Kalki 2898 AD: The Mahabharata Tribute | Spoiler Talk | Top 10 Things Right & Wrong With Kalki

I guess Bhairava interrupting roxie from doing the maintenance work in the complex is what led to power interruption during SUM-80's procedure eventually... And I am pretty sure that roxie will be back in part 2 and I Hope that Dulqer will get his own Spinoff movie which in itself is a very interesting character

And the way Yaskin was shown in the post credits resembled Bramha cos Kali was infact born as a result of Bramha’s deep Yoga which he did to remove all the negativity out of his body.

Geez, i can't wait for the movie

[@dhirenpatel3797]

Just wanted to point one thing out, Karna was trained by Bhagwan Parshurama. Potentially, they can show DQ Salman’s character as Parshurama and then both Bhairava and Captain will train Kalki. ( As in scriptures, there is a mention of Parshurama training Kalki for battle) And there is one more theory as well. Yaskin (Kamal Hasan’s character) is actually in need of that serum to become Kalki him self. He wants to be god like figure as you can see in initial shots of Yaskin that he sits in Dhyan Mudra so that made me think that Yaskin him self wants to be god but while trying to be Kalki, he actually became Kali by doing all the bad stuff.

[@TriedRefusedProductions]

I genuinely wished they presented Dulquer in a more grand fashion. Like an able warrior. It was so unassuming. You might be right about Kamal Haasan

[@dhirenpatel3797]

@@TriedRefusedProductions Yess exactly! But they haven’t shown what happened to DQ’s character after he went to complex. Maybe Yaskin (Kamal Hasan’s character) realized that DQ is one of the cheeranjivis and kept him in one of the chamber he has right next to him after taking his powers! Who knows?

[@dhirenpatel3797]

And to add more to this theory, you can see those 5 floating ball like structures around Yaskin that can be energy of 5 Cheeranjivis. And left 2 are Parshurama (maybe DQ’s character transferred his powers in Karna aka Bhairava) and Ashwatthama’s Shivamani is last two things/energies he needs!

I loved how there were parallels from not just Mahabharat but also from Ramayan. This could be me reading too much into it, but the battle between Amitabh Bachan and Prabahs where he looks like Amitabh Bachan, reminded me of Vali and Sugreev's battle. The redemption curves provided to both Ashwathama and Karna are out of this world. The fact that Ashwathama will only get salvation when he saves a child and Prabhas "turns into" Karna when Deepika is dragged like Draupadi was gave me chills! Can't wait for the next one!

[@sayaneemaaneetgupta]

If only they removed unnecessary characters, song sequences and comedy scenes of the first half, this movie would have been a perfect 10/10 movie. Anyways, the second half, especially the last 45 minutes was sheer magic. I kind of predicted who Prabhas is in the scene before intermission where he stopped the wheel from falling. And when Aswatthama told he is using Vijaya as the walking stick I knew who Vairava is. Ohh how I loved the revelation scene. Can't wait for the second installment of this cinematic universe. Only thing I want the makers to give Karna a happy ending in this birth. No more tragedy for this man please 😊

Someone who has read Mahabharata in great depth critically, I can’t wait to watch the movie. I literally gave a Mahabharata briefing to my family before booking the tickets. Excited to watch the movie because the references were on point in the trailer.

Here is my theory for a few characters. 1. Captain who raised a young Bhairava like his son would not sell him for units. There might be another reason which director might reveal in the sequel. 2. Mariam might have survived because Manas stabbed her near her shoulder. 3. Lilly the undercover agent who helped Sumathi might have got captured by Yaskin soldiers. 4. They might show backstory of Yaskin in the sequel. Nag Ashwin's version of Mahabharat is little different from Vyasa's Mahabharat.

[@AMyNag]

Why did Ashwatthama not recognize Karna when he sees Prabhas' character? I didn't realize when I saw the movie but hit me later... Would think he might forget a face in 6000 years, but seems he remembers Arjuna's face well enough! Maybe should've kept everyone in the shadows or, even better - have Karna be played by another actor, and Ashwatthama only recognizing the spirit of Karna in Bhairava at the last minute. Ideally when the spirit of Karna inside Bhairava asks did I arrive late. OK, I even gave them a way to retcon this! 😂😂

[@adityamohan1773]

There was an Easter egg regarding Bhairavs Armor. It has a sun insignia in the middle of the chest. There were many such small hints but truly the world building was the weakest point of this movie. Its world is full of continuity and logic holes. But regarding the death of Rumi and character played Mrunal Thakur, I believe they signify death of knowledge and faith. Rumi had a lot of knowledge and mrunal was ready to die for a good cause, faith. They were atleast mildly impactful. Kaira's death didn't have to come so soon. She was an interesting character. Also it looks like Shambala hasn't just become a last abode for erstwhile Hindus but also Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians and Muslims. The matriarch is called Mariam. We see some Khalsa elders. We see many tibetian Buddhist children.

