Kalki 2898 AD FIRST Review Out: The early reviews of Kalki 2898 AD starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan are finally out, and they are overwhelmingly positive. Directed by Nag Ashwin, Kalki 2898 AD revolves around a modern avatar of Lord Vishnu, who has descended on Earth to protect the world from the forces of evil. The first show of Kalki 2898 AD played in a US theatre, and received a thunderous response from the audience, with fans going gaga over Prabhas’ entry scene.

Sharing the review after the premiere, a user wrote on X: “Perfect first half. The visuals and set up is something that has not been seen from Indian cinema which is captivating along with an interesting storyline. However, the screenplay is done in a mostly good way so far. #Prabhas‌ has a fun character but limited screen time.” Another one shared, “Prabhas and Nag Ashwin have made history! You’ll feel it in the first 30 minutes of the film.” “Pre-interval 30 mins of the film is enough to say #KALKI2898AD is not only a hit… It’s sure shot BLOCKBUSTER,” a third user posted on X.

An international film journalist shared his review on X and wrote, “KALKI 2898 AD was outstanding! A visually magnificent sci-fi experience. It had a little bit of ‘Blade Runner’ & ‘Mad Max’ in there as well. The Prabhas VS Amitabh Bachchan fight scene was epic. And Deepika & Disha were so gorgeous, they made my head spin.”

Kalki 2898 AD has already sold over 19 lakh tickets across all languages in India. The film is likely to shatter multiple records at the box office as film trade experts are predicting Rs 100 crore-plus net opening for the movie at the domestic box office. It may cross Rs 200 crore mark globally.

As per a report in Sacnilk.com, Kalki 2898 AD has sold over 15 lakh tickets in Telugu language alone. The film has already earned over Rs 50 crore via the massive advance bookings.
