In “Kalki 2898 AD,” a visionary project by director Nag Ashwin, boasting a stellar ensemble including Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Prabhas, and Kamal Haasan, we witness a formidable fusion of high-end production techniques and sophisticated storytelling that transcends traditional cinematic experiences.
Esteemed within the industry, the film has received accolades from a spectrum of veteran actors such as Ranveer Singh, Rajinikanth, and Allu Arjun, underscoring its industry-wide impact.
Ranveer Singh Review
Ranveer Singh, engaging with his audience via social media, heralded the film as a ‘grand cinematic spectacle,’ praising its technical prowess and the directorial finesse of Nag Ashwin.
He articulated his admiration for the film’s narrative depth and the compelling performances, especially highlighting Prabhas’ portrayal as ‘Rebel Star Rocks’.
This narrative complexity and the ambitious scope of the film’s production have evidently resonated at the box office, with “Kalki 2898 AD” quickly amassing over 500 crore rupees in its opening weekend alone, and continuing its strong performance by breaching the 600 crore mark subsequently.
Inspiration from Mahabharata
Set millennia into the future, the film explores a dystopian earth grappling with existential crises—scarcity of oxygen and food—casting a spotlight on humanity’s last bastion, ‘The Complex’.
This setting, inspired by the epic Mahabharata, adds layers of narrative depth, setting the stage for a sequel that’s eagerly anticipated by audiences and industry insiders alike.
