Kalki" struggles with a slow pace and dull narrative. Amitabh Bachchan, in the lead role, delivers a standout performance. The director's decision to include Prabhas in an extended cameo, likely to draw more viewers, backfires. The first half drags, and Prabhas's presence, coupled with his lackluster dialogue delivery, makes the film feel tedious. In contrast, the rest of the cast, including Disha Patani, perform admirably. Recognizing the film's weaknesses, the director tried to bolster it with numerous cameos, but this did little to maintain audience engagement. When Prabhas was on screen, many viewers seemed distracted. Overall, Amitabh Bachchan's exceptional performance is the film's saving grace.
