The science fiction spectacle Kalki 2898 AD, helmed by Nag Ashwin, is maintaining its impressive box office performance. Starring a talented ensemble including Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani, and Prabhas, the film has garnered around ₹10 crore gross at the box office on its thirteenth day in theaters. This brings the worldwide total to over 840 Crores.
Upon its release, the reviewers were intrigued by the connection of Kalki 2898 AD to the Epic Mahabharat, a significant cultural reference. The film’s grand scale, impressive vision, and high-quality action scenes make it a must-watch in cinemas.

Audiences were left in awe of the action sequences, and the film culminates in a powerful climax, providing the essential cinematic thrill and showcasing the remarkable potential of a talent like Prabhas when paired with expert action direction. His portrayal of Karna in the final scenes is particularly impactful.
The movie features a star-studded ensemble with some of the most prominent names in Indian cinema. As the immortal warrior Ashwathhama, Amitabh Bachchan has publicly praised the project. Directed by Nag Ashwin, “Kalki 2898 AD” is reportedly the most expensive Indian film ever made, with a budget of ₹600 crore. This science fiction epic, described as a fusion of the Hindu epic Mahabharata and futuristic elements, was released globally in five languages on June 27th.
