Amitabh Bachchan, who played the immortal Ashwatthama, just outshined the rest of the star cast and mesmerized us with his unparalleled screen presence and performance.
Kamal Haasan stunned us with his brilliant peformance as lead antagonist Supreme Yaskin. The legend left a last impression, even with a minimal screen time.
Prabhas played the goofy Bhairava to near perfection, while Deepika Padukone won hearts as SUM-80, the emotional anchor. Keerthy Suresh made a fun voice appearance as Bujji, the robot, while Shobana mesmerized in a brief role.
Kalki 2898 AD is one of the first Indian films to blend two drastically different genres - mythology and science fiction - effectively. Director Nag Ashwin and his team created this world so well.
The Mahabharata sequences elevated both the beginning and the climax sequences to a whole new level.
The production design team deserves a big applause for creating not just one, but three different worlds for Kalki 2898 AD, almost perfectly.
The visual effects of the film, especially the ones in Mahabharata sequences and the grand climax fight, are just class apart.
The exceptional cinematography of Kalki 2898 AD has made the film an absolute visual treat at the theatres.
