Kalki 2898 AD is the kind of widescreen majesty that makes the butter of your popcorn shine in the dark. There isn’t anything else like it in the movies right now, so jump right in.
It’s all a lot, as they say, but those with a taste for maximalism will swoon over the goods on offer here.

Wonderful movie and amazing experience to watch it on theatres. The Mahabharata scenes are giving me goosebumps and transformation of Bhairava to Karna is amazing a eye spectacular.

Goofy, over-earnest, and just good enough where it counts, Kalki 2898 AD outdistances its competition simply by digging deeper than expected into its patchy lore’s rich melodramatic turf.
By channeling the gravitas of Western sci-fi movies, Kalki 2898 AD loses some of the range that makes Indian movies special. Its ambition is to be applauded. Its self-seriousness, not so much.
Seamlessly blending the best inspirations from sci-fi, fantasy, and Hindu epics, the film is a staggering cinematic experience — even if that experience drags toward the end.
The aggressively spectacular (and, again, CGI-intensified) action set-pieces are generously plentiful and undeniably thrilling, and the lead players are charismatic enough, or over-the-top villainous enough, to seize and maintain interest.
Ultimately, for all its wildly entertaining elements, Kalki 2898 AD feels like too much of a good thing, resembling the sort of lavish buffet meal that leaves you feeling overstuffed and exhausted. But fans of this particular style of cinema are not likely to mind.
Dont believe thee clown words who loved the dune type sleepy poisons and those hollywood directors who inspired to take from mahabharatham proportions. Except some like 20mins in first half is avoid able other than that rest of the movie is the best vfx in indian cinema with indian mythology **** 100percent best than those who lived the avatar 4 hours sleeping pill

Nice effort. I'll give the filmmakers that and they should continue with expanding the universe. They can only get better from here.
Bad things:
1. Prabhas was boring af. The half an hour long introductory fight scene of him was the most boring part of the whole film. Bujji was also mid.
2. Music was super bad. (Hwaaainnn hwainnn, eheeeehhhheeeee. Screaming is not background music, it's irritation. Whoever is the music director, this knowledge must be given to him. Songs were also bad.)
3. Full of secondary/tertiary characters like of Disha Patani, Brahmanandam, Kyra actress, Raya child actor/actress, evil bounty hunter in Kashi etc getting way too much screentime. Three hours was a **** drag. There is an awesome, 5 stars out 5, 130 minutes film in here.
4. Pacing was mumbo jumbo.
Good things:
1. Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, Manas actor. Amit ji still kicking ass. He truly is the Goat.
2. Mahabharata scenes were very very catchy. Decision to keep Krishna ji in silhouette was very cinematic.
3. Filmmakers' vision for writing such an original story linked up with the Epic Mahabharata is very commendable.
4. Design of the Dystopian Kashi was good, only good, not awesome. The inverted pyramid for Complex was awesome. Should've explored it more. (It reminded me of Elysium)
5. CGI, good for the budget they had.
Score: 3 / 5

"Kalki 2898 AD" is an ambitious blend of sci-fi and mythology, envisioning a futuristic world shaped by ancient prophecies. The film's stunning visuals and imaginative storyline captivate, though pacing issues and a complex narrative may challenge some viewers. With strong performances and impressive special effects, it offers a unique cinematic experience for those intrigued by speculative fiction and epic tales.
