Kalki 2898 ADfever refuses to die down. The film, which hit the theatres today (June 27), has opened to positive reviews, with fans showering praise on the film. Early viewers from Thursday's shows have already labelled it a "blockbuster", while others claim it can rival Hollywood productions. A fan exiting the theatre at intermission said, “Completed the first half: Ah, world-class film. Even Hollywood cannot match the level of Tollywood. I have seen the first half, and people, especially those from the North, will get goosebumps. Excited for the second half.” Another fan, who travelled two hours to the theatre, praised Prabhas for his portrayal of Bhairava in Kalki 2898 AD. "We are fans of Prabhas. The film is good. We had to watch it because a film as massive as Kalki 2898 AD was released after a gap of two years," another fan added. *Rating*: 2.75/5- *Review*: Kalki 2898 AD deserves a watch in theatres for its scale, vision, and top-notch action sequences. However, the lack of drama and emotions is a big miss.#Kalki2898AD#KalkiReview#Kalki2898ADonJune27pic.twitter.com/1SNXTurrJQ #Kalki2898AD Non-Spoiler Review Thread :Except for Unnecessary Lagg in First Half.

Early X (formerly Twitter) reviews show that the audience is impressed with Nag Ashwin's much-anticipated sci-fi film. Social media influencer and critic Amutha Bharati called the first half “decent” but noted that the second half is “above average.” A fan tweeted, "Kalki 2898 AD deserves a watch in theaters for its scale, vision, and top-notch action sequences. However, the lack of drama and emotions is a big miss."
Another fan wrote, "Except for unnecessary lag in the first half. Kalki 2898 AD is no less a Rajamouli Range Vision, especially the last 30 Mins. Visuals & ]taking - never before in Indian cinema. Nag Ashwin story writing, taking & visuals are brilliant."
