After making waves at cinemas, Nag Ashwin's science fiction film Kalki 2898 AD has arrived on the digital platform. Starring Amitabh Bachchan along with Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, this Telugu movie is inspired by Hindu Scriptures and is based in a post-apocalyptic world in the year 2898 AD. Well, soon after it arrived on OTT, many movie-buffs dropped everything to binge-watch the epic and review it. According to a majority of fans, Big B is the star of the show as Ashwatthama. Several netizens have also lauded the action, opening sequence and Prabhas' 'unmatchable screen presence'.

Meanwhile, another fan, who felt Arshad made a good point, wrote: "Arshad Warsi's comment is understandable. He criticized the character Prabhas portrayed, which is fair. In #Kalki, Prabhas's role did come across as awkward, with many cringeworthy scenes." All in all, movie-buffs enjoyed Kalki 2898 AD and are glad it is available on the digital platform now. But they do have some strong opinions on Prabhas' role in the film. The actor has portrayed a dual role as a bounty hunter named Bhairava and Karna. Interestingly, witnessing Prabhas as Karna left many fans with goosebumps. So they will hopefully enjoy the sequel more.
