Hit Ya Flop gave it 3 out of 5 stars & rated it as ‘Good’ and wrote “It redefines genres with its mythological sci-fi setting, impressive visuals & strong performances, but falls short of being the groundbreaking film it aspires to be. Prabhas impresses & Amitabh Bachchan truly steals the show. Action sequences between them are brilliantly choreographed, forming the film’s highlight.”
With a hefty budget of ₹600 Crore, Kalki 2898 AD was released in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, and English, making it accessible to a broad audience. The film hit theaters globally on 27th June 2024 and has been a sensation ever since. As the movie continues its theatrical run, it is poised to achieve even greater heights.
