Allu Arjun Calls Deepika Padukone ‘Stunning’, Amitabh Bachchan ‘Inspiration’ As He Reviews Kalki 2898 AD
Allu Arjun watched Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD and is all praise for it. Taking to his Instagram Stories, he wrote a note on the film and the performances. The film has managed to perform well on the second day of its theatrical debut despite being a midweek non-holiday release. The Nag Ashwin directorial successfully crossed the Rs 50 crore mark on Friday.
Allu Arjun wrote, “Kudos to #Kalki2898AD team for an outstanding visual spectacle! Respect for my dear friend Prabhas garu for empowering this epic, entertaining super heroic presence. Amitabh Bachchan Ji, you are truly inspirational… no words. Adulation to our Kamal Haasan sir; looking forward to more in the next. Dear Deepika Padukone, you are effortlessly stunning. Disha Patani, attractive presence, dear. Compliments to all the artists and the technical crew, especially in cinematography, art, costumes, edit, and makeup. All praises to Vyjayanthi Movies & Ashwini Dutt garu, Swapna Dutt, Priyanka Dutt for taking the risk and raising the bar of Indian cinema. And the captain Nag Ashwin garu has left every single movie lover in awe. Commendation to a path-breaking filmmaker of our generation. At last, a film with our cultural sensibilities from India that matches the standard of global visual spectacles.”
News18 Showsha rated the film 4/5 and was all praise for Amitabh Bachchan and Prabhas’ performances in the film. Our reviewer said, “Kalki is an out-and-out Amitabh film. Even though we see very little of him in the first half, the actor’s screen time increases in the second half. The intensity with which he delivers his dialogues is worth praising. Prabhas’ Bhairava and Bujji add an element of humour to Kalki 2898 AD. Even though Prabhas’ action sequences in the first half lack energy, he stuns all with his fierce avatar in the second half of the film. His face-off with Amitabh surely deserves a special mention and is one of the major highlights of the film.”