[@sanidhyadevgupta6452]

The only criticism of the move for me is the intro of prabhas as the tone is like a Marvel movie but without any character work. The move is really good when it takes itself seriously as it's meant to be a serious movie. I noticed how when in the second half prabhas switches to bahubali mode his acting and screen presence is really good and fits perfectly with the overall narrative. The creators have to let go of thinking prabhas as a superstar and direct his role as bhairava and only him. I hope his character development is carried forward if there is a sequel.

Bringing Karna into the equation was the most brilliant decision Nagi has made in this film... I don't know this is the same train of thoughts he followed but the way I see it is... Before the war Krishna and Karna had a conversation where krishna tries to bring him to the Pandava camp but Karna refuses.. Then he says to Krishna that he knows that the Pamdavas are going to win the war.. He says if f he survives the war he hopes he and Krishna become friends for life and if he doesn't better so in the next life to which Krishna agrees and embraces him.... So supposed this is the rebirth where Karna (as usual) is on the wrong side but this time he will have his redemption and join the right side..

[@pabbas3378]

A lot of ppl who know Mahabharatha but still missed this reference at the beginning of the movie - "Ashwatthama hathaha ... kunjaraha (whisper) ". This is a ploy played by Pandavas to kill Drona, the father of Ashwathama and the teacher of Arjuna. They name an elephant with his son's name and kill it on the battlefield (you can notice a dead elephant on battlefield when this phrase comes in the intro) and say "Ashwatthama is dead" for Dhronacharya to hear, and "kunjaraha (elephant)" slowly so that they can deceive him on the battlefield to think his son was dead (and technically not telling a lie since Ashwathama the elephant is actually dead). This makes it easier for them to kill Drona since he is distraught because he thinks his son is dead, and gets distracted in the battlefield. Many such underhanded tactics are played by both sides in Kurushketra war which is the reason why it is said that this war marks the beginning of Kali Yuga - the age where ppl start losing their moral compass, become selfish and less intelligent.

Bro you forgot the important thing if you read Mahabharat you can observe the selfishness of Karna due to his obsession to overpower Arjuna , Karna is selfless person in personal but his obsession over to become greater than Arjuna makes him selfish and make him to go to any extent (like joining hands with duryodhana) without understanding the consequences

[@SaljiAbraham]

I do not think it was 'selfishness' that caused his obsession with overpowering Arjun, but the repeated unfairness he had to suffer due to his underprivileged birth and upbringing compared to Arjun's privilege. And he joined the Kauravas cause of his debt to Dhuryodhana who has shown him a bit of humanity/kindness/favour when he was getting publically humiliated and he stayed on that side till the end due to that gratitude even when he knew about his brothers being on the other side and that Kauravas would prolly fail the war. If he was selfish he could have joined the Pandavas, tell them the truth, claimed the elder brother position, get Droupadi, and the right to rule after they win, yet he did not.

[@vanditahegde2997]

Karna was never selfless. He was selfish. But that is understandable given the circumstances he had to face. He wanted the fame, he wanted to be acknowledged for his talent, he wanted to prove himself as the greatest of them all. Only the tv shows and movies showed him as selfless, but that is not the reality in Vyasa Mahabharata. I could guess the very moment when that chakra of the chariot fell and Bhairava held it single handedly, that he is the reincarnation of Karnataka, as he was already established as a selfish character. Nonetheless, Nagi is a genius to include such minute links from the Mahabharata and the Kalki Purana. Hat's off.

Bro I have a suggestion about the subplot of roxie. So instead of roxie taking bhairava to the complex and they exploring it together, the creators could've shown that people can rent a virtual tour of the complex for x number of units. And bhairava is mesmerised by the places he sees in the virtual tour and feels (with hi-tech gloves). In this way there is no need to introduce roxie and the subplot can be avoided totally.

