Critics Consensus

A colorful spectacle that competes with Hollywood blockbusters while retaining its own distinctive flavor, Kalki 2898 AD marks a rousing breakthrough in Tollywood sci-fi cinema.

Ultimately, for all its wildly entertaining elements, Kalki 2898 AD feels like too much of a good thing, resembling the sort of lavish buffet meal that leaves you feeling overstuffed and exhausted.

[A] wildly uneven mashup of everything from Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis” to Marvel Comics movies, underpinned by elements from the Hindu epic poem “Mahabharata.”

5/10

KALKI 2898 AD is extremely ambitious and at least on this sci-fi scale unique in Indian Cinema. Unfortunately, the storytelling is also rather confusing and lackluster and never able to convey big emotions. Somehow it is always everywhere and nowhere.

Kalki 2898 AD isn’t a film; it’s a proposal for one. It ends not on a cliffhanger, but a call-to-action. It is — and there’s no better way to describe it — the cinematic equivalent of clickbait.

You can tell a lot about a film’s collective smartness with the way it employs its star cameos.

Great attempt, for an Indian movie. And that qualification is why it's 4 stars instead of 5. Typical Hero stuff from Prabhas, but Amitabh and Kamal Hassan are also very good. Bramhandam is too talented to have such a fringe role. Disha Patani also should have had more action scenes.
