Kalki 2898 AD Movie Review - Rebel Moon But Not Crap

Kalki 2898 AD Movie Review - Kalki 2898 AD is a new epic sci-fi Indian film. It takes some clear inspiration from Star Wars and Mad Max while infusing its own culture and lore into the story. This has a big scale and a great cast of characters. I give you my spoiler-free thoughts on the film and why it might be worth checking out!

But unlike rebel moon this movie's plot is connected to actual Mahabharata (a 200 thousand verse poem in Hinduism). So it's far more exciting for those that can understand the references. So do yourselves a favor and watch a 5-10 minute videos of what Mahabharat is before watching this movie.

[@LoVeforaRt664]

Mahabharat can't explain in 5 or10 min ,it is world longest poem and it also connect with some ramayan characters like Hanuman and parashuram.

[@LoVeforaRt664]

But for this movie you can just research about asvathama who was warrior in Mahabharata but he was in bad side and at the end of war he kill all five son of pandavs and attack ( daughter in law of arjun) uttra womb. For this krishna give him cruse that he will live till the end of this world in pain and with regrets only when kalki ( tenth avtar of Vishnu) will born and kill demon kali and start new yug satyug his cruse will also gone with this. Hope you understand.

Kalki who is yet to born in the movie, let me tell a bit about him. He is regereed to as the 10 th incarnation of Vishnu, and is prophesied to born in by the end of Kalyug, by the time darkness and negativity will take over the World. 7 Saptarishis or Great Sages will wait for his arrival including Ashwasthhama, the role played here in the movie by Amitabh Bachchan. He is actually a character from Mahabharata and he was cursed by Krishna (8th Avatar of Vishnu) to remain immortal and protect the mother of Kalki in Kalyug (which he is seen doing in the movie).

[@rishabhmenaria7093]

U will enjoy the movie more after learning about the history and mythology of it. It's amazing. For example. The child in the womb who got hit by brahmastra which was activated by ashwathama, obviously the child died but Krishna saved him after cursing ashwathama then the child grow up and became a well known and good king called King parikshit. He was the one who first fought Kali the main villain of this movie he nearly killed him but he begged for his life and he told the king (grandson of Arjuna , the good guy in the past scene with blue lighting bow) Kali told the king about himself and about the prophecy and yuga system. The king spared his life. He gave him a place to live where all sins are there and he gave him gold as a medium to spread his effect. The king warned his people to stay away from sins. That's why u see complex, raiders in the movie with yellow golden emblem engraved with demonic Kali figure.

Not to offend people from US and other countries. Star wars, Lord of the rings Trilogy, Dune are not the original scripts or stories. These movies are based off of books written by people who read other religious scriptures. Dune for instance there's no way anyone can deny saying that it's not based on Islam. Likewise star wars and LOTR is based off of Indian mythology. It's really interesting to know that people out there doesn't seem interested to even look at what other religious scriptures say or talk about and just assuming what they see or hear is the never ever unheard and original stories

