      Kalki 2898 AD Day 1 Collections: Increased Ticket Prices still missed to beat RRR.
      Kalki 2898 AD Day 1 Collections: Increased Ticket Prices still missed to beat RRR.
      The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' directed by Nag Ashwin and starring pan-India star Prabhas, was released worldwide on Thursday, June 27th, and is receiving rave reviews everywhere. With the positive talk coming from all sides, audiences are showing great enthusiasm for this movie. As 'Kalki' becomes a super hit, everyone's attention is now focused on its first-day collections. The film, a visual wonder in the mythology-futuristic genre, was estimated by trade circles to collect over ₹200 crores on its first day. Did 'Kalki' reach that mark? How did Prabhas' mania impact the box office? What all-time record did 'Kalki' create in the US? Let's find out in this review. Day 1 Collections All eyes are currently on the Day 1 collections of 'Kalki 2898 AD.' The production house, Vyjayanthi Movies, has officially announced the first day's earnings. The makers declared that 'Kalki' amassed ₹191.5 crores (GROSS) worldwide on its first day. They also released a special poster with the caption "Let's Celebrate Cinema." Initially, trade circles had predicted that 'Kalki' would collect over ₹200 crores on its first day, with analyses suggesting that all previous Day 1 records would be broken. However, 'Kalki' narrowly missed the ₹200 crore mark. Despite this, industry experts predict that 'Kalki' will surely join the ₹500 crore club by the end of this weekend. All-Time Record Prabhas' 'Kalki' is creating a sensation in North America. The local audience is impressed by the performances of Prabhas and other top stars. Consequently, 'Kalki' set an all-time record in North America. It garnered a whopping $3.8 million from North American premieres, the highest collection for an Indian film in that region. 'Kalki' has thus achieved the distinction of being the first Indian film to earn this much. Following 'Kalki' are 'RRR' ($3.46 million), 'Salaar' ($2.6 million), and 'Baahubali 2' ($2.45 million). Overseas Collections Combining premieres and first-day collections, trade circles report that 'Kalki' collected $5 million on its first day in America. Among Telugu films, 'Kalki' secured the 5th position for the highest collections in just one day. It also set a record as the fastest film to collect $5 million. If these collections continue, 'Kalki' is expected to set a benchmark overseas. Experts predict that the collections will increase further over the weekend. 'RRR' Record Safe! According to trade figures, 'Kalki 2898 AD' could not surpass the 'RRR' record. 'RRR' collected ₹223 crores (GROSS) on its first day, making it the top Indian film in terms of Day 1 collections. As per trade estimates, 'Kalki 2898 AD' halted at ₹180 crores, leaving the 'RRR' record intact. 'Baahubali 2' stands in second place with ₹217 crores. While 'Kalki' couldn't break these records, it surpassed the records of 'KGF 2' (₹164.5 crores), 'Salaar' (₹158 crores), 'Adipurush' (₹136.8 crores), and 'Saaho' (₹125.6 crores) to secure a place in the top three. Match Effect on Collections The 'Kalki 2898 AD' team lagged in promoting the film on a grand scale like 'Baahubali 2' and 'RRR.' If they had done extensive promotions, the movie might have created new records. The T20 World Cup also affected the film's collections. The audience's interest in watching the India-England semi-final match on Thursday evening turned into a slight disadvantage. Additionally, Thursday being a working day impacted 'Kalki's' collections. However, with positive talk everywhere, the collections of 'Kalki' are expected to increase significantly over the weekend. Top 10 Highest Opening Day Collections in India 1. RRR (2022)  Directed by S.S.

He's earning rave reviews for his performance, especially for action sequences that are said to rival Hollywood standards. This has led many to commend the 'Kalki' team for elevating Indian cinema to an international level.