The "TaTakkara" song and the entire Complex sequence are visually grand separately. But the song, dance and Disha’s subplot, kind of, changed the tone and the mood of the film. Being a dystopian film, I wanted this film’s temper to be constantly tense, sombre, and stirring throughout the first half. Because that’s when the viewer’s heart would “root for” Kasi’s people, Deepika’s destiny and the overall societal change; and also feel the tragedy of the dystopia, thus the viewer would yearn for the advent of Kalki and Bhairava’s shift towards his virtue. It felt as if Nag Ashwin had already decided the film’s pre-interval sequence with Deepika and Kalki’s escape from the Complex. Before that, he just wanted to stretch the movie out for almost one and a half hours until the interval (which he already decided) arrived in the middle of the film. Nag Ashwin could have focused more on Complex’s atrocities, Bhairava’s motives, Kashi’s world, Yaskin’s malice, and Sumathi and other women’s adversities in the Complex; or maybe, more detail about the Project-K instead of Bhairava’s love interest, Roxie’s subplot of getting a job in the Complex, their banter, and the dance number. Because when the viewer starts rooting for a ‘shift’ in Kasi and its people’s fate, the subplot of Roxie & Bhairava kind of snatches that “avidity” suddenly. And the viewer’s mind gets relaxed for a significant time and no longer emotionally engages with Kasi’s state and Complex’s purpose. That would have made the film’s first half more intense, gripping, thrilling and acute. This would result in viewers’ desperation for Ashwatthama’s arrival in the rescue of Sumathi, and Bhairava’s prevalence of entering the Complex.

Arjuna is stronger than Karna, period. Many ppl are using the stories from Mahabharata that were added in just last century to make Karna's character commercially viable for audience to make content.

Well it's the Arjun who is the strongest has won every battle participated in . I would love to see the compilation ( or any extra footage) related to Mahabharat in this movie . Some things that I noted while watching this movie is 1. All the religion included or shown have their roots in India be it Hinduism , Sikhism , Buddhism . 2. The Height of Ashvthamma is relevant since he is from Dwapar Yug where the average height of humans was far more compared to present day. 3. It may be my guess but the tree shown in Shambala could be Peepal Tree ( the one which holds the Brahma , Vishnu , Mahesh in it ) so that sequence of leaf coming to Bhairava arm may be due to influence of Vishnu to protect Kalki from Supreme Yaskin .

Arjuna was most definitely the strongest! He literally saved Duryodhana and his pompous party from the Gandharva Chitrasena! Duryodhana decided to go on a Ghoshayatra to show off his immense wealth after he defeated the Pandavas in the dice game fraudulently! Arjuna obeyed Yudhishthira's orders and saved Duryodhana. On the other hand Karna (who is God knows why considered to be a tragic hero) ran away because he was no match for the Gandharvas!

[@theincarnatedsoul1202]

While I respect Karn in every sese and having read the Mahabharta by Maharishi ved vyas (Gita press) what a lot of people forget that Arjuna in the war of Virat with Uttar as his Saarthi stopped the entire Kauravas alone he even defeated Bhishm pitamah and Karn in the combat of the war. Karn was without a shadow of a doubt a great warrior but at the same time right from their first face off till the donation of his kavach and kundal karn has used them to get away from several attacks by Arjun. Of course these are just my thoughts but the power of Arjun I feel has been subsidised in all the new renditions of mahabharat as well as the sequences of this movie. Don't forget the fact that Arjun possessed the pashupatastra which he obtained after a tough and intense worship of lord shiva even the greats such as bhishma and karn were never able to get hold of it. While a lot of karn's deeds are praisable but he was the one who initially called draupadi a vashya in the court and his ego because of his kavach and kundal was always sky high till the virat war. For me, it was Arjun who was far more superior in the knowledge of astra and even shahstra as well as a superior warrior.

[@Blockoffice-ru4fs]

You're forgetting that lord hanuman was present in the chariot of arjun during virat war. No astras were able to damage arjun's chariot due to the presence of lord hanuman. Also you're forgetting karna wasn't using his Vijaya dhanush. Karna countered arjun's bhramastra with normal arrows also karna had bhargvastra which couldn't be countered.

[@theincarnatedsoul1202]

@@Blockoffice-ru4fs karna used vijay dhanush on 17th day of the war when it was him vs Arjun. Karn had immense knowledge no denying neither can one deny him being one of the greats talking about brhamastra karn was not able to counter it completely as Arjun's brhamastra surrounded his chariot completely killing many army men and the Astra was later called back by Arjun. Both Arjun and karn countered many Astras of each other. Even if I leave the Kurukshetra war then in the war of Virat karn was made unconscious by Arjun in their second duel while in the first also karn took step back after facing defeat. Ps: in no way am I saying that karn wasn't powerful enough but Arjun with an ordinary chariot defeated the army of kauravas in the war of Virat. The capabilities of Arjun has been shown limited and someone who's very overconfident of his knowledge which wasn't the truth. Arjun was one of the most humble and respectful person when it comes to learning something and respecting the capabilities of others. The modern renditions Have shown him overconfident and arrogant at best

My guess - Bujji and not Bhairava is working for the evil Yaskin. It is Bujji who shapes Bhairava's thoughts and values. Bujji is the one who distracts Bhairava when he is about to discover himself. Bujji's origins also explain - it was an AI engine found in the trash by Bhairava - why was it tracked? I am all convinced that Bujji is working for evil.

