Let me explain why Indian audience is damn eager for this: In Hinduism, there are 4 Yugas (Eras). Satya Yuga (Golden Age) Treta Yuga (Silver Age) Dwapar Yuga (Copper Age) and Kali Yuga (Iron Age). The level of wickedness, badness and misery in world increases in every consecutive Yuga. As years pass, one Yug ends and another begins. Ramayan happened in Treta Yug. Mahabharat happened in Dwapar Yug. Currently we are in the Kali Yug (2024 AD). Now the interesting part, The Yugas aren't linear, they are in a circle like a clock, the end of Kali Yug would begin the Satya Yug. But as Satya Yuga is the holiest of all and Kaliyug the unholiest, the transition of these two Yugas won't be the same as the other pairs. When this happens, the Universe will face an entire wipe out and only the good souls will survive that will carry on the Satya Yuga once again. It is like a circle of life.What begins will end, and the end will bring a new beginning! There are more details of each Yuga in ancient Indian Scriptures (Vedaas, Puraanas, etc.), how they were, what were the timelines, how were the humans then, etc. Now, coming to the movie... You need to know that in these four Yugas, to maintain the balance and prove the victory of goodness vs evil (Dharma vs Adharma), Lord Vishnu, the Proprietor of the Universe incarnates in the mortal world for 10 times, called the 10 Avatars or Dashavatar (There are many more but 10 are mainly known in the Scriptures). Here are the 10 avatars of Lord Vishnu in order: 1. Matsya: The fish avatar, said to have rescued the first man, Vaivasvata Manu, and the seven sages during the great flood. 2. Kurma: The tortoise avatar, who helped the gods and demons churn the ocean of milk to obtain the nectar of immortality. 3. Varaha: The boar avatar, who rescued the goddess Earth from the demon Hiranyaksha. 4. Narasimha: The half-man, half-lion avatar, who killed the demon Hiranyakashyap. 5. Vamana: The dwarf avatar, who defeated the demon king Mahabali. 6. Parashurama: The axe-wielding avatar, who destroyed the demon king Kartavirya Arjuna and his sons. 7. Rama: The prince of Ayodhya, who defeated the demon king Ravana and his brother Kumbhakarna. 8. Krishna: The divine prince of Mathura, who defeated the demon king Kansa and his allies. 9. Buddha: The enlightened one, who taught the path of non-violence and self-realization. 10. Kalki: The future avatar, who is said to appear at the end of the Kali Yuga to bring about a new era of peace and prosperity. Note: Some sources may vary in their listing of the avatars, but the above is the most commonly accepted order. Avatar is an Indian (Sanskrit) word. Dharma means righteousness and not religion here!. You guys must have heard about Shree Ram, Shree Krishn and The Buddha. They were the 7th, 8th and 9th Avatars of Lord Vishnu. Depending on necessities, He incarnated with different qualities and forms. In Treta Yug, Shree Ram established Dharma by defeating Ravan and establishing Ram Rajya, the rule of peace. In Dwapar Yug, Shree Krishn defeated Kans to protect his region, and his role in the Great Mahabharat to establishDharm is known by you. Interestingly, till today, only 9 Avatars have been born and completed their goals. The 10th and last avatar of Lord Vishnu was prophecised to come at the end of Kali Yug to establish Dharm once again and this destruction will start the Satya Yuga once again. The name of this Avatar will be Kalki. Even the birthplace and names of parents are mentioned in the Holy Scriptures of Hinduism. This movie is based on the place, where Shambhapur will see the birth of Kalki (in the womb of Deepika). Amitabh Bachchan's character is of Ashwatthama, one of the 7 Chiranjeevi of the world, who was cursed by Shree Krishn at the end of Mahabharat to be Chiranjeevi and suffer. He and the other 6 Chiranjeevi including Hanuman will pave the way for Kalki to reach his destination to defeat Kali, the demon. The Chiranjeevi are a group of seven immortals in Hindu Scriptures, who are said to have lived for thousands of years and are believed to possess supernatural powers. (Immortal in the scene thatthey have long life span not unkillable, btw they are very strong, super human strong like the super man so it's very unlikely that anyone can kill them!) According to Hindu scriptures, these immortals will remain alive until the end of the Kali Yuga, the current era of time. The 7 Chiranjeevi: 1. Parashurama: The sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu, known for his knowledge of all astras and shastras. He is said to reemerge at the end of time to be the martial guru of Kalki, the final avatar of Lord Vishnu. 