Kalki: Epic Vision and Illuminating Indian History
Synopsis: Death is not a punishment; it is a blessing.
First half: The movie begins with themes and depictions that instantly immerse you. However, it falters in the middle due to pacing and editing issues. Yet, in the last 15 minutes, it regains its footing and delivers. Prabhas’s best since bahubali. The film also features numerous impressive cameos.Second half: Oh my, oh my! The movie saves its best for last, especially when delving into our history, particularly the Mahabharata references.
Despite minor flaws, I’m inclined to overlook them because this film is truly special. Director Ashwin has not only crafted a sci-fi film but a remarkable one, especially given its budget constraints.Amitabh Bachchan stands out, and Prabhas delivers a commendable performance. The visuals are exceptional and serve as the film’s hallmark. The background music is superb, enriching and completing the cinematic experience.
However, I would have preferred if it were utilized more extensively, as it presents a slight missed opportunity.Final verdict: “Kalki” is a splendid film, not only in terms of its quality but also due to the director’s visionary and honest approach to our history.
