From his personal favorite cameos to the biggest challenges on set, he shares it all!
Futuristic vehicles shown in the film were not based on CGI effects.But created by Mahindra And Mahindra Company with technical support provided by Anand Mahindra.. The OTT version has been trimmed by about 6 minutes from its original 3 hours and 1 minute runtime, now clocking in at 2 hours and 55 minutes.
Bhairava Anthem (Telugu)Music by Santhosh NarayananLyrics by Ramjogayya SastryVocals by Deepak Blue & Diljit Dosanjh
Following were the changes: Prabhas' extensive introduction scene was trimmed to streamline the experience.A segment where an elderly woman and a villain refer to Prabhas as Kappa (frog) has been removed, along with related scenes.The fight that follows his introduction, featuring Prabhas against two heavy men, was shortened.The 'Ta Takkara' song saw some beach scenes trimmed, and the entire sequence with Prabhas in a maroon outfit after being expelled by Colony security was deleted.The interval scene, where Deepika Padukone strides through a fiery tunnel, now includes new lyrics to the Theme of Kalki, and the interval card has been completely removed.Minor tweaks were also made to the dubbing for a smoother viewing experience.. I just watched Kalki and it's hard to express my disappointment.First off, the movie is riddled with unnecessary comedic dialogues that feel completely out of place, especially given the supposedly intense theme.
Kyra's character adds little value, with most of her screen time dedicated to pointless talks that drag the narrative down
Prabhas, who is usually a powerhouse, sadly comes across as a CLOWNISH character here.His performance is awkward and forced, making it difficult to take the film seriously. The entire movie feels like it's overdoing everything-be it the action sequences, emotional moments, or the supposed "comedy," which is jarringly out of sync with the rest of the movie.Kamal Haasan, despite being a legendary actor, has almost no role or screen presence.
In the end, Kalki is a poorly executed, overhyped messThis one is a hard pass
It feels like they used his name just to draw audiences, with no real contribution from him on-screen.Additionally, the set-up blatantly borrows from Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) but fails miserably to capture the essence of the original.