2. Ashwatthama: The son of Dronacharya, a great warrior and teacher. He was gifted with a gem on his forehead by Lord Shiva and possesses divine powers. 3. Hanuman: The devoted follower of Lord Rama and a key figure in the Ramayana. He is said to be immortal and will remain alive until the end of the Kali Yuga. 4. Kripa: A great warrior and a teacher of the Pandavas. He is said to possess supernatural powers and is believed to be immortal. 5. Vibhishana: The brother of Ravana and the king of Lanka. He is said to have been given the blessing of a long life by Lord Rama and will remain alive until the end of the Kali Yuga. 6. Bali: A king of the asuras and a great devotee of Lord Vishnu. He is said to be immortal and will remain alive until the end of the Kali Yuga. 7. Vyasa: A great sage and the author of the Mahabharata and the Puranas. He is said to be immortal and will remain alive until the end of the Kali Yuga. These seven immortals are believed to possess supernatural powers and are said to play a crucial role in the events leading up to the end of the Kali Yuga and the beginning of the Satya Yuga, the next era of time. This movie has the backdrop of a very core subject which is close to us Indians and that's why, people will definitely appreciate it. I'll say a very interesting fact at the last: 1. It is believed that in Satya Yuga, good and evil were in different worlds, Devta (Demigods) in Devlok and Asuras (demons) in Asurlok... 2. In Treta Yug, good and evil were in same world, Shree Ram and Ravan 3. In Dwapar Yug, good and evil were in the same family, Pandavas and Kauravas. 4. In Kali Yug, good and evil are in the same person, our own thoughts! THIS IS A VERY BIG LESSON I BELIEVE!
i am going to see this on wednesday jun 26 because that is the only IMAX showing and this movie needs to be seen in IMAX. i too have not a clue what this movie is about but i can't wait to see it.
The old guy is Ashwatthama (played by Megastar Amitabh Bachchan) who was cursed by Lord Krishna for immortality and life of diseases and peril. As per Hindu mythology Mahabharata, the curse was for attacking the womb of Uttarya, giving birth to Parikhshit. He killed Dronacharya in the battle of Kurukshetra (you can see the elephant and war visuals). Sumati (played by Deepika Padukone) is SUM-80 here, who is giving birth to KALKI - 10th and final avatar of Lord Vishnu - who will start a new dawn. Ashwathama is protecting her from Bhairava (played by Prabhas) who is bounty hunter. He wants to go to complex for 1 million units by catching her and giving to Kali and the bad guys in Complex. Ashwathama wants to end the curse and help her protect her child to start the new dawn. Also, end the aftermaths of his 6000 years old actions in Mahabharata. Basically he is alive for 6,000 years.
It's basically a 7000+ year old prediction, that the final descent/avatar of God on earth to protect the weak, destroy the unjust and start a new prosperous age. According to Indian culture, in the ancient scripts of Hindu, God has descended on earth 9 times. That's why you see Hindus pray to all those Gods. This would be the final avatar/descent of God on earth. His name would be KALKI. But the trailer doesn't reveal who is Kalki and is kept suspense until we watch the movie. Also, the immortals from all the 9 ages will join Kalki to destroy the unjust from the earth permanentely. One of them is Ashwathaama, played by Amitab Bachan who is a legendary actor. Yet to know what character(from the scrptures) is being played by Prabhas, who is the hero of this movie.
This is what I heard from the director's interview. He is influenced by star wars, dune, halo, blade runner and most importantly the kalki purana. I really like the fact that the kali [you can say ugliness of human nature] is more than evil bad guy. He wants to create a new world that is twisted form of satya yuga [age of righteousness] where people won't lie or harm one and other but not out of freewill but because they are too afraid to disobey
Kali isn't just one evil guy it's like all evil present amounts human. You can kill an evil person but it's hard to smt that is not alive and can't be seen or touched. Like the concept of evil of sauron in the LOTR.
