First of it's kind!

Ultimately, for all its wildly entertaining elements, Kalki 2898 AD feels like too much of a good thing, resembling the sort of lavish buffet meal that leaves you feeling overstuffed and exhausted.

[A] wildly uneven mashup of everything from Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis” to Marvel Comics movies, underpinned by elements from the Hindu epic poem “Mahabharata.”

KALKI 2898 AD is extremely ambitious and at least on this sci-fi scale unique in Indian Cinema. Unfortunately, the storytelling is also rather confusing and lackluster and never able to convey big emotions. Somehow it is always everywhere and nowhere.