Ashwatthama commits a grave mistake by launching a weapon at an unborn child. The dialogues that follow, as Lord Krishna curses him, are captivating. Ashwatthama: Champadaniki vaste nannu champu Krishna. Nee upadeshalu vinadaniki nenu Arjunudni kaadu. అశ్వత్థామ : చంపడానికి వస్తే నన్ను చంపు కృష్ణ. నీ ఉపదేశాలు వినడానికి నేను అర్జునుడ్ని కాదు.  Krishna: Ee 18 rojulu Kurukshetramlo jarigina papaala kanna.. Nee adharmam nishkritamainadi. Dhronacharyudi putrudivi ayyundi intaku digajaraava? కృష్ణుడు : ఈ 18 రోజులు కురు క్షేత్రంలో జరిగిన పాపాల కన్నా.. నీ అధర్మం నిష్కృతమైనది. ధ్రోణాచార్యుడి పుత్రుడివి అయ్యుండి ఇంతకు దిగజారావా? Ashwatthama: Naa tandri peru palike arhata neeku ledu. Nuvvu anukunte atadi marananni aapagaligevadi. అశ్వత్థామ : నా తండ్రి పేరు పలికే అర్హత నీకు లేదు. నువ్వు అనుకుంటే అతడి మరణాన్ని ఆపగలిగేవాడివి. Krishna: Ashwatthama.. Devudaina krurudaina karmanu tappinchukoleru. Garbhasta sisuvupai astram vadilavu. Nee kharm nuvvu anubhavinkaka tappadu. కృష్ణుడు : అశ్వత్థామ.. దేవుడైనా క్రురుడైనా కర్మను తప్పించుకోలేరు. గర్భస్త శిశువుపై అస్త్రం వదిలావు. నీ ఖర్మ నువ్వు అనుభవించక తప్పదు.  Ashwatthama: Ayithe sandhinchu chakram.. Vidhinchu nee shikshani. అశ్వత్థామ : అయితే సంధించు చక్రం.. విధించు నీ శిక్షని. Krishna: Chavu nee shiksha kaadu Ashwatthama.. Adi vimukti. Kalantaram Pandavulu andaru chanipotaru. Naa shareeramoo maranistundi. Ee yugam antharistundi. Kaani, neeku maranam radu. Veladi sanvatsaralu nee gaayalu maanaka.. Chavu raaka.. Brathakaleka.. Enno papalu choosthu jeevistavu. Ide naa shapam. కృష్ణుడు : చావు నీ శిక్ష కాదు అశ్వత్థామ.. అది విముక్తి. కాలాంతరం పాండవులు అందరూ చనిపోతారు. నా శరీరమూ మరణిస్తుంది. ఈ యుగం అంతరిస్తుంది. కానీ, నీకు మరణం రాదు. వేలాది సంవత్సరాలు నీ గాయాలు మానక.. చావు రాక.. బ్రతకలేక.. ఎన్నో పాపాలు చూస్తూ జీవిస్తావు. ఇదే నా శాపం. Ashwatthama: Mari naa shapaniki prayschittam leda? అశ్వత్థామ : మరి నా శాపానికి ప్రాయిశ్చిత్తం లేదా? Krishna: Nuvvu nannu champalanukunnav.. Kani oka roju nuvve nannu kapadali. కృష్ణుడు : నువ్వు నన్ను చంపాలనుకున్నావ్‌.. కానీ ఒక రోజు నువ్వే నన్ను కాపాడాలి.  Ashwatthama: Nena? అశ్వత్థామ : నేనా? Krishna: Kaliyugam vastundi. Kali vastunnadu. Adharmam perigipoyi prapanchamantha cheekati ayinappudu nenu malli oka avataram ettali. Aa yugamlo Kali maha shaktishali. Enta shaktivantudu ante na puttukane apagaladu. Appudu nuvve na garbha gudiki kapala kayali. కృష్ణుడు : కలియుగం వస్తుంది. కలి వస్తున్నాడు. అధర్మం పెరిగిపోయి ప్రపంచమంతా చీకటి అయినప్పుడు నేను మళ్లీ ఒక అవతారం ఎత్తాలి. ఆ యుగంలో కలి మహా శక్తిశాలి. ఎంత శక్తివంతుడు అంటే నా పుట్టుకనే ఆపగలడు. అప్పుడు నువ్వే నా గర్భ గుడికి కాపలా కాయాలి. Dialogue A complex announces a bounty of 5000 units on a young man. A gang sets out to capture him. In the midst of his escape, Bujji (an AI vehicle) shackles him. Then, the villain's gang opens fire on Bujji. Amidst this, Bujji introduces her boss, Bhairav (Prabhas), elevating his status. Bujji: Hey.. Stop. Nannu shoot chestava. Ippudu choodu naa boss vachhi mee andarini smash chestadu. బుజ్జి : హేయ్‌.. స్టాప్‌. నన్ను షూట్‌ చేస్తావా. ఇప్పుడు చూడు నా బాస్‌ వచ్చి మీ అందరిని స్మాష్‌ చేస్తాడు. Villan Gang: Evaru mee boss? విలన్‌ గ్యాంగ్‌: ఎవరు మీ బాస్‌? Bujji: Paatha yuddhallo soldier. Intha varaku okka yuddhamlo odipoledu. The one and only Bhairava  బుజ్జి : పాత యుద్ధాల్లో సోల్జర్‌. ఇంత వరకూ  ఒక్క యుద్ధంలో ఓడిపోలేదు. ది వన్‌ అండ్‌ ఓన్లీ భైరవ  (After this dialogue Prabhas enters) Bhairava: Entry anantharam Bhairava nelapai guraka petti nidra pothadu.. భైరవ: ఎంట్రీ అనంతరం భైరవ నేలపై గురక పెట్టి నిద్ర పోతాడు.. Bujji: Bhairava getup.. Chala buildup ichaanu le. బుజ్జి : భైరవ గెటప్‌.. చాలా బిల్డప్‌ ఇచ్చాను లే. Bhairava: Bujji.. Bujji.. Please 5 minutes padukuntanu.  