Little info about the director -> Just his 3rd film in his entrie career. Won a National award for best director to his 2nd movie "Mahanati". A simple looking guy with brilliant brain.
FYI: Amitabh is the legendary Indian actor as is Kamal Hassan who is iconic in south Indian cinema. Amitabh appeared in Great Gatsby with Decaprio. Deepika appeared in XXD with Vin Diesel.
This movie is about the prophecy thatvwas made after the end of Mahabharat was which maked the beginning of Kaliyug about 5000 years ago. Kaliyug is basically an era where evil keeps raising untill Lord Kalki who is the last avatar of Vishnu will take birth to destroy Kali the king od kaliyug. Kali is omnipresent even today (funfact they say he controlled hitler) There are 7 cheeranjeeves (immortals) since living amongst us since the beginning of Kaliyug waiting for Kalkis arival. Ashwaththama played by amitabh is one of them teying to protect Sum-80 (Sumati) and the child she will give birth to is Kalki. Bhairava is lord Shiva's avatar who's companion is a dog. Thats the last sceane where you see bujji the car transform into a dog like machine.
The story behind this movie is inspired from Hindu scriptures that there was a war happened in 3102bc named mahabhrat where a character called aswathama (role of Amitabh Bachchan or that old man) where he was cursed by Lord krishna with immortality as punishment for trying to kill a unborn baby and there was a gem in his forhead which give him powers. So kalki which is an avatar of Lord vishnu (who is protector and preserver of universe) born in after 6000 years of mahabharat to end the kali yuga or saved humanity. - this is just I give short information to understand trailer
Vishnu in Hindu theology is supposed to descend to earth in 10 avatars. 9 of them have already come, 10th is Kalki. The last one was Krishna, which helped humanity transcend from Tretayug(last age of avatar) to Kaliyug(current age in which we are living). The mega war which happened in treta yug was Mahabharata. This story is loosely based interpretation of what’s happening between TretaYug and Kaliyug before Kalki takes birth and helps defeat all evil and start the cycle of new age ( Satya yug) again. There’s a lot of lore material on this, like million verse epics
Yes brother I have read the Authentic Kalkipuran....till 4th chapter....and it will thrilling to watch the movie as Kalkipuran tells about life of Lord Kalki...the future..... the 10th avtaar of Lord Vishnu.
Don’t expect too much of direct representation of Kalki purana here, but yes I’m excited too for this, where do they take this with so much epic stuff available.
This is movie is inspired from what is said to be future of our world in ancient Indian scripts/myths, Kalki is the God said to be born after this era (Kalyug/the worst era where there's too much evil), & ofc adding Fiction to it
To fully appreciate the movie "Kalki," it's beneficial to be familiar with the ending of the Mahabharata, the epic story from which it draws inspiration. Specifically, understanding how Ashwatthama was cursed provides crucial background. In the Mahabharata's climax, Ashwatthama uses a divine (light) weapon, the Brahmastra, to attack Uttara's womb, killing her unborn child. This scene, along with others such as the elephant incident, are pivotal moments from the epic that are depicted in the "Kalki" trailer.
For context According to hindu religious sacred texts Bhagoavadgeeta its been prophesied ….lord kalki the 10th reincarnation of lord vishnu will born in city name shambala to destroy demon name kali…..will end with (kaliyuga) Kalki is described in the Puranas (ancient scriptures) as the avatar who rejuvenates existence by ending the darkest and destructive period to remove adharma (unrighteousness) and ushering in the Satya Yuga, while riding a white horse with a fiery sword. 7 cheeranjivis (immortals) Hanuman. Parshurama. Ashwathama. Vyasa. Vibhishana. Raja Bali. Kripacharya. Will help kalki in his conquest. They became immortal because some of them blessed and some of them cursed to suffer on this earth…they each have stories about them in Scriptures. You can find more information about kalki incarnation on internet
An interesting premise about Ashwatthama(played by Amitab Bacchan), In the trailer there is a shot where a light arrow strikes the womb of a woman that lighting is called bramhastra used by aswhattama during the epic battle Kururkshetra (The greatest war in Indian Mythology) and for that he carries a curse to till date, Now he was trying to save the baby in the womb, which can be classified as his redemption.
