#kalki2898ad just got done with imqx screening. Peak visuals and world building. Prabhas’s screen presence matched Amitabh’s performance which says a lot about Prabhas than the director. Movie is good overall that will make you wait for the next part.

KALKI 2898 AD was outstanding! A visually magnificent sci-fi experience. It had a little bit of “Blade Runner” & “Mad Max” in there as well. The Prabhas VS Amitabh Bachchan fight scene was epic. And Deepika & Disha were so gorgeous, they made my head spin.#Kalki2898AD #KALKI pic.twitter.com/aE8iwak67O

Blending mythology to sci-fi was a great idea, I would say the team pulled it off. Fantastic visuals, world building, CGI, story telling and music. You will literally have goosebumps when #amitabachan enters the story. The climax is haunting me.#Prabhas hats off!

Many on social media hinted at a possible sequel with a climax that leaves viewers wanting more.
