Those who managed to watch the early shows shared their reviews on X. While the film did not impress the audience entirely, it has been called a visual spectacle by many.
Praise for the film also came in the form of its world-building and the visual experience it offered. However, some viewers were disappointed with Prabhas' limited screen time.
Kalki 2898 AD draws inspiration from the Hindu epic Mahabharat and sets its premise in a futuristic dystopian era. Despite its flaws, netizens believe that the experience of storytelling compensates for them.
Check out some of the reactions from netizens who caught the show:

The visuals and set up is something that has not been seen from Indian cinema which is captivating along with an interesting storyline. However, the screenplay is done in a mostly good way so far. #Prabhas has a fun character but limited screen time https://t.co/swtvMdC5bM
#Prabhas and #NagAshwin have made history! You'll feel it in the first 30 Mins of the film 🥵🔥#Kalki28989AD #kalki2898ad pic.twitter.com/8Ojnya8NE9
