Is Prabhas's 'Kalki 2898' a disaster in Japan..!?

China and japan markets are very important for indian films. Especially for star heroes like Aamir Khan, Rajinikanth, prabhas, and NTR, there is a special demand there. Did Aamir Khan's `Dangal` collect 2000 crores? Of which 1500 crores were looted from the Chinese market. There is nothing to say about Rajinikanth's records. Rajinikanth has a following in all the countries of the Asian continent. prabhas is currently in craze. How much do Japanese audiences love Darling? It is reflected there. It is known that prabhas entered the international market with the movie `Baahubali`. Since then, the movies starring darling have been released in china and Japan.
Recently, `Kalki 2898` was also released. This movie was released in japan on a large scale on january 3. However, the results did not look promising. Although prabhas could not attend the premiere of this film, director Nag Ashwin attended to promote the film. However `Kalki 2898` did not connect with the Japanese audience. There is a special reason for releasing kalki in Japan. The makers strongly believed that it would impress the Japanese audience as it is a fantasy fiction film. But the results did not come as expected. `Kalki 2898` earned 8.5 million yen (about ₹45 lakhs) on the day of its release. After that, the collections immediately went down. In the first week, the film's collections stood between 1 to 2 crore yen. According to trade circles, the theatrical run is expected to end much sooner than expected. However, some reasons are coming to the fore for this. The characters of Ashwatthama, Karna, and krishna in `Kalki` are very richly and deeply told in indian mythology. This has become a story that does not make sense to the Japanese audience. The Japanese audience has faced a situation where it does not make sense to which character is which.
