Bollywood – The Blur Magazine

Film: Kalki 2898 AD
Director: Nag Ashwin
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, etc
Duration: 181 minutes

‘Kalki 2898 AD’ opens with a gripping tale rooted in Hindu mythology, set in a dystopian future where Lord Vishnu’s tenth avatar is awaited. Director Nag Ashwin crafts a visually stunning world, transporting viewers to the dark city of Kasi, ruled by the evil Commander Manas (Saswata Chatterjee) and the enigmatic God King Supreme Yaskin (Kamal Haasan). The story centers around Bhairava (Prabhas) and his rebels as they rescue SUM80 (Deepika Padukone), who is destined to become the awaited avatar.

While the film suffers from a convoluted plot and unnecessary subplots in the first half, it gains momentum with Amitabh Bachchan’s powerful re-entry as Ashwatthama. Despite some flat comedic attempts and a half-baked love angle, the performances of Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan shine through. The production design by Nitin Zihani Choudhary and the effective background score elevate the film’s immersive experience.

Though not without flaws, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is a visual spectacle that offers an engaging, larger-than-life experience, making it a must-watch for fans of epic mythological tales.
