Here's what IMDb users said on Kalki
IMDb users had largely positive things to say about the latest Prabhas film. From the characterisation to VFX, almost everything seemed to work for moviegoers.

"A unique genre, a well written story (script) & strong characters give this movie a strong start. The extravagant visuals & very detailed crisp VFX gives the audience much needed thrill," a user wrote.
Another user said that Kalki 2898 AD could be just the perfect start to an epic cinematic universe of India. "This is a great start to an epic cinematic universe of India!" the user noted.
"Nag Ashwin has created a nice fusion of mythology and science fiction world. The story telling even though feels fragmented at the beginning becomes a nice flowing fusion as the movie progresses. At around 3 hours, the movie doesn't feel like a drag as it is required to build the story up," a user mentioned.
