Kalki 2898 AD Meets Dune and Mad Max
One of the most intriguing aspects of Kalki 2898 AD is its futuristic take on the characters and themes from the Mahabharata. Imagine a world where Hindu mythological celestials exist in the future, reminiscent of Dune’s sprawling, desert landscapes and the chaotic, post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max. This fusion of ancient epics with futuristic sci-fi elements has left fans drawing parallels and making comparisons, enhancing the film’s mystique.
Star Wars And Mahabharata
Nag Ashwin put references from Mahabharata to the iconic Star Wars saga in Kalki as per some claims made by fans on X. The grand storytelling and battles have also been pointed out by fans who were able to relate between India’s ancient history-based book and George Lucas’ galactic adventures in his famous science-fiction franchise Star Wars. It has been called a great move by his fans on the fact that Ashwin Nag was able to make use of all these different factors into one storyline.
Hollywood Epics
The visual and thematic elements of Kalki 2898 AD have reminded viewers of several Hollywood epics. Dune which is all about rich intricate world-building and Alita: Battle Angel featuring both high-paced action-packed scenes and deep emotional storytelling aspects are similar to Kalki. However, fans find it noteworthy that despite the comparisons, Nag Ashwin’s loyalty to his script has distinguished Kalki as an unforgettable movie.
Game of Thrones Vibes
Yet another exciting similarity is the role played by Kamal Haasan in this film. In Kalki, fans say he looks a lot like Pyat Pree from Game of Thrones. This picture resemblance has led to debates and increased excitement creating more suspense for the movie. Aesthetic cross-over from an internationally renowned series into an Indian science fiction epic only raises prospects.
When Harry Potter Meets Kalki
The most whimsical comparison ever made was by those fans who likened elements of Harry Potter with Kalki. It makes a curious mix when one thinks of merging J.K Rowling’s magical world with that of Mahabharata’s mythological grandeur. And if that is really the case, Harry Potter fans are definitely in for a ride.
Kalki 2898 AD stars Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Hassan in lead roles. And that’s not all the movie also features cameos from 8 other actors. But don’t worry there are no spoilers here.