భైరవ: బుజ్జి.. బుజ్జి.. ప్లీజ్‌ 5 మినిట్స్‌ పడుకుంటాను.  Dialogue Supreme Yaskin (Kamal Haasan) conducts experiments on pregnant women using his people in the complex. A scientist from Yaskin’s team tries to kill him in response. The dialogues Yaskin delivers while killing the scientist are captivating. Supreme Yaskin: Chaavuku nenu chaala pranalau icchanu. Adi nanneem cheyadu. Ninnu chooste jalestundi. Enduku nannu champalanukunnav? సుప్రీమ్‌ యాస్కిన్‌: చావుకు నేను చాలా ప్రాణాలు ఇచ్చాను. అది నన్నేం చేయదు. నిన్ను చూస్తే జాలేస్తుంది. ఎందుకు నన్ను చంపాలనుకున్నావ్‌? Scientist: Manchi kosam.. సైంటిస్టు : మంచి కోసం..  Supreme Yaskin: Manchi.. Charitrlo enni pranalau teesindho telusa ee manchi. Rajulu rajyalu marutunna pratheesari marutundi manchi. Danni nammoddhu. Inthaki neekem kavali? సుప్రీమ్‌ యాస్కిన్‌ : మంచి.. చరిత్రలో ఎన్ని ప్రాణాలు తీసిందో తెలుసా ఈ మంచి. రాజులు రాజ్యాలు మారుతున్న ప్రతీసారి మారుతుందీ మంచి. దాన్ని నమ్మోద్దు. ఇంతకీ నీకేం కావాలి? Scientist: Ee lokanni kapadali. సైంటిస్టు : ఈ లోకాన్ని కాపాడాలి Supreme Yaskin: Ade kada.. Nenu chesindi. Devudini, dabbulani, vandala yuddhalu chese andarini okka yuddhamtho gelichanu tappa?. Meera boodida chestunna prakrutini andanantha dhooramlu pettanu.. Tappa? సుప్రీమ్ యాస్కిన్‌ : అదే కదా.. నేనూ చేసింది. దేవుడిని, డబ్బులని, వందల యుద్ధాలు చేసే అందరినీ ఒక్క యుద్ధంతో గెలిచాను తప్పా?. మీరు బూడిద చేస్తున్న ప్రకృతిని అందనంత దూరంలో పెట్టాను.. తప్పా? Scientist: Neeku istam vachhinatlu cheyadaniki nuvvu evaru? సైంటిస్టు : నీకు ఇష్టం వచ్చినట్లు చేయడానికి నువ్వు ఎవరు? Supreme Yaskin: Mari nashanam cheyadaniki meeru evaru? Enni yugalau ayina.. Enni avakasalu ichchina manishi maradu.. Maraledu. Idi nee tappu kadule. Human beingsku unna defecte adi. సుప్రీమ్‌ యాస్కిన్‌ : మరి నాశనం చేయడానికి మీరు ఎవరు? ఎన్ని యుగాలు అయినా.. ఎన్ని అవకాశాలు ఇచ్చినా మనిషి మారడు.. మారలేడు. ఇది నీ తప్పు కాదులే. హ్యూమన్‌ బీయింగ్స్‌కు ఉన్న డిఫెక్టే అది.  Dialogue Supreme Yaskin rescues Sumathi (Deepika Padukone), who is pregnant with Kalki, from his own people and brings her to Shambala. The guard of Shambala, unaware of who Sumathi is, tries to stop them. The scene and dialogues that follow highlight this moment. Rakshanadhikari: Amenu ikkadaku enduku teesukochchavu. 5 million pounds pettaru eeme meeda. Complex matrame kadu worldlo prati okkaru ame kosam vethukunnaru. Ela kapadatavu? రక్షణాధికారి : ఆమెను ఇక్కడకు ఎందుకు తీసుకొచ్చావు. 5 మిలియన్ పౌండ్లు పెట్టారు ఈమె మీద. కాంప్లెక్స్‌ మాత్రమే కాదు వరల్డ్‌లో ప్రతీ ఒక్కరు ఆమె కోసం వెతుకున్నారు. ఎలా కాపాడతావు? Ashwatthama: Nenu kapadatanu. అశ్వత్థామ : నేను కాపాడతాను Rakshanadhikari: Asalu nuvvu evaru? Podugga unte saripodu. Eppudaina yuddham chesava? రక్షణాధికారి : అసలు నువ్వు ఎవరు? పొడుగ్గా ఉంటే సరిపోదు. ఎప్పుడైనా యుద్ధం చేశావా? Ashwatthama gurinchi telisina baludu: Excuse me.. Mahabharatamlo Sreekrishnudithone yuddham chesadu.. Oke. (Ikada highlight BGM vastundi) అశ్వత్థామ గురించి