Here's the premise: In 2898 AD, the desertified city of Kasi is now the only city known to exist, ruled by a totalitarian elite, led by Supreme Yaskin, from a hovering inverted-pyramidal-megastructure above the city known as the "Complex". Set against the backdrop of Indian mythology and a dystopian society, the story chronicles the journey spanning millennia, from the events of the Mahabharata in the year 3102 BC, the beginning of Kali Yuga, to 2898 AD. The core of the narrative revolves around the enigmatic figure of Kalki, the tenth and final avatar of the Hindu deity, Vishnu. It is being planned to be released in Telugu and Hindi, with dubbed versions in Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and English.
As an Indian i can see a lot of money is being put on this film but unless they really have a good story these types of films will never work here and i don't really have any hope for this. This could really turn into a disaster here if all the serious things end up looking goofy.
I watched animated prelude what I liked about it is that - it showed me a lot without telling me. I wish most sci fi movies do this instead. I think nag being influenced by blade runner and dune is good because denis is the only modern director who gets sci fi right.
It is mix of Indian mythology and sci fi, according to hindu epics lord vishnu will tkse his final incarcation in form of kalki, an dthis movies is all about her mother who will give birth to kalki and she need to protected from evil forces old man u see is amitabh bacchan playing ashwathwa
That younger aaswathma holding the sigil while on knees facing back to camera is Epic shot. So much details into that one scene/shot. Hope you like the movie. Cheers ✌️
A 6000 year old warrior is trying to help the mother of Kalki survive a bounty hunter who wants to go to the "complex" by delivering the mother to the alien hunter of the human race
There are 4 yugas in hindu religion We are living in the the kali yuga & this movie shows a distant future, a dystopia where a evil entity kali conquered the world Now lord Vishnu's avatar Kalki will come to earth & defeat kali Then the satya yuga will begin Kali means quarrel & satya means truth So the age of evil will end & the age of truth will begin Amitabh Bachchan's character (aswathama) is a chiranjibi(immortal), who is cursed with immortality because of his actions in mahabharat battle in dwapara yuga He is cursed & now he will redeem himself in kali yuga
Watch the 2 episode prelude the director of this movie uploaded on this same channel of the trailer. There are english versions of the prelude and gives you a basic understanding.
I think this is from indian cinema from tollywood? hero prabhas from tollywood and some actors from Bollywood, i have searched this is from tollywood, comment for me if this right, love from Africa
It’s a South Indian Mythological Science Fiction Movie and it’s named Kalki 2898 that takes place in 2898 after the Mahabharata war or the last Super Great War in Indian History and this movie takes place a while after that in 2848 and the villain his name is Kali and the hero his name Is Kalki/Bhairava the associate his name is ashwathamma played by amithabh Bachann this is a high level Hindu mythological science fiction movie which will definitely be the summer blockbuster of this year Prabhas is the main lead he’s the main in the role of Bhairava/Kalki and the rest needs to be seen on screen the 10th and final incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu and Kali who is a super powerful super demon these two will fight at the end of this current universe and it is the main focus of this movie
This is a story which spans 6000 years...the tall guy is aswathama, from Mahabharata.who is cursed to stay immortal untill the last reincarnation of God appears on earth at the end of this yuga... The pregnant lady in white on a balcony who was shot by a arrow was uttara ..the wife of Abhimanyu, lord Krishna nephew.. In her womb lives the last heir of Pandavas from Mahabharata...when abhimanyu tries to kill yhat unborn child .. Krishna cursed him.. That last incarnation of lord Vishnu is Kalki who is in the womb of dipika... Everyone dying to save this unborn child..while Kali the evil aka Kamal Hasan tries to kill the baby even before it's born... Here abhimanyu the og of villains in Mahabharata who tries to kill the last heir of earth even before his birth ...now after 6000 years he again tries to sabe the last incarnation of the god to save the earth... Thats karma for you
Okay, knowing probably less than you know (and before any of your comments), I'm gonna say this is "Dune by Bollywood." I reserve the right to chg my mind after I know more.
