A user wrote, "The best thing about rewatching it on Netflix is that you can just skip the cringe Prabhas scenes.."
Another mentioned, "The best thing about Netflix is you can skip Prabha's part, he was so good in Bahubali but in Kalki his performance was poor, waiting for his comeback."
The third one mentioned, "Total waste of money and Deepika Padukone and Prabhas sheet waste of talent and resource."
#ArshadWarsi didn’t say anything wrong here. He didn’t like the character Prabhas was playing and one should be critical about that. Prabhas was literally a joker in #Kalki tbvh, he was having all cringy scenes in the film. #Prabhas pic.twitter.com/4ZwdX3Ezls

About Kalki
Kalki 2898 AD marks the first instalment in the Kalki Cinematic Universe. Set against the backdrop of 2898 AD, the film unfolds in the now-barren Kashi, deemed the first city in the world. Amid a dystopian era ruled by Supreme Yaskin, SUM80 rises like a dawn of hope as the bearer of Lord Kalki, the tenth and final avatar of Lord Vishnu, putting Yaskin's reign in jeopardy. But the big question still looms: will SUM80 be able to protect her life with the help of Bhairava, Ashwatthama, and a motley bunch of rebels from Shambhala? or will she fall prey to Yaskin's mysterious Project K?
Directed by Nag Ashwin, and produced by Priyanka Dutt, C. Aswani Dutt, and Swapna Dutt under the banner of Vyjayanthi Movies, Kalki 2989 AD features Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani, among many others, in pivotal roles. This action-adventure film is streaming now on Prime Video in Telugu with dubs in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam with subtitles in English.