తెలిసిన బాలుడు: ఎక్స్‌క్యూజ్‌మీ.. మహాభారతంలో శ్రీకృష్ణుడితోనే యుద్ధం చేశాడు.. ఓకే. (ఇక్కడ హైలెట్‌ బీజీఎం వస్తుంది) Rakshanadhikari: Andariki picchi ekkinda? Eeme (Sumathi) ikkadi ravadam valla andariki entho dangero arthamavutunda? Tanu just.. lab nunchi escape ayina mamulu pregnant woman. Emi special woman kadu. Ayina puttedi devudu anadaniki enti sakshyam. రక్షణాధికారి : అందరికీ పిచ్చి ఎక్కిందా? ఈమె (సుమతి) ఇక్కడి రావడం వల్ల అందరికీ ఎంతో డేంజరో అర్థమవుతుందా? తను జస్ట్‌.. ల్యాబ్‌ నుంచి ఎస్కేప్‌ అయిన మామూలు ప్రెగ్నెంట్‌ ఉమెన్‌. ఏమీ స్పెషల్‌ ఉమెన్‌ కాదు. అయినా పుట్టేది దేవుడు అనడానికి ఏంటీ సాక్ష్యం. As soon as that dialogue is spoken, rain begins to fall immediately, a rare event in that region. The people of Shambala believe that the birth of Kalki will occur from her womb as her arrival brings rain. This scene gives the audience goosebumps. Dialogue Sumati (Deepika) questions Ashwatthama why Lord Vishnu chose her to be the mother of Kalki. The dialogues in this context are mesmerizing. Ashwatthama: Nuvvu pranam ivvadanike puttava amma? అశ్వత్థామ : నువ్వు ప్రాణం ఇవ్వడానికే పుట్టావ్‌ అమ్మా? Sumati: Asalu em matladutunnaru. Inka toli oopiri kuda teesukoni ee bidda kosam inka entha mandi chanipovali? సుమతి : అసలు ఏం మాట్లాడుతున్నారు. ఇంకా తొలి ఊపిరి కూడా తీసుకొని ఈ బిడ్డ కోసం ఇంకా ఎంత మంది చనిపోవాలి? Ashwatthama: Prati chaavuki oka paramartham untundi. Prati chaavu lokaniki kotta oopiri postundamma. అశ్వత్థామ : ప్రతీ చావుకి ఒక పరమార్థం ఉంటుంది. ప్రతీ చావు లోకానికి కొత్త ఊపిరి పోస్తుందమ్మా. Sumati: Kaani, nene enduku? సుమతి : కానీ, నేనే ఎందుకు? Ashwatthama: Moyagaligina shakti unnavarike badhyatanu istadu aa devudu. Bhagavantudni kadupulo moyalante bhoodevi antha orpu undali. Meelo aa orpu undane mimmalni talliga enchukunnaru. అశ్వత్థామ : మోయగలిగిన శక్తి ఉన్నవారికే బాధ్యతను ఇస్తాడు ఆ దేవుడు. భగవంతుడ్ని కడుపులో మోయాలంటే భూదేవి అంత ఓర్పు ఉండాలి. మీలో ఆ ఓర్పు ఉందనే మిమ్మల్ని తల్లిగా ఎంచుకున్నారు.  Ashwatthama: Nuvvu ippudu kanabooyedi mamulu pranam kaadamma.. srushtini. Janmanivvadam nee dharmam kaapadatam naa badhyata. అశ్వత్థామ: నువ్వు ఇప్పుడు కనబోయేది మాములు ప్రాణం కాదమ్మ.. సృష్టిని. జన్మనివ్వడం నీ ధర్మం కాపాడటం నా బాధ్యత. Dialogue Upon arriving in Shambala, Sumati is claimed by Chatterjee, the Complex representative, who instructs his men to seize her. He tells his commander that riders have been sent in all directions and they will soon capture her. Meanwhile, Prabhas, who has already battled Ashwatthama, declares they can do nothing more. The dialogue between him and Chatterjee captivates the audience. Bhairava: Aa musalodu unnanthavaraku em cheyaleru. భైరవ : ఆ ముసలోడు ఉన్నంతవరకూ ఏం చేయలేరు. Chatterjee: Musaloda? ఛటర్జీ : ముసలోడా? Bhairava: Mee vallandarini kottindi atade? Okkadu kuda vadni touch cheyaledu. Nenu tappa. భైరవ : మీ వాళ్లందరినీ కొట్టింది అతడే? ఒక్కడు కూడా వాడ్ని టచ్‌ చేయలేదు. నేను తప్పా. Chatterjee: Veedevadu asalu? ఛటర్జీ : వీడెవడు అసలు? Commander: Bhairava ani bounty enter sir. Mana vallani kodithe black list chesanu. కమాండర్‌: భైరవ అని బౌంటీ ఎంటర్‌ సర్‌. మన వాళ్లని కొడితే బ్లాక్‌ లిస్ట్‌ చేశాను.  Bhairava: Elagaina black list chesavu kada. Malli kodatha. Point enti ante nenu okkadine aa ammayini teesukuragalanu. Meeku vere option ledu. భైరవ: ఎలాగైనా బ్లాక్‌ లిస్ట్‌ చేశావు కదా. మళ్లీ కొడతా. పాయింట్‌ ఏంటి అంటే నేను ఒక్కడినే ఆ అమ్మాయిని తీసుకురాగలను. మీకు వేరే ఆప్షన్‌ లేదు.  