Kalki 2898 AD (2024) – Honest Review, Cast & OTT Info

Synopsis

Just watched Kalki 2898 AD — and wow, what a massive swing at redefining Indian cinema! This isn’t just a film; it’s a full-blown cinematic universe rooted in mythology but presented with the scale and ambition of top-tier sci-fi epics.

As a movie analyst, I’ve seen my fair share of “high concept” films that promise big and deliver halfway. But this surprised me — in all the right ways.

The visuals are top-notch (arguably the best Indian VFX to date), but what really struck me was how grounded the story remained despite its post-apocalyptic, dystopian setting. There’s emotion, grit, and purpose woven through every character arc.

Prabhas delivers a measured, almost poetic performance — brooding but intense. Amitabh Bachchan’s role hits hard with mythological weight, and Deepika brings raw vulnerability that humanizes this otherwise grand narrative.

The score enhances every high-stakes moment, and while the first act takes its time to build, the second half is relentless and deeply immersive.

It’s rare to see a film that respects both mass appeal and intellectual curiosity — Kalki 2898 AD somehow does both.
