Vijay Deverakonda has finally watched Kalki 2898 AD and he is impressed, to say the least. Vijay has a cameo sequence as Arjun from Mahabharata in the Nag Ashwin directorial. After watching the film, Vijay feels that the makers have taken Indian cinema to a new level.

Vijay wrote on social media, “Just watched the film. I don’t know what to say… Overwhelmed. Indian cinema new level unlocked. Wth was that! I hope it makes a 1000 crores and more… ❤️” Check out his post here:

Starring powerhouse performances from Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan, the film delves into a modern rendition of Lord Vishnu’s incarnation on Earth to battle malevolent powers. Kalki 2898 AD debuted with impressive box office earnings of Rs 95.3 crore in India, while the overseas collections stood at Rs 61 crore. On its first day alone, the film collected Rs 114 crore, according to Sacnilk.

The film has managed to perform well on the second day of its theatrical debut despite being a midweek non-holiday release. The Nag Ashwin directorial successfully crossed the Rs 50 crore mark on Friday. According to Sacnilk.com, Kalki 2898 AD collected an estimated Rs 54 crore net in India for all languages.

News18 Showsha rated the film 4/5 and was all praise for Amitabh Bachchan and Prabhas’ performances in the film. Our reviewer said, “Kalki is an out-and-out Amitabh film. Even though we see very little of him in the first half, the actor’s screen time increases in the second half. The intensity with which he delivers his dialogues is worth praising. Prabhas’ Bhairava and Bujji add an element of humour to Kalki 2898 AD. Even though Prabhas’ action sequences in the first half lack energy, he stuns all with his fierce avatar in the second half of the film. His face-off with Amitabh surely deserves a special mention and is one of the major highlights of the film.”