Chatterjee: Antha sure aa.. ఛటర్జీ : అంత ష్యూర్‌ ఆ..  Bhairava: Records chusuko.. Inthavaraku okka fight kuda odipoledu. Idi kuda odiponu. భైరవ : రికార్డ్స్‌ చూసుకో.. ఇంతవరకూ ఒక్క ఫైట్‌ కూడా ఓడిపోలేదు. ఇది కూడా ఓడిపోను.  Dialogue In the climax of the movie, the scene involving Kamal Haasan sends chills down the spine. After gaining power, he declares, “Jagannatha rathachakralu vastunnayi vastunnayi.. Rathachakra pralayaghola bhoomargam pattistanu.. Bhukampam puttistanu.” ('జగన్నాథ రథచక్రాల్‌ వస్తున్నాయ్‌ వస్తున్నాయ్‌.. రథచక్ర ప్రళయఘోళ భూమార్గం పట్టిస్తాను.. భూకంపం పుట్టిస్తాను') revealing the extent of the destruction he is about to unleash in the second part of his dialogue. However, this dialogue originates from Sri Sri’s epic work "Maha Prasthanam." Kamal Haasan previously delivered this dialogue in the movie "Akali Rajyam" 44 years ago. Hearing Sri Sri’s poetry from his lips after so many years again surprised the audience. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TELUGU SONGS OLD (@telugu_songs_old) Dialogue In "Kalki," Prabhas, who has been playing Bhairava, shocks everyone by appearing as Karna in the final part. In the last ten minutes, featuring an episode from the Mahabharata, he as Karna shakes the screen. Holding a bow and standing on a chariot, Prabhas declares, "Is it too late, son of the teacher?" sending the entire theater into a frenzy. The introduction of Bhairava as Karna, especially during this climactic scene at Kurukshetra, draws loud cheers. Arjunudu: Ashwatthama.. thalaratanu raase Brahma chesina Gandeevam idi. Deenini evaru addukoleru. అర్జునుడు : అశ్వత్థామ.. తలరాతను రాసే బ్రహ్మ చేసిన గాంఢీవం ఇది. దీనిని ఎవరు అడ్డుకోలేరు. Karnudu: Prabhas entry ichhi Arjunudu vesina banaanni niluvaristadu. Aa sandarbhamlo aalasyamainda acharya deva? ani Ashwatthamatho antadu. కర్ణుడు: ప్రభాస్‌ ఎంట్రీ ఇచ్చి అర్జునుడు వేసిన బాణాన్ని నిలువరిస్తాడు. ఆ సందర్భంలో ఆలస్యమైందా ఆచార్య దేవా? అని అశ్వత్థామతో అంటాడు. Ashwatthama: Ledu.. Saraina samayamlo ne vachchavu. అశ్వత్థామ: లేదు.. సరైన సమయంలోనే వచ్చావు.  Arjunudu: Choosava.. Keshava (Krishnudu). Tanu naku samanuda? Vadni (Karnudu) addukoni mana ratham kevalam rendu adugulu venakki vellindi. Naa astraniki atadi ratham 10 adugulu venakki vellindi. అర్జునుడు: చూశావా.. కేశవ (కృష్ణుడు). తను నాకు సమానుడా? వాడ్ని (కర్ణుడు) అడ్డుకొని మన రథం కేవలం రెండు అడుగులు వెనక్కి వెళ్లింది. నా అస్త్రానికి అతడి రథం 10 అడుగులు వెనక్కి వెళ్లింది.  Krishnudu: O Dhanunjaya.. Nee ratham agnidevudi varam. Kapadutunnadani jendapai kapiraju (Hanumantudu). Naduputunnadi mullokala nadipinche nenu. Aina rendadugulu venakki toshadante alochinchu Arjuna. కృష్ణుడు : ఓ ధనుంజయ.. నీ రథం అగ్నిదేవుడి వరం. కాపాడుతున్నదని జెండాపై కపిరాజు (హనుమంతుడు).  నడుపుతున్నది ముల్లోకాలు నడిపించే నేను. అయినా రెండడుగులు వెనక్కి తోశాడంటే ఆలోచించు అర్జునా.  Krishnudu: Tanu (Karnudu) samanya yodhudu kadu. Tana kallaloni tejasu.. tana chetiloni dhanassu.. tana peru.. charitra eppatiki marchipodu. Surya putra Vaikarna.. Karna. (Ee dialogueto Kalki tolipart mugustundi). కృష్ణుడు: తను (కర్ణుడు) సామాన్య యోధుడు కాదు. తన కళ్లల్లోని తేజస్సు.. తన చేతిలోని ధనస్సు.. తన పేరు.. చరిత్ర ఎప్పటికీ మర్చిపోదు. సూర్య పుత్ర వైకర్ణ.. కర్ణ.

