The trailer of Prabhas starrer Kalki 2898 AD was released yesterday to a thumping response from all corners for its unique theme, engaging narrative, worldbuilding, performances, and high technical standards.
As the trailer suggested the movie is set in the backdrop of Indian mythology in the city of Kashi and describes the commencement of a new era (Kali Yuga). The idea of linking past events from Mahabharata to the future set-up to explore the special powers from ancient times adds a layer of excitement to the narrative.
Fans and normal movie buffs are pleased to see Prabhas’ get-up as Bhairava who is a bounty hunter and has a strong purpose in his life. The actor who was criticized for his looks in recent movies is winning appreciation this time for Kalki. He has a tinge of humor in characterization.
Amitabh Bachchan is outstanding as a character which is a bridge between two different eras, while Deepika Padukone is the driving force with such significance to the character. Kamal Haasan’s appearance and portrayal of the character stand out.
Kalki 2898 indorses Nag Ashwin as the premier big-canvas storyteller of his generation, given his extreme care and perfection in every aspect, starting from world-building to costumes to get-ups of actors to visual presentation to VFX. He cruises across time in a visionary sci-fi trip that stirs the head and the heart in equal measure.
Celebrating 50 years of cinematic excellence, Vyjayanthi Movies provided everything that the film of its grand canvas needed. In every nook and cranny, this movie is an experience that Indian cinema never witnessed before.
The production design was exceptional with outstanding support from every technician to transport the audience to a post-apocalyptic world.
Many on social media expressed their amazement over the narrative- saying the visuals are on par with international movies.
The sky is the limit for the expectations on the movie. This trailer is enough to bring audiences across the country to the theatres.
We at greatandhra.com appreciate the efforts put in by Nag Ashwin and his team. Get ready to witness a visual extravaganza on big screens from the 27th of this month.
