“Bujji and Bhairava: The Prelude” animated series, released in two episodes, sets the stage for the much-anticipated film “Kalki 2898 AD.” The series, voiced by the talented Keerthi Suresh as Bujji, introduces how this quirky character becomes an integral part of Prabhas’s journey as Bhairava in the film. Through these episodes, fans received glimpses of the camaraderie between Bujji and Bhairava, building excitement and curiosity about their dynamic in the movie. The animated prelude suggested a strong bond and hinted at key plot points, making it a crucial part of the promotional strategy.
However, upon the release of “Kalki 2898 AD,” the film did not entirely live up to the high expectations set by the animated series. While it wasn’t a failure, the portrayal of Prabhas as Bhairava felt limited, falling short of the grandeur anticipated by fans. Bujji, the car, which had been a focal point in the prelude, also saw less screen time and significance than expected. Despite a few humorous moments, the film didn’t capture the magic promised by the animated prelude, leading to a sense of disappointment among viewers.
The filmmakers’ heavy reliance on Bujji for promotional purposes seemed strategically planned to compensate for Bhairava’s less dominant role in the film. This approach, while initially effective in garnering interest, ultimately highlighted the disparity between the prelude’s promise and the film’s delivery. Nevertheless, the film has managed to find a mixed reception, with some fans appreciating certain aspects while others express their dissatisfaction. The response to “Kalki 2898 AD” reflects a complex interplay between marketing strategies and audience expectations, showcasing the challenges of translating animated allure into cinematic success.
