s “Sooryavanshi,” the Prabhas-starrer “Kalki 2898 AD” would need an additional 25.9 million views to secure a spot on the list. The margin is quite substantial, especially considering we’re talking about the last position on the list.When we consider views across all languages, “Kalki 2898 AD” garnered a total of 36.7 million views. Unfortunately, that number still falls short of making it onto the coveted list.Nevertheless, we remain hopeful that the pre-release buzz will continue to grow, and the film will ultimately become the biggest Indian spectacle at the box office. With a reported budget of 600 crores, “Kalki 2898 AD” is undeniably a massive risk. But sometimes, it’s those risks that pay off and create cinematic magic.
