Despite its remarkable success, Kalki 2898 AD has faced challenges from new releases such as "Deadpool and Wolverine," which impacted its smooth run at the box office. Upcoming releases like "Stree 2," "Khel Khel Mein," and "Vedaa" are also expected to influence its performance. However, the film's enduring appeal and strong fan base are anticipated to sustain its momentum as it approaches the end of its theatrical run.
The strategic release on Amazon Prime Video and Netflix is seen as a move to capture a broader audience base. By making the film available on these popular streaming platforms, the producers aim to reach viewers who may have missed the theatrical release. This dual-platform release also signifies a growing trend in the film industry, where major releases are simultaneously made available on multiple OTT services to maximize viewership and revenue.
Produced under the esteemed banner of Vyjayanthi Movies, "Kalki 2898 AD" has been praised for its visionary direction by Nag Ashwin and its high production values. The film's futuristic theme and compelling narrative have resonated with audiences, making it a standout in the science fiction genre. The performances, particularly that of lead actor Prabhas, have received widespread acclaim, further solidifying the film's success.
