Critic Reviews

Short review 4 min read English Kalki 2898 AD

Kalki 2898 AD (2024) Review: Mahabharata Meets Mad Max

Kalki 2898 AD is Nag Ashwin's Telugu sci-fi epic fusing Mahabharata myth with a dystopian future, dazzling in scale and Amitabh Bachchan's presence but uneven in tone.

Yes, with reservations. Its ambition, visuals and powerful second half reward fans of Indian spectacle, but a slow, jokey first half makes the three hours a test.