I agree. The de-aging vfx was not good at all. It looked like a video game character whenever he spoke and the eyes were ridiculously large looking like a cartoon. They really should have gone with red chillies (Indian vfx company) for that part instead of DNEG. Kalki 2898 AD is the pride of Indian Cinema and Telugu Cinema. One word review: MINDBLOWING. Do not miss it at any cost. 💯💯💯 I hope Kalki surpasses every Indian movie produced so far including RRR and becomes the most successful Indian film. Absolutely mindblowing except some unnecessary cringe masala and cringe comedy with Bhairava in the first half. Kamal Haasan part is pure horror. The way they have imagined landscapes, environments, weapons, vehicles, powers, Mahabharata scenes is truly exceptional and spectacular. My one suggestion to Nag Ashwin is to explore the Complex society and the outside world more in depth because on the surface it looks like everyone is doing well enough even though they are starving for food, water, clean oxygen and they have just stuck some neon signs randomly on Indian alleyways and streets because that's how cyberpunk movies do it. Anyone who says it is merely a copy of Star Wars, Dune, Mad Max, MCU deserve to drink Kali's tears lol. Excited for Kalki 2 more than I ever was for Brahmastra 2. Prabhas and Deepika Padukone are good but Amitabh Bachchan is the MVP. Wow. Disha Patani's part is simply waste. Roxxie could have still been used to show Bhairava the luxuries and abundance of the Complex without that cringe song. Also, unnecessary writing mistakes like superhuman Ashwatthama suddenly not being able to lift Sumathi up should not happen. I wish they would give Shree Krishna better look. No yellow angavastram or armor or jewels or mukut. Just a white cloth and a head band makes him look like a Greek hero. Personally I would have loved to see Shree Krishna blue instead of fair-skinned or dark-skinned because that's how we all grew up watching him in all images. Deserves to be watched atleast twice. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 PS. For non-Indians and Karna (son of Sun God Surya) fans watching this, Karna was not more powerful than Arjuna. Karna is an antagonist and an adharmi in the Mahabharata who was jealous of Arjuna and committed many evil deeds and suffered for his karma and choosing the wrong side against the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Shree Krishna. Period. But he is not a cheeranjeevi (immortal) like Ashwatthama. How has he reborn or reincarnated remains to be seen. Note that according to some, Karna pushing Arjuna's chariot back is a fake story and Ashwatthama surrendered the mani himself.

2:53 These things you mention are only done in a particular genre of indian cinema which is the "mass masala" films. There are other kinds of indian movies as well. Much more grounded, realistic and subtle. Sadly only over the top films make it to america and people think this is all there is to Indian cinema. These slow motion entrances of lead characters are done because these movies do big collection in small towns, villages and single screen theatres where the crowd is rowdy and they go absolutely nuts when their favourite actor comes on screen. Its almost like how fans of wwe expect to see cool entrances of the wrestlers. But its not all there is to Indian cinema. Its quite vast, has multiple genres just like in hollywood and also all Indian movies don't have song and dance sequences.

Just like the christians belief in the return of Jesus christ at the end times, Hindus also has a similar one. For Hindus its the return of Lord Vishnus tenth and final avatar " Kalki ". This movie is directly based on that story. The baby inside Deepika is Kalki, the final incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He will be born to restore order to the dying world. When he accomplishes his task the final cycle which is Kaliyug will be ended and the cycle continues with the starting of Satyayug. So in a way this is a super hero movie with ancient Indian epics element in them. Thats why you see many over the top things.

Great review Adam, just one thing FYI Bollywood is Hindi cinema they call it Bollywood just to copy Hollywood, Telugu cinema never call it Tollywood, we just refer it as Telugu Cinema Industry. i did not look like Rebel Moon to me, its shit, Kaliki reminded me of Bladerunner, Dune and Mad Max but not a copy at all, i could still feel that its an Indian movie that the great thing director did.

[@jayamanoj4277]

This movie is based off of an actual prophecy about the birth of lord Vishnu as 10th and final avtaar before satyug a begins again. While it can be watched in isolation and enjoyed, understanding this requires knowledge of some concepts such as 4 yugas, Lord Vishnus previous avatars as well as prophesied 10th avataar called Kalki, lord Shivas Bhairav avataar and most important of all, the story and characters of Mahabharata. It’s like going to Disneyworld but not being familiar with pirates of carribean or frozen or Peter Pan…you will still enjoy the park, the rides, but it becomes even more fun if you know the stories and then you would enjoy the finer details that may be obvious to those familiar with the concept. Just my 2 cents 🙂

[@hkasina]

To truly enjoy this movie one should be aware of characters of Mahabharata, especially what happened in war of Kurukshetra, without this background it is just a flashy movie, the history is what makes this movie enjoyable and gives goosebumps most of the time. You might have noticed Indians might have rejoiced the history part of the movie more than the modern world. It’s history not mythology. The director can’t change the history, but he took liberty in building a future which again is based on book Kalki-puraan that was written thousands of years ago predicting how and when this current world ends.

