Jolly LLB 3 star Arshad Warsi recently gave a candid and harsh review of the film *Kalki 2898 AD*. While he praised Amitabh Bachchan’s performance, he was less than impressed with Prabhas’ portrayal, comparing his look in the film to that of a ‘joker.’

In a recent conversation with Samdish Bhatia on his YouTube channel, Arshad Warsi was asked about the last movie he watched. He revealed that it was *Kalki 2898 AD* and did not hesitate to express his disappointment with the film. Despite his overall dissatisfaction, he couldn’t help but shower praise on Amitabh Bachchan, describing him as “unbelievable” and admiring the legendary actor’s presence on screen. Warsi marveled at Bachchan’s talent, saying, “I cannot understand that man. I swear, if we had his power, our lives would be set. He’s unreal.”

However, when it came to Prabhas, Warsi did not hold back his criticism. He expressed his sadness over Prabhas’ portrayal in the film, stating, “Prabhas, I am really sad. Why was he… he was like a joker. Why? I wanted to see a Mad Max. I wanted to see Mel Gibson over there. What have you done to him? I don’t understand why they do such things.”

During the same interview, Warsi praised Ranbir Kapoor and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film *Animal*, stating that he hadn’t seen anything like it before and calling it a “figment of a man’s imagination.” He emphasized that films are meant to entertain, not educate, and cited Marvel Studios’ *Avengers* as an example of creating a world that captivates audiences. He also acknowledged Anurag Kashyap’s unique filmmaking style, appreciating that Kashyap’s work doesn’t bore him but instead introduces him to a different world.

On the professional front, Arshad Warsi is gearing up for his next film, *Jolly LLB 3*, directed by Subash Kapoor. The comedy courtroom drama, also starring Akshay Kumar, Huma Qureshi, and Saurabh Shukla, is set to be released on April 10, 2025, and is backed by Cape of Good Films in collaboration with Disney.

How is the acting going? What is this new world that Nag Ashwin introduced to the public? Let’s find out in Kalki’s movie review.

Scary future

The movie “Kalki 2898 AD” opens with the dialogue “Aswatthama Hatah Kunjarah” on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. After losing his entire army in a war, Ashwatthama (Amitabh Bachchan) rages on the battlefield with endless rage after alienating his father. Ashwatthama performs the brahmastra to Abhimanyu’s wife Uttara (Malavika Nair) as revenge for the Pandavas who killed their entire people to have no heir. This causes the baby in North’s womb to die. Knowing this, Shri Krishna Paramatma (face not visible) enters the battlefield. Ashwatthama attacks Krishna saying, “Come Krishna. I am the abandoned one, will you finish me too?” He immediately stepped aside and said: “Aswatthama, you are paying for your sin. You aimed an arrow at the fetus in the womb. So I curse you without death. What do you think this curse is?” Until the end of Kali Yuga, you will walk on the mountain slopes like this. Rotten of your body, bleeding.. even if you don’t die” Krishna removes the bright turquoise from Ashwatthama’s forehead.

Ashwatthama asks if that is atonement or not. In Kaliugantham sins are excessive.. sacrifice and sacrifice also cease. the last drop of Ganges dries up.. where I see evil spreading.. then I take another incarnation. but I also have the power to prevent my birth. even if they are now trying to attack me, you should have protected me from Kali that day in my mother’s womb. When the time comes, this pearl will return to you,” says Krishna.

When the world is cut, after the 6000-year Kurukshetra, the world becomes dangerous in 2898 AD. Everywhere you look, people see water or food. Supreme Yaskin (Kamal Haasan) created a new empire called “Kompleks” (city), taking all the resources of the country and occupying all the towns. The supreme army is giving hell to the people of Kashi City. The high army of the city of Kashi treats the refugees like vermin. But the superior army takes the fertile (infantile) girls from the complex and experiments on them. It’s called Project K. The formula given by Supreme Yaskin is injected into the uterus of fertile girls. The highest guideline is to collect the serum from the uterus of a girl who can carry it for at least 120 days. But no girl can wear this formula even for 100 days. But Sumathi ( Deepika Padukone ), who works in that complex, carefully carries it for 150 days without anyone knowing about it.

On the other hand, Bhairava (Prabhas) keeps the units (money given for the work) only after its completion when the reward (as the work is called) comes. Bhairava is a rogue warrior who works for the side that gives more units. Bhairava desires to get a million units and set up in the complex anyway. His car “Buzzy” helps him. But on the other hand, some people are fighting for tomorrow against the complex in the mysterious city of Shambhala. They believe that there will always be a mother who knows God. One day the complex army comes to know that Sumathi was pregnant for 150 days and tries to take the serum from her. But the men of Shambhala rescue Sumati, who cunningly escaped from there, and try to take her to their city. With that, the complex rewards Sumathi, saying that if he is brought back, he will get unexpected items. With that, Bhairava leaves, hoping like the others to bring him back to the compound.

But Ashwatthama gets a hint that the time has come to save the mother who carries the Lord in her womb. At the same time, his mani reaches him. Ashwathama intervenes to save Sumati. And did Ashwatthama alone save Sumati from the complex army? Has Bhairav’s dream of taking Sumati back to the compound and reaching the units come true? What battle took place between Bhairava and Aswatthama who came to carry Sumati? Who is this Bhairava? Who won this battle? Did Sumati give birth to God? You have to see everything on screen.
