“Stellar is an understatement.Outstanding & enthralling feat from telugu cinema,” came from another.

Though the movie reminds us few Hollywood epics like Dune, Alita Battle Angel and few, whole heartedly appreciating the director effort to stick to his script and not sacrificing. At times it lags but EPIC effort to make these kind of movies.…

The most captivating element of #KALKI2898AD is really the supreme Yaskin. His philosophy, his expression and his madness is almost a "avant goût" of the second part but also what he is capable of in Indian 2. A great Kamal ji. For the rest, I let people make their own opinion. pic.twitter.com/b7myeSnpmp

“I lost all faith in Prabhas after watching Adipurush and Salaar. But, this one is extremely good. It shows that the movie has a budget of ₹600 crore. The VFX is obviously good as they have collaborated with Hollywood,” said one viewer after watching the movie.
Another viewer called it “Hollywood stuff”. “First half. Very good stuff from Nagi…One fight is little draggedOverall very impressive narration and Hollywood stuff. Surprise elements. Pre interval is of next level,” the viewer added.
A viewer called it “a visual feast”. “This sci-fi comedy brilliantly blends stunning worlds with laugh-out-loud moments. beautiful visuals are a treat for the eyes,” the viewer added.
Kalki 2898 AD: Negative reviews
While many find the movie “outstanding”, there are some who were left unimpressed.
The movie is “bearable whenever Prabhas is NOT on the screen. The world building is good but it's boring first half. And Comedy falls flat! Some cringe moments too! So far very poor! Hoping to get it better in Second Half!”, wrote one social media user after watching the first half.
"Watched #KALKI and honestly, it was a disaster! The plot was all over the place, and the acting by [prabhas , deepika] was cringe-worthy. How did this even get greenlit?” wrote another user.
Another viewer called it a “COMPLETE MESS” and “Heartbreak for Prabhas Fans”. “Filled with Useless Cameos to cover failure and Poor Direction, No Screenplay, Feels like Rajinikanth’s Kochadaiyaan, 200 Crore Loss Loading,” wrote another.
Helmed by Nag Ashwin, Kalki 2898 AD is a sci-fi dystopian film that stars Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani in key roles. Kamal Haasan essays the role of the main antagonist in the film. The film also has some cameos of Dulquer Salmaan, SS Rajamouli, and Vijay Deverakonda. The film has finally been released in theatres and is already breaking records at the box office in North America.