Hey please react to another Indian si-fi , comedy movie called Gaganachari. A dystopian comedy that takes place in the 2040's, where an apartment inhabited by three problematic bachelors soon becomes a haven for an extra-terrestrial female fugitive.
you can just check out the couple of episodes of BTS and concept explanations posted by the official channel. They're available in english too.. They explained the whole lore and world building perfectly
dipika name sumati mother of lord kalki there is old man with yellow stone middle of forhad is name Aswadhama had Hight of 12 fit that stone give supernatural powers protect from disease , hunger healing , etc.5000 lord Krishna taken away the stone curse her live with pain to end of time because there is past Mahabharata seen he break the rule of war try to kill baby in mother womb
Brother just read this u will understand our Indian mythology.....we have 3primary creators of the world according to puranas(old books)one of them is maha Vishnu....there are 4yugas which end by apocalypses...now we r in last Yuga ...soo lord vishnu comes on the earth everytime when the earth is filled with a great evil which destroys humans and mankind.....until now we had 8such avatar in the past 3yugas and if you heard budha he is 9th and still at the end of this Yuga the 4th one we believe when the world is filled with darkness Vishnu takes the avatar in human form as kalki.....which is the main concept of the film...who is the stomach of Deepika.....soo kali purush played by Kamal Hassan is the evil in this Yuga ....kalki will kill all the evil and later on the last apocalypse and yugas will run on cycle...we have no idea which cycle is this....hope u got this?❤️🔥
THANK YOU! Because of you, I REACT to the Prelude and World videos HERE: th-cam.com/video/AIuXP06P18Y/w-d-xo.html
Let me explain why Indian audience is damn eager for this: In Hinduism, there are 4 Yugas (Eras). Satya Yuga (Golden Age) Treta Yuga (Silver Age) Dwapar Yuga (Copper Age) and Kali Yuga (Iron Age).
The level of wickedness, badness and misery in world increases in every consecutive Yuga. As years pass, one Yug ends and another begins.
Ramayan happened in Treta Yug. Mahabharat happened in Dwapar Yug. Currently we are in the Kali Yug (2024 AD).
Now the interesting part, The Yugas aren't linear, they are in a circle like a clock, the end of Kali Yug would begin the Satya Yug. But as Satya Yuga is the holiest of all and Kaliyug the unholiest, the transition of these two Yugas won't be the same as the other pairs. When this happens, the Universe will face an entire wipe out and only the good souls will survive that will carry on the Satya Yuga once again. It is like a circle of life.What begins will end, and the end will bring a new beginning!
There are more details of each Yuga in ancient Indian Scriptures (Vedaas, Puraanas, etc.), how they were, what were the timelines, how were the humans then, etc.
Now, coming to the movie... You need to know that in these four Yugas, to maintain the balance and prove the victory of goodness vs evil (Dharma vs Adharma), Lord Vishnu, the Proprietor of the Universe incarnates in the mortal world for 10 times, called the 10 Avatars or Dashavatar (There are many more but 10 are mainly known in the Scriptures).
Here are the 10 avatars of Lord Vishnu in order:
1. Matsya: The fish avatar, said to have rescued the first man, Vaivasvata Manu, and the seven sages during the great flood.
2. Kurma: The tortoise avatar, who helped the gods and demons churn the ocean of milk to obtain the nectar of immortality.
3. Varaha: The boar avatar, who rescued the goddess Earth from the demon Hiranyaksha.
4. Narasimha: The half-man, half-lion avatar, who killed the demon Hiranyakashyap.
5. Vamana: The dwarf avatar, who defeated the demon king Mahabali.
6. Parashurama: The axe-wielding avatar, who destroyed the demon king Kartavirya Arjuna and his sons.
7. Rama: The prince of Ayodhya, who defeated the demon king Ravana and his brother Kumbhakarna.
8. Krishna: The divine prince of Mathura, who defeated the demon king Kansa and his allies.
9. Buddha: The enlightened one, who taught the path of non-violence and self-realization.
10. Kalki: The future avatar, who is said to appear at the end of the Kali Yuga to bring about a new era of peace and prosperity.
