Kalki 2898 AD Review
Kalki 2898 AD Review: A Stunning Visual Journey with Some Hiccups, A world where ancient Indian mythology rubs shoulders with futuristic sci-fi and panoramic grandeur. In the directorial of Nag Ashwin, Kalki 2898 AD takes us to a dystopian future where the tenth avatar of Lord Vishnu, Kalki, is about to be born. That is an offering bringing gods, good, and bad together; let’s dive headlong into this epic journey.
The Plot
The story begins with the end of the Mahabharata war, between Lord Krishna’s curse on Aswathama for immortality. Cut to 2898 AD; there was just one city left: Kasi. It lay in the cruel hands of Commander Manas. This forms the backdrop for the long-awaited birth of Kalki.
A Visual Marvel
The mind-blowing visuals definitely form a superlative in the Kalki 2898 AD. Kasi is brought alive by the cinematography in this movie, where fertile women are killed and men enslaved. Mystery elements, as represented by Complex—helmed by the enigmatic God King Supreme Yaskin essayed by Kamal Haasan, add curiosity to the narrative.
Flaws and Detours
Theatrical in its visuals, this film is not entirely without blemishes. The first half crawls through unwarranted detours and subplots, with a virtually meandering character of Prabhas. The intended moments of humor often fall flat, and the romantic subplot with Roxie, enroleplayed by Disha Patani, seems forcefully fitted. But these flaws are all partially covered under the overwhelming visual display which keeps the viewers in the fairyland of the creation of the movie.
While demanding patience from its audience, *Kalki 2898 AD* is still an audio-visual experience. Let us celebrate the film for its ambition in storytelling and amazing visuals, to yet more coming installments in this high-stretched universe.
