'Kalki 2898 AD' Story
In the year 2898 AD, the desertified city of Kasi stands as the last known city on Earth. It is ruled by a totalitarian elite led by the god-king Supreme Yaskin, who resides in the "Complex," a hovering inverted-pyramidal megastructure above the city. Set against a backdrop that weaves ancient Indian Hindu mythology with a dystopian society, the story spans millennia, beginning with the events of the Mahabharata in 3102 BC, marking the start of the Kali Yuga, and culminating in 2898 AD. At its core, the narrative focuses on the arrival of Kalki, the enigmatic tenth and final avatar of the Hindu deity Vishnu.

Venkky Reviews: #Kalki2898AD is a larger than life Sci-FI Action Experience. The visuals and world building by Nag Ashwin are never before from Indian Cinema. However, Nag Ashwin shows some inexperience in building a proper drama and emotional connect with somewhat of a flat screenplay.

Still, he was able to manage a couple of very good blocks especially the climax which worked very well and is goosebumps worthy.

Despite some of its flaws, This is a movie that should be experienced on the big screen for the experience it offers!

Rating: 3/5

Kudos to the whole of team of Kalki for attempting to bring a never before movie for Indian Cinema.

Nag Ashwin showed signs of both brilliance and inexperience. He was brilliant in focusing on the visuals and the finer details world. However, it felt at times he couldn't establish a proper drama and emotional connect which would've elevated the movie even further.

All the cameos expect Mrunal are wasted and Vijay Deverakondas cameo is very odd.

SaNA did a very good job with the BGM in certain places but in others it was just adequate.

Prabhas had limited screen time in this one but did a good job in a fun character and gives a big fan worthy sequence in the climax. The rest of the cast especially Amitabh and Deepika have done and take up majority of the screenspace.

Panipuri: #Kalki2898AD Review : "NEXT LEVEL MADNESS"🔥🔥🔥
#Kalki28989AD First Half Report : "GOOD FIRST HALF"

The First Half of #Kalki is dedicated to setting up the story and presenting visuals that are unprecedented in Indian Cinema.

While the screenplay frels somewhat flat,it appears that much of the story will unfold in the Second Half.

TFI Talkies: #Kalki28989AD First half is a new age Indian Visual treat with the past and future. All the intros and many cameos. #Prabhas‌ limited screen presence. Below par music and bgm, okayish screenplay. Awaiting for decent 2nd half.