Note: Some sources may vary in their listing of the avatars, but the above is the most commonly accepted order.
Avatar is an Indian (Sanskrit) word. Dharma means righteousness and not religion here!.
You guys must have heard about Shree Ram, Shree Krishn and The Buddha. They were the 7th, 8th and 9th Avatars of Lord Vishnu. Depending on necessities, He incarnated with different qualities and forms. In Treta Yug, Shree Ram established Dharma by defeating Ravan and establishing Ram Rajya, the rule of peace. In Dwapar Yug, Shree Krishn defeated Kans to protect his region, and his role in the Great Mahabharat to establishDharm is known by you. Interestingly, till today, only 9 Avatars have been born and completed their goals. The 10th and last avatar of Lord Vishnu was prophecised to come at the end of Kali Yug to establish Dharm once again and this destruction will start the Satya Yuga once again. The name of this Avatar will be Kalki. Even the birthplace and names of parents are mentioned in the Holy Scriptures of Hinduism. This movie is based on the place, where Shambhapur will see the birth of Kalki (in the womb of Deepika). Amitabh Bachchan's character is of Ashwatthama, one of the 7 Chiranjeevi of the world, who was cursed by Shree Krishn at the end of Mahabharat to be Chiranjeevi and suffer. He and the other 6 Chiranjeevi including Hanuman will pave the way for Kalki to reach his destination to defeat Kali, the demon.
The Chiranjeevi are a group of seven immortals in Hindu Scriptures, who are said to have lived for thousands of years and are believed to possess supernatural powers. (Immortal in the scene thatthey have long life span not unkillable, btw they are very strong, super human strong like the super man so it's very unlikely that anyone can kill them!)
According to Hindu scriptures, these immortals will remain alive until the end of the Kali Yuga, the current era of time.
The 7 Chiranjeevi:
1. Parashurama: The sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu, known for his knowledge of all astras and shastras. He is said to reemerge at the end of time to be the martial guru of Kalki, the final avatar of Lord Vishnu.
2. Ashwatthama: The son of Dronacharya, a great warrior and teacher. He was gifted with a gem on his forehead by Lord Shiva and possesses divine powers.
3. Hanuman: The devoted follower of Lord Rama and a key figure in the Ramayana. He is said to be immortal and will remain alive until the end of the Kali Yuga.
4. Kripa: A great warrior and a teacher of the Pandavas. He is said to possess supernatural powers and is believed to be immortal.
5. Vibhishana: The brother of Ravana and the king of Lanka. He is said to have been given the blessing of a long life by Lord Rama and will remain alive until the end of the Kali Yuga.
6. Bali: A king of the asuras and a great devotee of Lord Vishnu. He is said to be immortal and will remain alive until the end of the Kali Yuga.
7. Vyasa: A great sage and the author of the Mahabharata and the Puranas. He is said to be immortal and will remain alive until the end of the Kali Yuga.
These seven immortals are believed to possess supernatural powers and are said to play a crucial role in the events leading up to the end of the Kali Yuga and the beginning of the Satya Yuga, the next era of time.
This movie has the backdrop of a very core subject which is close to us Indians and that's why, people will definitely appreciate it.
I'll say a very interesting fact at the last: 1. It is believed that in Satya Yuga, good and evil were in different worlds, Devta (Demigods) in Devlok and Asuras (demons) in Asurlok...
2. In Treta Yug, good and evil were in same world, Shree Ram and Ravan
3. In Dwapar Yug, good and evil were in the same family, Pandavas and Kauravas.
4. In Kali Yug, good and evil are in the same person, our own thoughts! THIS IS A VERY BIG LESSON I BELIEVE!
Brother. That is an excellent explanation. Definitely gives a good idea about the world and its source of inspiration.
Man you wrote a book instead of comment. Ya that's how deep Hinduism is.
Great explanation
Great explanation ❤

Yes, i liked his Mahanati. It's astounding that it's just his 3rd project and at this grand level.
