Kalki 2898 AD Movie Review: Amitabh Bachchan stands tall among the cast

- Gopu Kishen Prabhas’ most anticipated sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD has made its way to the theatres. The movie attempts to blend Indian mythology with post-apocalyptic science fiction. While this concept is novel for Indian cinema, the story and world lack originality, seeming heavily influenced by numerous Hollywood films, including Star Wars, Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, and Mad Max. The film opens with a sequence from the Mahabharata which, despite questionable de-aging technology, serves as a good introduction to the world of Kalki. The first half is a mixed bag, including Prabhas's introduction, which drags and limps with unnecessary and poor dialogue. There are entire sequences and out-of-place songs that neither advance the plot nor develop characters. The background score feels bland and lacks impact. Prabhas, who looks better than in his recent outings, receives limited screen time in this half, but his mannerisms and dialogue feel forced and cringewort...