I have two questions that are unanswered with this film, 1. How Karna is related to Kalki? Is there any evidence or literature around that? 2. If Deepika is Sumati who will be the mother of Kalki but puranas also mentioned about his father being Vishnuyashas but we saw Deepika being implanted with the artificial seed, then how come Nag Ashwin will justify that? Or what they are currently protecting is not god? May be Deepika has powers but she is not aware of it?

[@aravinthnagarajan9167]

Kamal Hassan -Yaskin with a very limited screen time he laid out the purpose of his dictatorship and sent chills down my spine when he used his tears to kill the scientist, just the duality of feeling bad for what humans have done with the world and the will to be the bad guy to do whatever it takes to save the rest of it was shown there. The ending scene had a demonic screen presence showed us what Yaskin thinks of himself as he levitates carrying the god's bow with his nanobot orb things taking the shape of extra arms just like how the Hindu gods are represented. And the voice over (i watched in tamil) when he repeats this dialogue as a chant for 3 times, "boomiyai naan adhira veippen" (i will shake this world) i really believed he was one villain who could shake and reshape the world. Kamal Hassan as villain is just cinema at its peak. Im willing to sit through that poor first half just so that i can witness the war portions, Amitabh ji's performance and Kamal hassan ascending as a god.

If you read the authentic text, then Krishna and Pandavas were themselves not much just than their enemies. Even Kunti doesn't consider the lives of the low-caste family, as they are "lesser beings". So, we should be contend by the sanitized versions we watch today. Thus letting Karna be a hero is safe game.

My Review : As a Telugu, I was tired of fake reviews filled on the internet, so I decided to write a real one myself. In Toronto , the Telugu version was Sold out so I watched the movie at a cineplex in Hindi. Here are my thoughts. First Half - Storytelling was boring, editing looked wayward and less than average. Music or songs did not make any sense. Cameos were jarring and did not help the story- It looked like director was wasting money because he could. Sets looked more like theatre sets of a drama on the big Cineplex screen. VFX looked basic, story or emotions seemed forced. I could not connect with anything going on the screen. The song with Disha Patani was really bad. Bhramanandam character comedy was sadly lost in translation, I love Bhramanandam and enjoyed his time on the screen, but this where I don't understand as to why Nag Ashwin had to put in Telugu movie formula cheesy stuff when he was doing a seriously big movie. Second Half- Things started getting better when Amitabh was on the screen, his larger than life persona and interplay with Prabhas was really the highlight of the movie. The Mahabharatha scenes looked beautiful but animating younger Amitabh took away the impact. Vijay deverkonda looked laughable as Arjun. The best scenes were that of Kamal Hassan - the Kali scene at the very end was SPECTACULAR. I think I went into the movie expecting the impact of Kali scene throughout but was disappointed. Deepika was decent as woman in distress , Shobhana looked beautiful but limited. Character Kyra was really refreshing while star wars type fights were boring. Please do something about the guns they looked like plastic toys. Harsh looked like a lost kid in a big movie. Pasupatti, Rajendra Prasad hardly had any impact. Mrunal Thakur looked gorgeous in her 3 mins. Also the major character reveal was spoilt by some foreshadowing. The world building and futuristic stuff was alright but looked majorly borrowed from star wars. Complex elevator and Transforming Car were some praiseworthy aspects. Frankly I went in expecting RRR or Bahubali type impact but what I got was more Bhairava Dweepam. Please do better in episode 2. Rewatch first half to learn what not to do again.

[@_ManojMadhavan]

I wish Kalki 2 focused more on the Kurukshetra war and the character arcs of Karna and Ashwatthama, rather than the futuristic city we've already seen countless times in Hollywood movies. The glimpses of the past shown in the movie are the scenes that give you goosebumps. I really want to see Nag Ashwin's take on the Kurukshetra war on the big screen. The few visuals already provided are a guarantee that he is more than capable of doing it in India.
