Kalki 2898AD headlined by Prabhas, Amithabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, Disha Patani and many other stars in cameo roles is all set to take an earth-shattering start at the worldwide box office. The film, a Nag Ashwin directional, has generated massive hype after the makers unveiled spectacular content through a huge promotional campaign.
Amidst sky-high expectations and huge anticipation, Kalki 2898AD releasing today in record number of theatres. The first US premiere shows completed just a while ago and the initial reports suggest that Nag Ashwin delivered a scintillating blockbuster with larger-than-life characters and out-of-the-world visuals.
The reports from premiere shows are unanimous and fantastic as moviegoers are spellbound with the way Nag Ashwin blended science fiction and mythology with his stupendous narration. While first half of the film appears to be a decent with a stunning interval block to compensate for slow narration, the terrific second half seals the deal for Kalki 2898AD to emerge as blockbuster.
Nag Ashwin’s ambitious craftsmanship is well propped up by the striking production values and stellar performances by the lead characters. The biggest takeaway for the film seems to be the jaw-dropping action episodes in the second half which covers up for the weak points in the script. The climax episode has been getting a thumping response
Technically, Kalki 2898AD is the best film on Indian screen as the visuals are on par with Hollywood films. Santosh Narayan’s background score is the biggest asset for the film.
Overall, the talk for Kalki 2898AD from early shows is very impressive and matches the hype surrounding a big-ticket film that is releasing after a hiatus of many months. If the same tempo continues for the rest of the day, Kalki 2898AD will rewrite many box office records in the coming days.
