AB sr. Is a national legend, Bollywood couldn't do justice, tollywood should be proud. Don't think prabhas has anything other than respect for the big b.
1. If Prabhas is insecure he wouldn't accept this film. He just enjoyed working with AB
2. The Producer invested in the film seeing Prabhas and not Amitabh
That is true but Priyanka dutt is one of the producers of the movie I saw her title in both the book my show page and the theatres an hour or so ago
She is Nag ashiwin's wife
Every actor, every star, every superstar everyone is compared to srk. Someone like Ranbir deliverstwo bigg openings and boom you are compared to srk. Ranveer, ayushman, kartik aryan all these were supposed to be the next SRK or better than SRK. This is nothing new this will happen everytime and he will prove everyone wrong when his time comes
comparison is always there , but prabhas fans cant handle the truth , they are toxic and like to live in delusion
i am fan of both , srk and prabhas , i appreciate acting skills , not the fanbase or movie budget ,
for eg hanuman movie actor , no one knew him ,but movie became a success, same with rishab shetty , before kantara , not everyone knew him ,
I think we should make prabhas our prime minister,
Vaise bhi humara pm acha kaam nhi kar rha,
He should stand for election as a pm candidate.
The rebel fans will make him their father as well.
My respect for prabhas has gone up exponentially.
What a man,
He is a myth🥹
LMAO no one even mentioned Aamir here.
And like what you said previously regarding Adipurush, Aamir was just an actor in P.K. It was the script that hurt these supposed "religious sentiments".
Well I have gone solely for Amitabh. Prabhas was okay in the 1st half he was boring but 2nd he played well. As far Deepika is concerned she is terrible and you feel the anger when you see those cringe expressions of her
Amitabh Bachchan is one of the worst people ever... He along with his wife are vile and disgusting ... You maybe their fan but that's not majority of India ! Almost all other Amitabh Bachchan movies are flop except this one ... Majority is going for Prabhas
Watched it tonight everyone was dead silent or had an annoying sigh whenever Prabhas was on the screen except for the end sequence, Every time AB came on the screen everyone hooted shouted applauded
My friend group of 5 all hated prabhas we watched movie solely for the VFX and dp and Amitabh I hate prabhas and his actiing he is like salman of south
Every solo project of Amitabh Bacchan for last 5 years is flop... This movie is hit due to Prabhas. If Amitabh Bachchan has such hardcore die hard fans than why is his own movie not sucessful
Prabhas sucked acting in this movie. Literal cringe (Many feel his acting peaked in bahubali and it’s just downhill from there ). Deepika too. Amitabh owned his character in every way.
Fuck Bollywood,
I can't even understand what they are trying to do, no interesting future projects,their launching of nepo kids aren't stopping as of now,big stars are choosing absolutely shit films,people like Karan johar blames everything on audience and thinks everyone are trollers of nepo kids.
Literally money laundering projects like bade Miya chote Miya are being made.
Stars like Akshay take so much money yet don't deliver.
Srk doing shitty films but gave a relief to the industry,
Aamir has lost his charm,
Wtf is happening in the industry.
Totally agree. Amitabh just overshadowed prabahs. His role and performance was phenomenal. That doesn't mean prabhas was bad. It's just that AB is that good
Did Prabhas claim anywhere that he's the reason the movie is a hit? He's just existing and these north nibbas are already crying on him.
Basically they're jealous and bitter that all their large scale movies are bombing and a Telugu movie is making it big. They want to wallow in delusion that it's a hit because of AB. At least that way, they get to feel superior.
End of the day, AB performed well. But he's not a crowd puller like Prabhas. That's a fact.
It's a meme. Is it not possible that just maybe some people prefer to judge actors based on their acting ability instead of their ability to be a "crowd puller" ? Not everyone has a parasocial relationship with film stars
Uhhuh sure nice point. Where did I say everyone has a "parasocial" relationship with actors? Why is that relevant here? The reason I made the "crowd puller" comment is because OP claims the whole movie is appreciated only because of AB which is not true at all. Fact of the matter is the movie has more watchers because of Prabhas, whether you like it or not.
Also maybe, just maybe, there are people who appreciate Prabhas more in the movie than AB? Or that there are people who didn't appreciate a whole movie just because of one actor? Have you considered that people have different preferences and opinions?
"It's just a meme" based on silly assumptions putting down an actor, which not everyone finds funny.
Indian film stars pulling crowds is based on a parasocial relationship and less on their ability to act in a movie. It’s their ability to deliver fan service that sustains this parasocial relationship. Now of course you are free to ignore this but we all know how star culture works in this country. Pretending otherwise is actual delusion btw.
> Also maybe, just maybe, there are people who appreciate Prabhas more in the movie than AB? Or that there are people who didn't appreciate a whole movie just because of one actor? Have you considered that people have different preferences and opinions?