Fun Fact: Ashwathama in this movie is an Actual Mahabharata warrior alive today from more than 5100years (since 3140BCE)

Did you see this with Chris and Allen from Filmthreat?

[@johnkebabification]

It always amuses me how KZbinrs recommend politely to watch foreign movies with subtitles to Americans. Like it’s some ultra challenging thing 😂 and yes. watching a foreign movie with dubbing is an unforgivable sin.

[@Facts.Are.Straight]

In the Netherlands we don't know better, than watching American movies with Dutch subtitles. We prefer to hear the original voice

[@gayatri555]

It's a Telugu movie. Most Indians can't see it without dubbing. On top of that They have done the sin of releasing undubbed version without subtitles in north India.

[@cannyfellow8953]

Excellent movie but the only weak link is prabhas acting in first half 😢

[@aguyfromnothere]

Where can we watch this?

[@wa-bu3ke]

In theaters!

[@creativerse6447]

The role played by Prabhaa (the main star actor in the film) is of Bhairava (the past life Karna). Karna was a character of Mahabharata. He was the eldest son of the Pandavas (the side which Krishna, the 8th Avatar of Vishnu took during the Kurukshetra war). He was the son of the Sun God Agni but he was separated from the rest of his brothers at the time of his birth as a result he was in the clan of Kauravas (the other sect whi fought in the war). He was referring to as one of the strongest warrior in the entire mankind and was impossible for anyone to defeat him in direct war. So Krishna advised Arjuna (Karna's Brother in the Pandava side) to shoot an arrow towards him when he would be busy pulling out the wheel of his chariot from the mud.

Naga Ashwin messed up a lot in that scene tbh

[@creativerse6447]

@@Kisna013 we are thinking this because we are still unaware of why Karna came back in the end of Kalyug or what is his purpose. Those things will be cleared after the second part is released.

[@aasamspb967]

@@Kisna013 where did Nag Ashwin messed up. Can you please tell in detail?

[@Kisna013]

@@creativerse6447 According to the original verse, he has no purpose, rather the creator of the story has glorified his character more than necessary . That makes the story kind of cringe tbh

[@Kisna013]

@@aasamspb967 The only thing that pissed me off was the over glorification of Karna's character and adding the illogical idea at the end that Karna can shake the Lord of the Universe from his place. Karna literally lost every single battle against Arjuna, if you read authentic scriptures

Going to go warch it today in london england cant wait i grew up watching amithabh bachan movies hes my all time favourite actor when it comes to bollywood and i keep hearing hes absolutely brilliant in this movie

[@satyasantan855]

Best movie ever made in Indian cinema history 💥💯🔥✅

[@stephenroger4527]

chapri movie and chapri actors.

[@O2H3]

Lol , its great entertainer. But nowhere near top 50 best Indian movie

[@cyborg029.]

Nah it's great but not even in close to best

[@thelegendzz550]

Stupid comment by a person who lacks critical thinking

[@kriz2281]

I think you have seen only this movie

[@wishvakrish3583]

Combining with Indian Mythology is the big asset of this film. Just for a idea, Hector is still alive and he needs to protect the baby like Jesus and protaginist is Achillies reborn but he doesnt know who he is. It is not a proper example but just trying to giving the idea. We know the epicness of those references and thats what made us go crazy.

[@karanmadavi732]

I saw several foreign reviews and no one talking about the Mahabharata scenes. They don't know what they r missing. I myself go to theatre to see how they pull off with those Mahabharat scenes and they just nailed it. Over the expectations ❤

[@screenplay-guy]

Thanks being brutally honest about this movie ...i was thinking the movies gonna be cringeyy by watching the trailer and gladfully it turned out to be ....one and only positive thing is that at least the makers are giving a shot at the sci-fi genre ..at least ...

[@Rurouni_Jayanth]

Great review

[@Sai_2346]

Absolutely love it!