FYI: Amitabh is the legendary Indian actor as is Kamal Hassan who is iconic in south Indian cinema. Amitabh appeared in Great Gatsby with Decaprio. Deepika appeared in XXD with Vin Diesel.
Thanks buddy
This movie is about the prophecy thatvwas made after the end of Mahabharat was which maked the beginning of Kaliyug about 5000 years ago. Kaliyug is basically an era where evil keeps raising untill Lord Kalki who is the last avatar of Vishnu will take birth to destroy Kali the king od kaliyug. Kali is omnipresent even today (funfact they say he controlled hitler) There are 7 cheeranjeeves (immortals) since living amongst us since the beginning of Kaliyug waiting for Kalkis arival. Ashwaththama played by amitabh is one of them teying to protect Sum-80 (Sumati) and the child she will give birth to is Kalki. Bhairava is lord Shiva's avatar who's companion is a dog. Thats the last sceane where you see bujji the car transform into a dog like machine.
Then old man is of 6000+ years old .
He is an ancient warrior of Mahabharata
The story behind this movie is inspired from Hindu scriptures that there was a war happened in 3102bc named mahabhrat where a character called aswathama (role of Amitabh Bachchan or that old man) where he was cursed by Lord krishna with immortality as punishment for trying to kill a unborn baby and there was a gem in his forhead which give him powers. So kalki which is an avatar of Lord vishnu (who is protector and preserver of universe) born in after 6000 years of mahabharat to end the kali yuga or saved humanity.

This story is loosely based interpretation of what’s happening between TretaYug and Kaliyug before Kalki takes birth and helps defeat all evil and start the cycle of new age ( Satya yug) again. There’s a lot of lore material on this, like million verse epics
Yes brother I have read the Authentic Kalkipuran....till 4th chapter....and it will thrilling to watch the movie as Kalkipuran tells about life of Lord Kalki...the future..... the 10th avtaar of Lord Vishnu.
Don’t expect too much of direct representation of Kalki purana here, but yes I’m excited too for this, where do they take this with so much epic stuff available.
OSCAR FOR SOUND MIXING
You got that right
@@AustinBurkebruh not Oscar but yeah if it gets recognition like RRR in US it'll be not less than oscar

This is movie is inspired from what is said to be future of our world in ancient Indian scripts/myths, Kalki is the God said to be born after this era (Kalyug/the worst era where there's too much evil), & ofc adding Fiction to it
To fully appreciate the movie "Kalki," it's beneficial to be familiar with the ending of the Mahabharata, the epic story from which it draws inspiration. Specifically, understanding how Ashwatthama was cursed provides crucial background. In the Mahabharata's climax, Ashwatthama uses a divine (light) weapon, the Brahmastra, to attack Uttara's womb, killing her unborn child. This scene, along with others such as the elephant incident, are pivotal moments from the epic that are depicted in the "Kalki" trailer.
For context
According to hindu religious sacred texts Bhagoavadgeeta its been prophesied ….lord kalki the 10th reincarnation of lord vishnu will born in city name shambala to destroy demon name kali…..will end with (kaliyuga)
Kalki is described in the Puranas (ancient scriptures) as the avatar who rejuvenates existence by ending the darkest and destructive period to remove adharma (unrighteousness) and ushering in the Satya Yuga, while riding a white horse with a fiery sword.
7 cheeranjivis (immortals)
Hanuman.
Parshurama.
Ashwathama.
Vyasa.
Vibhishana.
Raja Bali.
Kripacharya.
Will help kalki in his conquest.
They became immortal because some of them blessed and some of them cursed to suffer on this earth…they each have stories about them in Scriptures.
You can find more information about kalki incarnation on internet
An interesting premise about Ashwatthama(played by Amitab Bacchan), In the trailer there is a shot where a light arrow strikes the womb of a woman that lighting is called bramhastra used by aswhattama during the epic battle Kururkshetra (The greatest war in Indian Mythology) and for that he carries a curse to till date, Now he was trying to save the baby in the womb, which can be classified as his redemption.