      Kalki 2898 AD Movie Review: An Epic Sci-Fi Saga Starring Prabhas and an Ensemble Cast
      Kalki 2898 AD Movie Review: An Epic Sci-Fi Saga Starring Prabhas and an Ensemble Cast
      Cast: Prabhas, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Dulquer Salmaan, Vijay Deverakonda, Disha Patani, Rana Daggubati, Anna Ben, among others. Written and Directed by: Nag Ashwin Music by: Santhosh Narayanan Editing by: Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao Producers: Ashwini Dutt, Priyanka Dutt, Swapna Dutt Production Company: Vyjayanthi Movies Makers Release Date: June 27, 2024 The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, generated worldwide excitement. This high-budget science fiction action movie, also featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan, became known as India's most expensive production. With its Hollywood-level trailer and teaser, anticipation skyrocketed following the initial poster release. The movie premiered on June 27. Did 'Kalki 2898 AD' meet the high expectations and give another blockbuster to Prabhas's career? What's the story? The plot of 'Kalki 2898 AD' unfolds from a deceit by Dharmaraja in the Mahabharata. Ashwatthama (Amitabh Bachchan), cursed by Krishna during the battle of Kurukshetra, eagerly anticipates the arrival of Kalki. Upon discovering that Kalki will be born to a woman named Sumati (Deepika Padukone), he takes on the role of her protector. Meanwhile, Bhairava (Prabhas) in Kashi seeks to enter a sacred complex that requires one million units for entry. Realizing that capturing Sumati could earn him the necessary funds, Bhairava sets out on his quest. Will he confront Ashwatthama and succeed in capturing Sumati? Who is Supreme Yashkin (Kamal Haasan) play, and why is he interested in Sumati? How are the Kali Yuga's conclusion and the Kurukshetra's battle connected? Why are the residents of Kashi and Shambhala facing hardships? What roles do Vijay Deverakonda and Dulquer Salmaan play? One must watch the movie 'Kalki' to find the answers to these questions. How did they perform? Pan-India star Prabhas once again asserted his commanding presence in this film, particularly shining in the role of Bhairava. His dynamic action sequences left a lasting impression. While his role was limited in the first half, he delivered a fully engaging performance in the second half. Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, portraying Ashwatthama, gave an unparalleled performance, with his efforts evident on screen. Kamal Haasan, playing the villain, offered a performance that surpassed expectations. Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani captivated audiences with their roles. The cameos by Vijay Deverakonda, Dulquer Salmaan, Rajamouli, Rana, and RGV were delightful. All other actors fulfilled their roles with great conviction. How's the direction? Director Nag Ashwin is poised to make a global impact with 'Kalki'. The film's greatest strength lies in the story, which was crafted by Nag Ashwin himself. His direction, vision, and presentation all earn high praise. Although the first 40 minutes may appear slow, Ashwin ensures that the pace never falters. After this initial segment, the narrative picks up speed and maintains its intensity all the way to the climax. The scene just before the interval, in particular, is sure to give the audience goosebumps. The futuristic vehicles, weaponry, and sets are visually spectacular. Nonetheless, the screenplay has minor flaws, and some scenes seem overly prolonged. The absence of elements that typically thrill the broader audience represents a slight drawback. Improved dubbing for Deepika could have further enhanced the viewing experience. Overall, Nag Ashwin has achieved significant success as a director. Technically On the technical front, all departments exhibited exceptional skill. The graphics department especially deserves high praise. The cinematographer’s work is outstanding. Santhosh Narayanan’s music is a significant plus for the film, particularly elevating the action sequences. The editor could have sharpened his cuts a bit more. The production values are very high, with no compromises on the budget. Every scene is richly produced.

      Mirzapur Season 3 Review: A Powerful ‘Mirzapur 3’?
      Mirzapur Season 3 Review: A Powerful ‘Mirzapur 3’?
      Cast: Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, Shweta Tripathi, Vijay Varma, Rasika Dugal, Harshita Gaur, Shaji Chaudhary, and others. Directors: Gurmeet Singh, Anand Iyyer Cinematographer: Sanjay Kapoor Producer: Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani Release Date: July 5, 2024 OTT Platform: Amazon Prime Mirzapur has achieved significant success as an OTT crime thriller series. The first season premiered in 2018, with a second season following in 2020. Both seasons surpassed expectations with their bold content and engaging dialogues, capturing the attention of the youth and setting high expectations for a third season. The much-anticipated third season, 'Mirzapur Season 3,' is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime. This season includes 10 episodes and is available in Hindi, Telugu, and several other South Indian languages. Did this season meet the high expectations?  What Happened in the Previous Seasons? In the first season of Mirzapur, Guddu Bhaiya (Ali Fazal) and Bablu Pandit (Vikrant Massey) worked for Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi). The season ended tragically with Guddu losing his brother and close ones to Munna, Kaleen Bhaiya's son. In the second season, Guddu avenges their deaths by killing Munna and attacking Kaleen, who manages to escape. Season 2 concludes right where Season 3 begins. What’s the Story in Mirzapur Season 3? In Mirzapur Season 3, Guddu Bhaiya emerges as the new don of Mirzapur with the support of Beena Tripathi (Rasika Dugal) and his sister, Golu (Shweta Tripathi). Sharad Shukla and Shatrughan, who had saved Kaleen Bhaiya in the previous season, also aim for the throne of Mirzapur, leading to a conflict between Sharad and Guddu. Meanwhile, Munna's widow, CM Madhuri (Isha Talwar), joins forces with Sharad to weaken Guddu. On the other hand, Kaleen Bhaiya makes an unexpected return to the fray for Mirzapur’s throne. How did Guddu handle these