Kalki 2898 AD movie review

Kalki 2898 AD story

Set in the year 2898 AD and in the city of Kashi, Supreme Yaskin (Kamal Haasan) is a powerful force that runs the world of COMPLEX. His only aim is to find a fertile woman so that he can extract serum from her womb and become the world's strongest man. On the other hand, Bhairava (Prabhas) is a bounty hunter who wants to enter COMPLEX to lead a happy life. After testing thousands of women, Yaksin picks Sumati (Deepika Padukone), who is the perfect match to extract the serum. 

But Sumati is freed from the clutches of Yaskin's men by the people of Shambhala. At the same time, Ashwathama (Amitabh Bachchan) enters COMPLEX to save Sumati. Does he save her? What is Bhairava's role in Ashwathama's mission, and how is the Kalki universe connected to the Mahabharata? To know the answers, you need to watch the film on the big screen.

Kalki 2898 AD review

The first thing that catches your imagination in Kalki 2898 AD is the sheer scale of the film and mind-blowing visuals. Kudos to director Nag Ashwin for taking Indian cinema to the next level with Kalki. The way he has created a new world is jaw-dropping; he takes you on a ride filled with action-packed thrills and larger-than-life characters. With a runtime of just above 3 hours, Kalki has the biggest stars and cameos by famous heroes who will thrill you at regular intervals.

The story is vast and has multiple layers, but Nag Ashwin narrates the film in a very detailed manner. That is the reason Kalki feels a bit lengthy, especially in the first half. There are some characters who could have been edited out. For instance, Disha Patani's role and the song in the first half could have been completely avoided. But Nag Ashwin scores with the fantastic production design. The gadgets used, the VFX, and the costume design—everything looks top-notch.

The manner in which the character of Kamal Haasan is introduced and the visuals shown are mind-blowing. The moment Prabhas enters the scene, things go to the next level. But sadly, Nag Ashwin has showcased Prabhas in a humorous manner. This aspect is stretched way too much and there is nothing much Prabhas can do here. But fans will be satisfied as Nag Ashwin saves the best for him in the second half and ends the film on a high.

Kalki 2898 AD has a strong connection to the Mahabharata, and the manner in which Nag Ashwin interlinks the past and the future is superb. The first 30 minutes of the film are quite engaging. Kalki 2898 AD has an exceptional second half. The action-packed episodes are executed in a solid manner, leaving us asking for more. The Mahabharata scenes and the cameos of stars are nicely induced in the narrative.

Nag Ashwin sets up a perfect tone for the sequel and also announces the Kalki cinematic universe in a solid manner in the climax. Having said this, the first half of the film is a bit slow. The makers should have chopped at least 10 minutes off. A fight featuring Prabhas is dragged out way too much. Deepika Padukone gets the meaty role of a pregnant subject, and she does a good job.

However, if you think Kalki 2898 AD is a Prabhas film, you will be mistaken. It is Amitabh Bachchan's show all the way, as he has a decisive role, more screen time, and solid action episodes that only build up the intensity of the proceedings. Even at his age, Amitabh Bachchan does the action sequences superbly and is showcased in a solid manner in the film.

Prabhas is excellent in the film and evokes good laughs. The elevation episodes showcased for him in the second half are quite good. Disha Patani's role is silly, but Shobhana is neat in her essential character. Anna Ben gets a super cool action episode along with Pasupathy, and the duo is terrific.

Kalki 2898 AD falls a bit short when it comes to drama. The emotions are decent but not arresting. If more emphasis was put on the emotional aspect, Kalki 2898 AD would have made a lot of difference. Nag Ashwin had a lot of scope to elevate fan moments, but he failed to elevate the proceedings with a gripping screenplay.

Djordje Stojiljkovic’s cinematography is outstanding, and the amazing VFX only enhances it. The futuristic world created in the film takes the production design to a whole new level. For an Indian film, Kalki 2898 AD is the best when it comes to visuals and VFX. The songs composed by Santhosh Narayanan are not that great, but his background score is very good.

