If you are unfamiliar with Mahabharat and Kaliyugam, I recommend refraining from watching the movie and spreading your negative opinions. The first half might seem slow initially, but it's crucial for understanding the characters and how Kaliyugam will influence people's perspectives. This movie is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology, depicting how human behavior evolves towards the end of the world. It's a visual treat for Indian cinema enthusiasts, featuring unprecedented VFX not seen in any other Indian film. Regarding Ashwatthama, he is portrayed as an immortal figure who has lived for ages, patiently awaiting the right moment. Prabhas himself didn't feel overshadowed by Amitabh sir, recognizing that in ancient mythology, such dynamics are intrinsic to the narrative.