dire situations? Did Guddu succeed even after shooting Kaleen? Did CM Madhuri achieve her goal of overthrowing the throne of Mirzapur? Watch Season 3 to find out. Performance Reviews Ali Fazal delivers a compelling performance as Guddu Bhaiya, carrying the season on his shoulders. Shweta Tripathi, as Golu, does not disappoint, enhancing her role from the previous seasons. Rasika Dugal breathes life once again into the character of Beena Tripathi. Isha Talwar impresses as the CM, following closely after Fazal and Vijay Varma in capturing the audience's attention. Pankaj Tripathi, although appearing in fewer scenes, leaves a mark with his signature acting style. The rest of the cast justly fulfills their roles. Directional Insights Compared to previous seasons, this installment showcases more political drama. The directors have skillfully crafted the series with intense and thrilling action-packed episodes. The strategic moves in the battle for Mirzapur are intriguingly presented, with engaging twists and suspenseful factors. However, the typical violence associated with the Mirzapur series is noticeably toned down this season. The absence of Munna's character and the reduced scope for Kaleen Bhaiya's role are significant drawbacks. Additionally, with episodes lasting 45-50 minutes, some may feel the series drags at times. The lack of bold dialogues, a draw for the youth in previous seasons, might disappoint some viewers. A lack of curiosity about what comes next also marks a failure on the directors’ part. Without expectations, Mirzapur Season 3 is engaging, but it might seem lackluster compared to previous seasons. Technically… Technically, all departments have performed well. The background music, in particular, stands out, adding depth to the scenes. The cinematography is decent, though the editing could have been tighter. The production values are high. Plus Points - Strong performances from the main cast - Political drama filled with twists - Engaging background music Minus Points - Lack of anticipated action scenes - Dragging scenes - Absence of bold dialogues that previously attracted the youth Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

After a long wait, there's an exciting update about "Hit 3." There's strong speculation that Rana Daggubati will appear as Nani’s antagonist. This news has currently become the talk of Tollywood. Rana as a Psycho Killer? Looking at the first two movies of the "Hit" series, both revolve around serial killings, a psycho killer, and a police investigation backdrop. "Hit 3" is also expected to follow a similar theme. In it, Nani is set to appear as a powerful police officer. Rana’s role is rumored to be just as formidable. Rana has reportedly responded positively to his character description. There’s buzz online that Rana will appear as a brutal psycho killer in "Hit 3," and his role is said to be quite terrifying. An official announcement regarding this is expected to be made soon. Title Change..!    Natural Star Nani's last two films, "Dasara" and "Hi Nanna," were successful, encouraging him to aim for a hat-trick of hits. His upcoming film, "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," directed by Vivek Athreya, is set to release soon with Priyanka Mohan in the lead female role. Previously, their collaboration in "Gang Leader" received mixed reviews, although Nani and Priyanka received high praise. "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram" is scheduled for a pan-India release, with versions in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, and Kannada. The film will be titled "Saturday" in languages other than Telugu. It is expected to hit theaters on August 29. Crazy Combo Locked..! Another exciting partnership is forming in Tollywood. Natural Star Nani and renowned director Shekhar Kammula are rumored to be collaborating on a movie. Shekhar Kammula recently discussed the storyline with Nani, who was impressed and quickly agreed to the project. The film is likely to be produced by Asian Sunil. This collaboration marks the first time Nani and Shekhar Kammula will work together. Currently, Shekhar Kammula is directing "Kubera," which stars Dhanush and Nagarjuna. Once this film is completed, Kammula is expected to devote his attention to the Nani project.

      This Week’s OTT &  Telugu Movie Releases (5th  July)
      This Week’s OTT &  Telugu Movie Releases (5th  July)
      The impact of "Kalki 2898 AD," starring Prabhas, continues to affect new film releases this week. Its box office success has made directors and producers hesitant to release their films, resulting in no new movies in theaters this week. However, from July 1 to 7, as many as 24 movies and series will debut on various OTT platforms. Disappointingly, none of these are Telugu films. Let's take a look at the major films and web series set to premiere on OTT platforms this week. OTT Releases: Films/Web Series Aham Reboot Starring Sumanth as the lead, "Aham Reboot" quietly made its way to OTT. This psychological thriller, directed by Prashant Sagar Atluri, skipped theaters and started streaming on Aha from June 30. The movie, which was experimentally crafted with a single character and set against the backdrop of a radio show in one room, promises an intense experience. Sasi Madhanam The Telugu web series "Sasi Madhanam," a romantic love drama, is ready to stream this week. It will be available on the ETV Win platform from July 4. Pawan Siddhu and Sonia play the main roles, having already become popular for their work together in several short films. Their chemistry is reportedly also off-screen, which might add an extra layer of intrigue to the series in "Sasi Madhanam." Mirzapur Season 3 The Mirzapur series is well-known for its massive popularity on Amazon Prime. The previous two seasons, released not just in Hindi but also in various South Indian languages, have been highly successful. This week, "Mirzapur Season 3" is set to premiere. Available in Hindi, Telugu, and other South Indian languages starting July 5, the new season continues from where the last one ended. Guddu (Ali Fazal) has taken over the throne of Mirzapur after the death of Munna (Divyendu Sharma). The season explores how Guddu governs Mirzapur and deals with local gangs that attempt to challenge his authority.