The dialogues are cool, and the conversations between Prabhas and his car, whose voice has been given by Keerthy Suresh, are amazing. In a way, Kalki 2898 AD is visually stunning, but drama-wise, it could have been a lot better. But all the tiny complaints the fans have are covered with a stunning climax and amazing action episodes.

Kalki 2898 AD has been made on a huge budget, and every penny spent is shown on screen. Barring the slow pace, the film's multi-star cast and stylish making will go down well with the audience, and the film will surely break new records at the box office.

Kalki 2898 AD verdict

On the whole, Kalki 2898 AD is a technically brilliant film with never-before-seen visuals in an Indian film. The presence of A-listers and amazing action episodes make for a big-screen watch. Just ignore the slow pace.

If this is not divine intervention… we dont know what is. We are both truly blessed to have each other and so much love protecting us.”

Nagarjuna meets differently abled fan pushed by bodyguard at airport, gives him a hug: ‘not your fault’

 Nagarjuna was in the news recently for the wrong reasons - his bodyguard got a little too enthusiastic while pushing a differently abled fan out of the way in Mumbai. After apologising for the incident on X (formerly Twitter) he met the fan at the airport, hugged him and spoke to him about the incident. 

Nagarjuna meets fan

In a video shared by a paparazzi photographer, Nagarjuna can be seen posing for clicks at the Mumbai airport with fans. When he poses for a click with a fan, the photographers pointed out that this was the man his photographer had shoved, emphasising that it was for no fault of his own. After clicking pictures with other fans, Nagarjuna interacted with the fan again. After hugging him, he assured him, “It’s not your fault, tumhara galti nahi hain,” before heading inside.

The incident

Recently, paparazzi photographer Viral Bhayani shared a video on social media questioning, “Where has humanity gone?” In the video, Nagarjuna can be seen walking through the airport as his bodyguards keep fans from touching him. One fan was shoved away so fast, he almost lost his balance and fell. Nagarjuna claimed to have not seen the incident when it happened, writing, “This just came to my notice…this shouldn’t have happened!! I apologise to the gentleman and will take necessary precautions that it will not happen in the future!!”

Upcoming work

Nagarjuna is shooting for Sekhar Kammula’s Kubera with Dhanush, Rashmika Mandanna and Jim Sarbh. The film’s team recently shot a schedule in Mumbai. Kubera is a bi-lingual film but it’ll mark Dhanush’s debut in Telugu. Nagarjuna’s first look from the film was released in May. Dressed in a blue shirt, dark trousers and sporting glasses, the actor exuded a calm, disquieting menace.

Indian 2 trailer review – kamal haasan stuns in the over-stuffed glimpse of shankar’s film

The long-awaited Indian 2 trailer has been released on social media. The highly anticipated trailer gives glimpses of the second installment in Kamal Haasan and director S Shankar’s celebrated franchise. As expected, the legendary actor has stunned in the multiple avatars of his character Veerasekhara Senapathy aka Indian. While Siddharth impresses as a determined youngster, the presence of late actors Vivek, Nedumudi Venu, and Manobala, have left the cine-goers emotional.

Indian 2 trailer review – Kamal Haasan stuns in multiple avatars

The Indian 2 trailer which is not going viral on social media promises a power-packed social thriller. However, the over-stuffed trailer of Shankar’s ambitious project fails to create the expected impact. Kamal Haasan, the leading man is introduced in a larger-than-life style, just like all previous Shankar movie heroes. The Ulaganayagan stuns in the multiple avatars of Indian Thatha and reminds us why he is considered one of the finest actors Indian cinema has ever produced, with his impeccable screen presence and voice modulation.

