This incident is not the first time Kim Kardashian has been criticized for cultural appropriation

Kim Kardashian recently faced significant backlash after using a Lord Ganesha idol as a prop in a photoshoot, which many found disrespectful and offensive. The photo, posted on Instagram, featured Kardashian in a revealing outfit with the idol placed behind her.

This sparked outrage among her followers, particularly from the Hindu community, who accused her of cultural insensitivity and disrespect towards a revered religious figure.

The film collected Rs 543.35 crore nett in its first 15 days, surpassing the lifetime collection of SRK’s “Pathaan” in India.

The movie’s strong performance in the Telugu market has been a significant factor, with Rs 253.75 crore nett from the region. The Hindi market also contributed significantly, adding Rs 232.9 crore nett to the overall business.

While “Kalki 2898 AD” continues its successful run, it now faces competition from Kamal Haasan’s “Indian 2” and Akshay Kumar’s “Sarfira,” both of which have recently hit the screens. Despite this, the Prabhas-starrer has shown resilience, outpacing “Indian 2” on its third Monday.

As “Kalki 2898 AD” edges closer to overtaking “Jawan,” which collected Rs 640.25 crore in its lifetime run, industry analysts are keenly watching to see if it can maintain its momentum amid the new releases.

Indian 2 : The film’s opening day saw Rs 7.9 crore, but the subsequent days showed a sharp decline.

Kamal Haasan‘s much-anticipated vigilante action drama “Indian 2,” directed by Shankar, experienced a dramatic drop at the box office on its first Monday. The film, which opened to mixed reviews, saw its earnings plummet by nearly 80%, collecting only Rs 3.15 crore on its fourth day. This brings the total four-day collection to approximately Rs 14.23 crore.

Despite a star-studded cast and a hefty production budget of Rs 250 crore, “Indian 2” struggled to maintain its initial momentum. The film’s opening day saw Rs 7.9 crore, but the subsequent days showed a sharp decline with Rs 3.2 crore on day two and Rs 2.8 crore on day three.

The significant drop in collections can be attributed to poor word-of-mouth and lackluster reviews, which affected occupancy rates and advance bookings. The film’s underperformance is a setback for both Kamal Haasan and director Shankar, who had high hopes for this sequel.

Indian 2” features an ensemble cast including S.J. Suryah, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, and Siddharth, among others. Despite the film’s grandeur and scale, it seems the storyline and execution failed to resonate with the audience, leading to its underwhelming box office performance.