      Kalki 2898 AD Day 2 Collections
      Kalki 2898 AD Day 2 Collections
      The film "Kalki 2898 AD," directed by Nag Ashwin starring Prabhas, is successfully being showcased globally. Released in theaters worldwide on June 27, the film is creating a storm at the box office, with house-full boards lighting up across the country. On its opening day, the movie grossed a sensational Rs. 191.50 crores, drawing all eyes to its second-day performance. Let's now look at how it fared on the second day. How much did it collect on Day 2? Vyjayanthi Movies officially announced the second-day collections of "Kalki 2898 AD." After bagging Rs. 191.5 crores on the first day, the film managed to gather Rs. 298.5 crores (GROSS) worldwide over two days, as stated by the makers who also posted a special poster on social media to mark the occasion. According to the producers, "Kalki" continued its strong performance by adding another Rs. 107 crores (GROSS) on the second day. However, compared to the first day's collections, there was a significant drop of 80% in the revenues. This downturn has led to disappointment among Prabhas’s fans as the film failed to reach the anticipated Rs. 350 crores mark within the first two days, barely crossing Rs. 300 crores instead. First Day All-Time Record The film "Kalki" has created a sensation in North America, winning over audiences with the performances of Prabhas and other leading actors. In this region, "Kalki" set an all-time record by earning $3.8 million from the premieres on its opening day, marking the highest first-day collection ever achieved by an Indian film in North America. This milestone placed "Kalki" at the top, followed by "RRR" (which made $3.46 million), "Salaar" ($2.6 million), and "Baahubali 2" ($2.45 million) in the subsequent positions. RRR's Record Remains Safe! According to trade experts, "Kalki 2898 AD" could not surpass the record set by "RRR," which remains the top-grossing Indian film on day one with Rs. 223 crores (GROSS). "Kalki" ended its first day with Rs. 180 crores, failing to break the record held by "Baahubali 2," which is in second place with Rs. 217 crores. However, "Kalki" did surpass other major films like "KGF 2" (Rs. 164.5 crores), "Salaar" (Rs. 158 crores), "Adipurush" (Rs. 136.8 crores), and "Saaho" (Rs. 125.6 crores), securing its place in the top three. Impact of Match on Collections! The promotional efforts for "Kalki 2898 AD" fell short compared to films like "Baahubali 2" and "RRR." Greater promotional activities could have potentially led to new box office records. Additionally, the T-20 World Cup match between India and England on Thursday evening (June 27) diverted the audience’s attention, negatively impacting the film's collections on its opening day. The fact that it was a working day also affected the revenue. With the World Cup final scheduled for today (June 29), there's a possibility of further impacts on the movie's third-day collections.

      Unveiling the Mystique of 'Kalki 2898 AD', a Cinematic Marvel
      Unveiling the Mystique of 'Kalki 2898 AD', a Cinematic Marvel
      The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, has generated global buzz, with predictions of becoming a super hit. It has impressed audiences worldwide with its Hollywood-level visuals and the actors' remarkable transformations. Achieving this success required significant effort from the Kalki team. As the film continues to draw special attention, let's delve into some secrets behind 'Kalki 2898 AD'. 40 years later It is well known that Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan played major roles in 'Kalki 2898 AD'. Amitabh portrayed Ashwatthama and Kamal Haasan as the antagonist Supreme Yashkin. Remarkably, this film marks nearly 40 years since they last acted together, their previous collaboration being the 1985 film 'Geraftaar'. After 4 decades, they have reunited for 'Kalki'. Kamal’s New Getup Kamal Haasan's appearance in 'Kalki 2898 AD' is quite unique and distinct. Numerous looks were considered in the process of finalizing his appearance, none of which initially satisfied director Nag Ashwin. Eventually, the Kalki team consulted Hollywood makeup experts in Los Angeles, leading to the final look that Kamal Haasan sports in the film. 5 hours for Makeup Ashwatthama's look in the movie has also greatly impressed the audience. Amitabh Bachchan, at 81, has brilliantly embodied this character. The makeup for Ashwatthama took about three hours to apply and an additional two hours to remove, totaling five hours dedicated solely to makeup, according to the film unit. ₹4 crores for Bujji The futuristic vehicle 'Bujji', ridden by Prabhas in 'Kalki', was a significant endeavor by the film unit. It was developed with the cooperation of the Mahindra Research Valley team and Jayam Auto Engineering in Coimbatore. Reportedly, around ₹4 crores were spent just on this car. 700 VFX Shots Director Nag Ashwin created three futuristic worlds in 'Kalki': Kashi, Shambala, and a complex. Kashi is depicted as lifeless, Shambala as a refugee zone, and the complex as resource-rich. To showcase these, the film extensively used VFX, employing around 700 VFX shots. Hollywood VFX 'Kalki 2898 AD' is being talked about as a visual wonder, thanks to the involvement of Hollywood-level VFX companies. The VFX team that has worked on major Hollywood films like Harry Potter, Interstellar, Dune, and Blade Runner worked on 'Kalki'. Record-breaking Budget 'Kalki 2898 AD' stands as the film with the highest budget in Indian cinema history, with production costs reportedly exceeding ₹600 crores. According to trade sources, a significant portion of this budget was spent not just on actor salaries and sets, but predominantly on high-quality visuals and advanced VFX. https://telugu.yousay.tv/en/kalki-2898-ad-movie-review-an-epic-sci-fi-saga-starring-prabhas-and-an-ensemble-cast.html