[@kongvue9167]

okay.......I might check it out

[@mr_ai_short_creator_116]

I'm from India🇮🇳

[@adityachaudhary1610]

Why Indians especially those who grew with all Mahabharat and other EPICs been shown will love it, This movie takes plot in future and connect to Hindu History across 6000 years. Indians are proud of culture and Religion and when someone makes a movie that is based on their belief they will like it. Mahabharat is such a written literature that you can create a 10 season show at a scale like of GOT, and if done perfectly it can be biggest hit of all time.

[@grumpyoldwizard]

The books this is based on form a trilogy. If this is good, I hope they make all three.

[@sandeepmehta2244]

Which book?

[@sarazkekule6201]

Mahabharat book

[@ashmitgsnair9253]

Man there is no three part book but this is a loose sequel of Mahabharata ,a long poem which is big as 5 Bibles

[@subhasankarbhattacharya3454]

the movie is based on the Epic Mahabharata and Kalki puran , if you guys read it , it becomes more enjoyable esp Mahabhrat the charecter of Amitabh BACCHAN IS based on it

People in the ancient Era were around 8-9ft tall.

I'm from and I was like 😂 when you said the guy is wearing shoes and music is like aaaaah🤣 agree

[@ankanartworks55]

Bro exellent review!!!! And fantastic job of promoting it to the american audience!!!! Other People from my country should understand not every american is going to know about the ancient hindu scriptures and it is madness to even expect them to know!!!! That's why this is how a movie from other culture should be promoted thank you very much!! Loved the review

[@TheBakuganmaster99]

That title is insane 😂😂

[@creativerse6447]

I would request all the foreigners here who has watched or will watch this movie, because as per predictions this movie might be as popular or even more than RRR. So, I would say imvest a little time to know about Mahabharata, India's greatest epic written 3000 years back. If you get to know the concept and the characters I would guarantee you would like this movie 100x times more because this is nothing but a squel of Mahabharata which is yet to happen in the future. Also to mention, just know a bit about the Indian God Vishnu, the protector and creator of the World. How his 8th Avatar Krishna is shown in the movie and is related to Mahabharata and Kalki (upon whom the name of the movie is taken) the 10th Avatar who is yet to born in the movie (most probably will born in the next part).

[@Mahinegi-ui9cx]

lol no foreigner is here and still you write so large comment, when you guys stop being obsessed with white people 😂😂

[@Mahinegi-ui9cx]

nobody cares stop it 😂😂

[@Cozywhale252]

It makes the experience even better if you know the Indian historical epic "Mahabharat" and the prophecies related to it, cause it has details and plots that are directly taken from it. And the director has said that this a try at making a sequel to the events of "Mahabharat".

[@aguyfromnothere]

I like the part where Prabhas becomes the bad guy just to have a battle between him and ashwathama

[@aishwaryadav3402]

Based on India novel written 5500 years ago

[@realtuber3658]

Movie based on Kalki Puran - It's like Book Of Revelation of Hindus and one another book called Mahabharata the ancient Hindu scripture's some characters are also part of the movie Kalki like Ashwatthama (Amitabh Bachchan) and Karna (Prabhas)

[@jeswinjamesalex5453]

If you know the entire Mahabharatha lore then this movie is for you,without that it would be the same as watching avengers endgame without watching any prequels

[@mrinalsingam6047]

If you know the lore behind the movie, or rather grow up hearing these stories, then you will really connect with it. Its like your childhood heroes come to life in a visual spectacle.

[@sr_rexalworld]

Part of this story that runs as a flashback is one of the oldest written stories in Indian history.

[@SAMxIGRIS]

5:15 yea first half was meh becuz it went from serious to silly to serious to silly.. like meh.. 2nd half🙌😌 and towards end📈it peaked.

[@johnwisdom651]

Aswatthama and Karna are mythological character with immense powers

[@SajetKumar-mn9lr]

For my fellow brothers,ss rajmouli in an interview said that it's his dream to make Mahabharata and all his movies are a kind of preperation in order to make Mahabharata epic...he said it will take him atleast 1 year to reasearch all the Indian Mahabharata versions...so dont worry the goat will maje it in 10 parts ...1000cr movie is also going to be made as next ss rajmouli movie featuring Mahesh babu ,shotting hasn't started yet...
