TELUGU 360 (Rating: 3.25/5):
“Kalki” is a wondrous fictional film and a synonym for grand filmmaking. It introduces a truly cinematic universe to the Indian screen. The movie offers many goosebump-inducing visuals, although some scenes are narrated somewhat flatly. Parts of the film sees a significant drop in momentum, but the magnificent climax redeems the film. The mythological elements work well, while the sci-fi aspects are less effective. It’s recommended for the whole family, offering vision, grandeur, and spectacle.
Great Andhra (Rating: 3.25/5):
Overall, Kalki 2898 AD is definitely the film from India to the world audiences as a story rooted in the Mahabharata epic and connecting its way to thousands of years in the future. Kalki 2898 AD is a great start to an epic cinematic universe and its visuals are terrific for a theatrical watch.
Mirchi9 (Rating: 2.75/5):
Overall, Kalki 2898 AD deserves a watch in theaters for its scale, vision, and top-notch action sequences. However, the lack of drama and emotions is a big miss.
123TELUGU (Rating: 3.5/5):
On the whole, Kalki 2898 AD stands out as one of Tollywood’s finest films, seamlessly blending a futuristic world with a mythological backdrop. Prabhas impresses with his exceptional portrayal in dual roles, which will be a true delight for his fans. Amitabh Bachchan delivers a stellar performance, while Deepika Padukone shines brightly in her character. The interval’s explosive impact and the gripping confrontations between Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan are truly remarkable. From the intense pre-climax to the gripping cliffhanger, the film offers mind-blowing sequences that justify every moment on screen. However, the first half’s slow-burn narrative and length might test audiences’ patience. Don’t miss this cinematic experience—secure your tickets now and witness it in the best format possible.
Times Of India (Rating: 3.5/5):
“Kalki 2898 AD” follows the style of Hollywood superhero films, incorporating elements of Indian mythology. The characters from the Mahabharat seamlessly blend into the dystopian thriller genre. Although the ambition and setting are impressive, the overall experience provides mixed feelings. It functions effectively in certain locations, but less so in others. Overall, the movie is worth seeing because of its ambition and effort.
