Review of Kalki 2898 AD
Kalki 2898 AD, a dystopian future set in Kashi, now known as the Complex, is a fusion of Indian mythology and was written and directed by Nag Ashwin. The movie, which is set 6000 years after the battle of Kurukshetra War, stars Prabhas as Bairava, Amitabh Bachchan as Ashwatthama, and Deepika Padukone as SUM-80 aka Sumathi as Maa. Supreme Yasin (Kamal Haasan), the self-described God of the Complex in charge of the enigmatic Project K, is now in charge of the city of Kashi. The residents of Shambala await the advent of Kalki, the last avatar of Lord Vishnu who is thought to come at the conclusion of the Kali Yug, while Haasan's character and his goons are occupied managing the Complex and conducting experiments on expectant women to extract their essence for unexplained reasons. Kalki 2898 AD, which has a number of flaws, is more of a build-up for the next installment in the Kalki Cinematic Universe, interspersed with a number of celebrity cameos and awkward dialogue and sequences. For a comprehensive analysis of the movie, read our frank Kalki 2898 AD review.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        With impressive sets and lighting, the Mahabharata and a dystopian future are expertly blended. Spoiler alert: Despite having little screen time, Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan shine brightly, leaving you eager to see them on screen again. The cherry on top are the cameo appearances by more than five stars.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
the initial portion. Unwanted tunes forced "romance," embarrassing scenes and conversation, and Disha Patani baring some skins are all present. The picture appears longer than it is thanks to its extended running time, forced humor, and uninteresting background music.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         The movie starts at the conclusion of the Kurukshetra War, when Ashwatthama kills Uttara and Abhimanyu's unborn child to break the Pandavas' bloodline. Lord Krishna is enraged by this and curses Ashwatthama to live eternally and guard Kalki, his final avatar, during the Kali Yuga. After 6000 years, the story moves to a barren Kashi that has lost all of its natural beauty, religious importance, and natural resources. Because they are inconsequential, the inhabitants of Kashi turn to killing, selling people's information, and killing in order to secure them Here, we meet Bairava, a reckless and narcissistic bounty hunter whose sole goal is to get into the Complex and live a luxurious lifestyle with his incredibly intelligent AI automobile, Bujji. We also learn of the existence of Shambala, its inhabitants, who are waiting for Kalki to arrive, and a lab full of fertile women who are pregnant but have a serum removed from their wombs. The movie is essentially a set-up for what's to come; it's full of awkward language, needless humor, and a screenplay that sounds like it was created for a day school event. The first half of the movie is a sleep fest with a half-baked story, but the second half of the movie, especially the second half, is intriguing after the break. Nag Ashwini wrote Kalki in 2898 AD, and he and Sai Madhav Burra wrote the dialogue. Although the blending of a dystopian society with Indian mythology—the Mahabharata—is flawless, the screenplay's execution suffers from the inclusion of needlessly lengthy passages. The story uses Sanskrit terminology and phrases like "watt" in both Hindi and English to convey causation. The dialogue makes me cringe on multiple instances because it is somewhat childish.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              In summary                                                                                                                                                              
See it in theaters if your ticket is less than Rs. 350; it isn't worth spending more than Rs. 1000 on it (plus extra for popcorn, Pepsi, and samosas). It's a good build-up, but now you have to wait for the inevitable. We advise Prabhas fans to see the film in theaters but be careful that the price of the ticket doesn't burn a hole in your wallet.
I hope this review of Kalki 2898 AD aids you in determining whether or not the movie is worth seeing in theaters.
