Kalki 2898 AD Review: Battle between Anarchy and Optimism, Prabhas and Amitabh's Performance

The movie "Kalki 2898 A.D.", starring Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan, explores a dystopian future set after the Dwapara era. Directed by Nag Ashwin, the film portrays a futuristic society influenced by themes from the Mahabharata, particularly focusing on Ashwatthama's character. It blends Hollywood-style storytelling with Indian cultural elements, showcasing three distinct regions: Shambhala, Kashi, and Complex. The narrative primarily unfolds in Kashi, depicting stark poverty and societal breakdown, contrasting with the affluent and technologically advanced Complex. The story revolves around the impending birth of God (Kalki) and the conflict between those seeking power in Complex and the rebels in Shambhala.