The Indian 2 trailer also suggests that the movie is going to be a visual treat for Tamil cinema audiences. The intro sequences of the leading man and his massive fight sequence with the bodybuilders are the best parts of the trailer. Unlike the highly criticized Indian 2 intro video, music composer Anirudh Ravichander has done a good job with an effective background score for the 2.37-minute-long trailer. However, the trailer turns messy and over-stuffed when it focuses on the rest of the characters including the second protagonist, played by Siddharth. 

Along with Siddharth, the Indian 2 trailer introduces the film's long list of supporting characters who make blink-and-miss appearances. Even though the trailer tries to be sleek and stylish for most of its part, the underwhelming, borderline preachy dialogues, silliness in the staging, and melodrama play big spoilsport. The character played by SJ Suryah, who is introduced much later in the trailer, poses as the perfect larger-than-life villain. However, the presence of Kamal Haasan, stunning visuals, and production design suggest that the Tamil cinema audience is in for a visual treat.

karan johar to return with koffee with karan season 9 in 2025

Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee with Karan remains a fan favourite, and the filmmaker has added to the excitement by confirming the return of the show with a fresh new season. In a recent interview, he said that the show will be back with more fun and candour in 2025. 

The eighth season of the chat show was released last year with actors Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone as the first guests on the show.

On return of the show

In an interview with Sucharita Tyagi, the filmmaker was asked about his plans to return with the next season of the show. To which, Karan said that they want to take a year off and they'll be back in 2025.

He went on to reveal that he wants to be back with a new syntax, considering the feedback that he got last year was that the show had the most “boring rapid fire”.

“I was like, ‘why am I even doing this?’ You're not giving me questions. Should we just drop the rapid fire, and I will take the hamper because no one really deserves to win it. Now, I am like let's change the world of Koffee with Karan with the ninth season. And it will be back with all the fun and the chattiness,” he shared.

In the interview, Karan also mentioned that there are times when celebrities are too scared to open up, and don’t say anything like the way they used to. He brings back the example of the frankness with which celebrities such as Mahesh Bhatt used to bring to the show in the past.

“With the way Bhatt sahab is, he will still give me such answers. But I think I would get into trouble. Like, you called him, and you got these answers. Why didn't you edit?” Karan jokes.

About the last season

Last year, Koffee With Karan season 8 began with Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone as the first guests on the couch. Some of the other guests were Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and Sharmila Tagore, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, Rani Mukerji and Kajol, Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday, Janhvi Kapoor and Kushi Kapoor.

They captioned their post by writing that, in one another's eyes, they witnessed love at its most innocent on this exact day, June 23, 2017, and they chose to cling to it. They are now husband and wife, blessed by their families and gods alike, for love has led them through the trials and tribulations that have preceded them. Until the end of time, they look forward to sharing a future filled with love, hope, and beauty.

The planned wedding of Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal has been the subject of considerable curiosity. The groom's father confirmed to the Free Press Journal on Friday that there will be no religious ceremony at the wedding. He added that the wedding will be a civil ceremony, not observing any Hindu or Muslim ceremonies.

Reportedly, the couple complied with the Special Marriage Act, 1954, which mandates a one-month notice to the marriage registrar, so the ceremony can proceed as planned. Ratansi has granted permission to hold the ceremony at his Bandra home on Carter Road. In order to complete the legal procedures, the Special Marriage Act permits the registrar to transport the marriage register to a location of the couple's choosing.

Ratansi denied rumours that Sonakshi had converted to Islam in response. One thing is certain: she is not converting. According to him, religion plays no part in their union because it is a union of hearts. He has faith in people, and Hindus refer to God as Bhagwan, while Muslims name him Allah. They may have differences, but they are all just people. Zaheer and Sonakshi are in his prayers.

Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam Sinha, Sonakshi's parents, have reportedly reconciled with the marriage after rumours of a spat within the family. The veteran actor recently revealed that he learned about the upcoming marriage from the media but had no idea it was happening. He noted that, in contrast to the past, parents do not have any say in their children's life partner selection; instead, kids merely "inform" them about their wedding.

However, Sonakshi's parents were part of the pre-wedding ceremony, which has been taking place for the past few days.
