This is how netizens reacted to the teaser

A user mentioned, "Not yet completed colour grading, casual blue mat VFX setting, not a complete CGI work (few effects like a clip art just for this glimpse).. They just showed us the complete camera work, that's it. Imagine if they finish all these things."

Another mentioned, "Dune + Star Wars = Project K".

Most of Prabhas's fans lauded the actor for his intense eyes, while a section of netizens said, that Kalki has influences of Star Wars and Marvel on the glimpse.
