Visual Grandeur and Blockbuster Appeal:
Audiences are also praising the film’s structure and pacing. One tweet noted, “BLOCKBUSTER.. good first half with some slow scenes; the interval is great. The second half peaks, the climax, and that last 10 – 15 minutes gave me a huge ADRENALINE RUSH.” Another added, “Amitabh & Prabhas rocked it. Hollywood range scenes in the 2nd half. Sci-Fi action movie covered Mahabharat scenes, must watch in theatres.”
The film’s visual grandeur and performances have left audiences in awe. “Kudos to the entire team, especially captain Mr. Nag Ashwin. Awestruck visual grandeur, spectacular performances, and a great blend of mythology and sci-fi. Eagerly waiting for part 2,” said a thrilled viewer.
Mixed and Average Reviews:
While the majority of reviews are positive, some viewers have offered more measured praise. One user remarked, “So much better than expected. Safe to say that it lived up to the hype.”
Another said, “In terms of VFX and World Building, this is no less than Hollywood. 1st of its kind in India. The lack of emotional content and proper BGM will restrict the BoxOffice potential of the movie for sure. I mean, it’s a good movie but you can’t watch it twice.”
There are also a few critiques regarding the film’s pacing and music. “Slow narration killed the spirit,” one viewer noted, while another commented, “Music could have been better though.”
A few viewers felt the film had its flaws, particularly in terms of pacing and music. One critical tweet read, “Slow narration killed the spirit. Music could have been better though.”
Despite some criticism, the overall sentiment remains highly favorable, with another viewer adding, “Nagi’s efforts should be appreciated but dubbing in this movie is one of the worst I have seen. Irritating for me. Rod 1st half & decent 2nd half. Deepika, Kamal Haasan & Amitabh’s threads are good.”
Acting Highlights:
The performances of the lead actors have been particularly highlighted. “Prabhas gave scope to the story & space to others to shine in this big canvas. Amitabh carried the first half, Prabhas & Deepika shone in the 2nd half. Unbelievable landscapes, Mahabharat unforgettable glimpses, great story with a few wobbles,” said an enthusiastic fan.
One memorable scene has captured the audience’s imagination. “Witness the magic of cinema with Amitabh’s powerful portrayal of Ashwathama, Deepika’s mesmerizing walk, and Prabhas holding Kalki! This interval scene from #Kalki2898AD is pure brilliance!”
Overall, “Kalki 2898 AD” is being celebrated as a cinematic triumph, blending mythology with futuristic elements in a way that has captivated audiences and set a new standard for Indian films.
