RTC_DS1307 + PIC18F458 displaying time and date as zeroes

I am trying to get the RTCDS1307 + PIC hardware to work in order to display the appropriate data and time. But the problem is that, its displaying the time and date as 00:00:00 and 00/00/2000 as shown in the snap below.

I presume that the RTC registers aren't be set properly or there is no data tx and rx happening at all when it comes to the hardware.I cross checked the code/bit rate calculations and everything seems to be fine. I don't understand how come it isn't working. Is there anything wrong with the I2C initialization or my approach?. Any help regarding this would be appreciated.Here is the code:

#include<P18F458.h>
#include<xc.h>
#include<htc.h>
#include"LCD.h"

#define RTC_ADDRR 0xD1

    while(SSPCON2bits.SEN); //Wait until cleared by hardware
}


void I2C_stop()
{
    SSPCON2bits.PEN = 1; //Set stop enable bit
    while(SSPCON2bits.PEN); //Wait until cleared by hardware
    I2C_idle();
}

{

    RTC_Write(0,0x00);
 }

unsigned char RTC_Read(unsigned char addr)
{
    unsigned char x;
    I2C_start(); //Enable repeated start condition
    SSPBUF = RTC_ADDRW;
    I2C_idle();

    I2C_idle();

    SSPBUF = RTC_ADDRR;
    I2C_restart();
    SSPCON2bits.RCEN = 1; //Enable to recieve data
