In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and he wrote, “On the acting front, Prabhas leads the way not because the film revolves around him, it is his strong presence that serves as a counterpoint to Amitabh Bachchan’s towering Ashwatthama – the deathless warrior, an eight-footer. The latter’s voice is, as always, an integral part of the character.
Deepika Padukone, playing one of the central figures, is splendid as the pregnant woman on the run. Saswata Chatterjee, as the bad guy who shoots lethal laser rays from his fist, has his moments in a film that often lets spectacle overwhelm everything else that it is trying to convey about mankind and the dangers it faces due to its own profligate ways.”
Kalki 2898 AD features a dystopian world. The post-apocalyptic film is inspired by Hindu scriptures and is set in the year 2898 AD. The film apart from Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan, features Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani in lead roles.
