I truly love this one please Anna @nagashwin7 mahabhartham theyyu please arjunudu ga #vijaydevarkonda ni mathram Deggaraku raaniku pic.twitter.com/R6wXnIbuY3
Calling the screenplay the main hero of the film, viewers appreciated Nag Ashwin for building an Avenger-like universe through the combination of Mahabharata and a dystopian world. One user commented, "#Kalki — Good concept by @nagashwin7. Grand visuals & CG work. Visually and in terms of filmmaking, it's top-notch for an Indian film. Starting, interval, climax & second half lead SUPERB. Decent first half followed by a better second half. Big B!! Good performances by Prabhas, Deepika, and Shobhana. Kamal Haasan's character arc is promising and likely to be explored further in sequels."
However, some users, mostly Rebel Star Prabhas’ fans, were disappointed with his limited screen time and expressed their disappointment at the makers for not hyping up his character. Many early reviews indicate that the film is focused more on the narrative and not on building hype around Prabhas’ character.

An okayish first-half following by a strong, engaging second half with a goosebumps climax 🔥.
All performances were very good and fight scenes were super fun. VFX in many places, excellent. Bit boring in first half though!
Rating: 3.5-3.75/5#KalkiReview

It is not prabhas movie
It is directors movie simply Nag Ashwin’s movie
Note: Amitabh is greater than prabhas in Kalki in terms screen time and screen presence #Kalki2898AD #Kalki2898ADonJune27 #BlockBusterKALKI #Kalki2898ADbooking

Interesting Idea, Grand Production Values. Bujji is fun. Prabhas’s screentime is less. Kamal Intro Gud. Initial 10 Mins & Interval Block Super. Other than that, its moreover like a Character Intro & setup for 2nd Hlf. Pace is slow. pic.twitter.com/4mHzXWDmmn
Amitabh Bachchan’s apology to Prabhas’ fans!
Kalki 2898 AD promises to tell a futuristic tale that blends mythology and fantasy. In the film, Amitabh Bachchan is seen raging against Prabhas in an epic battle. He recently reflected on his scenes with the Telugu star.

The Bollywood superstar recalled when director Nag Ashwin first approached him for the role. "When Nagi came to talk to me about this, he just brought a picture, a visual of what my character is going to look like and what Prabhas is going to look like. And I was this huge guy who’s shoving off Prabhas. And all the fans of Prabhas, please, you know, please excuse me. Main haath jod ke maafi maang raha hoon (I fold my hands and apologise to you). Don’t massacre me after you see what I do," Bachchan said.