Here's the premise:
In 2898 AD, the desertified city of Kasi is now the only city known to exist, ruled by a totalitarian elite, led by Supreme Yaskin, from a hovering inverted-pyramidal-megastructure above the city known as the "Complex". Set against the backdrop of Indian mythology and a dystopian society, the story chronicles the journey spanning millennia, from the events of the Mahabharata in the year 3102 BC, the beginning of Kali Yuga, to 2898 AD. The core of the narrative revolves around the enigmatic figure of Kalki, the tenth and final avatar of the Hindu deity, Vishnu.
It is being planned to be released in Telugu and Hindi, with dubbed versions in Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and English.
This movie is from film industry named tollywood means Telugu which made rrr bahuballi kinda big movies this is another big thing
As an Indian i can see a lot of money is being put on this film but unless they really have a good story these types of films will never work here and i don't really have any hope for this. This could really turn into a disaster here if all the serious things end up looking goofy.
We've had norse , Egyptian, Chinese mythology but didn't had hindu mythology we've got it now
IM SO EXCITED GOOD LORD
I watched animated prelude what I liked about it is that - it showed me a lot without telling me. I wish most sci fi movies do this instead. I think nag being influenced by blade runner and dune is good because denis is the only modern director who gets sci fi right.
I think this is going to change indian cinima 🔥
Directors previous work : Mahanati. Just in one word ART an insane ART
watch kalki prelude episode videos to get more clarity on story and kalki world
It is mix of Indian mythology and sci fi, according to hindu epics lord vishnu will tkse his final incarcation in form of kalki, an dthis movies is all about her mother who will give birth to kalki and she need to protected from evil forces old man u see is amitabh bacchan playing ashwathwa
That younger aaswathma holding the sigil while on knees facing back to camera is Epic shot. So much details into that one scene/shot. Hope you like the movie.
Cheers ✌️
Watch prelude episode in the channel of the trialer director is explaining about the moive and our history to understand moive
If you want the context of the movie then you should watch the prelude by the director!!
Seems like the visuals are perfect right austin?
Agreed!

this movie is like living another life for thoes who know the story of mahabharta 😍😍😍😍
A 6000 year old warrior is trying to help the mother of Kalki survive a bounty hunter who wants to go to the "complex" by delivering the mother to the alien hunter of the human race
There are 4 yugas in hindu religion
We are living in the the kali yuga
& this movie shows a distant future, a dystopia where a evil entity kali conquered the world
Now lord Vishnu's avatar Kalki will come to earth & defeat kali
Then the satya yuga will begin
Kali means quarrel & satya means truth
So the age of evil will end & the age of truth will begin
Amitabh Bachchan's character (aswathama) is a chiranjibi(immortal), who is cursed with immortality because of his actions in mahabharat battle in dwapara yuga
He is cursed & now he will redeem himself in kali yuga
Watch the 2 episode prelude the director of this movie uploaded on this same channel of the trailer.
There are english versions of the prelude and gives you a basic understanding.
I think this is from indian cinema from tollywood? hero prabhas from tollywood and some actors from Bollywood, i have searched this is from tollywood, comment for me if this right, love from Africa
When you say "Zack Snyder as graphics, I like it", that should keep Hollywood hooked! #ReleaseTheSnyderCut vibes

Okay, knowing probably less than you know (and before any of your comments), I'm gonna say this is "Dune by Bollywood." I reserve the right to chg my mind after I know more.

Brother just read this u will understand our Indian mythology.....we have 3primary creators of the world according to puranas(old books)one of them is maha Vishnu....there are 4yugas which end by apocalypses...now we r in last Yuga ...soo lord vishnu comes on the earth everytime when the earth is filled with a great evil which destroys humans and mankind.....until now we had 8such avatar in the past 3yugas and if you heard budha he is 9th and still at the end of this Yuga the 4th one we believe when the world is filled with darkness Vishnu takes the avatar in human form as kalki.....which is the main concept of the film...who is the stomach of Deepika.....soo kali purush played by Kamal Hassan is the evil in this Yuga ....kalki will kill all the evil and later on the last apocalypse and yugas will run on cycle...we have no idea which cycle is this....hope u got this?❤️🔥