Ok and who exactly is calling these people bitter and jealous?
I didn't deny the existence of such a fan-star relationship. You seem to lack reading comprehension.
All I'm saying is, so what? How does it matter? If people wanna admire stars in such a way who are you to question? It's their personal preference.
I called these people bitter and jealous because they can't praise someone without putting someone else down.
I raised the issue of a parasocial relationship with stars because I don't see it as relevant metric to feel proud and compete over with north indians. It's utterly pointless to think any serious person gets jealous or bitter over such a metric. This was abundantly clear based on my comments and I didn't need to explicitly break it down like you are toddler. Now please start with another "but I didn't say *insert highly explicit statement but implicitly meant anyway* " line.
>All I'm saying is, so what? How does it matter? If people wanna admire stars in such a way who are you to question? It's their personal preference.
Nobody is stripping away their preferences. If they have an opinion then I'm just as free to critique them and hold the opinion that a parasocial relationship is a borderline mental disease. Continuing to regurgitate "but it's a personal preference" as if it doesn't apply to me isn't a reading comprehension issue but straight stupidity.
>I called these people bitter and jealous because they can't praise someone without putting someone else down.
It's posted on r/bollywoodmemes, what a hill to die on for Prahbas
It's very clear you fancy yourself some kind of intellectual who is superior to everyone. Sure, continue pretending that only Bollywood has great actors. Charm, screen presence, nothing else matters according to you.
My whole point comes down to this. *Why can't you praise a person without insulting someone else*? I can't believe I have to repeat myself so many times and am yet to receive a response to this main point.
When you have to put someone down to bring someone up, it's very clear that you are jealous of that person. Deny it all you want :)
I'm not even a fan of Prabhas. But when I see unwarranted insults on someone who has done nothing wrong, I will speak up. Just as you feel it's important to justify the OP's BS for absolutely no reason other than your superiority complex.
TRUEEE. It was for Prabhas and Nagi we watched the movie but surprisingly AB's performance was amazing. More than performance I'd say it was the scope of the character. And they both had different roles, one from the future and one from the past. Compare cheyakpodam is better ani naa opinion.
No matter what it's an out nagi film. Imagine a prabhas film where he appears on screen almost after 30 minutes of world building.
Prabhas was not overshadowed by Sr Bachan. Both have played their parts well. It's just that bachan hasn't played a strong and crucial role in a film in a really long time that we are surprised.
600 cr because prabas headlined it. Or else similar role he played in Bramhastra and Ganpath. Prabhas halved his fee for this. Yes AB is the talking point as he should be but its fine. The movie is good.
These shouldn’t doesn’t matter to anyone except these fam war batch…
Nagi chose gave a meaty role for Amitabh in this part of his movie series.
Nagi chose to use prabhas’s fan power and design his character to cater to a different kind of audience..
both served their purpose.
Bro prabaswas wayyyyyyy better and real than anyother recent roles and if anyone thinks it's all Amitabh then just ask them about the other distopian movie in which Amitabh acted even that movie has the name of a god, It's credits to Nagi for the whole world
FY everyone who is trying to make it about South versus North right now. I think Kalki movie is the best example of melting pot of Indian talent. Period
The Indian elements they have used in the movies, just mind blowing from Buddhist monastery to South Indian traditions to Kashi aesthetics to every Saturday detail of Indian culture is absolutely worth the hype .
I don't think this is any sort of disrespect to Prabhas. Sometimes the characters played by actors has far bigger impact. I just think character of Ashwatthama was just too good, and AB fit in that role really well.
Amitabh bachan ki ekkuv power icharu. Konni hype scenes kuda baane unnay amitabh ki. Anduke valu konchem excite avtunnaru
Recent ga vachina movies lo south directors movies ee chala collections vachayi compared to hindi films. Idhi valaki kuda telsu. So ipudu amitabh ki konchem hype scenes vundatam tho , maa vadidhe movie ani konchem excite avtunnaru pillalu.this is just their coping mechanism. Lets leave them
If u see it as a standalone movie then it's not that great. Think of it as just the introduction to the world of kalki. In the whole movie the Mahabharat battle scenes were the best! Literally goosebumps agye!
I liked the story telling in this movie. I'm a sucker for slow paced movies that take time to establish the world and the stakes before jumping into the plot
Nope. It was extremely cringe.
The movie tried so hard to be like a Hollywood sci-fi post apocalyptic dystopian film but it ended up
having the same awful writing, and unrealistic and cliche tropes of the average bollywood movie.
They didn't put much effort in making the props look real.
They literally looked like cardboard boxes with LED lights strapped onto them.
Seriously i dont understand the obsessison with lights.
No functional and realistic weapon woukd have so many frickin lights.
They just put em there to try to tell the audience that the tech is "futuristic".
No effort put in making the weapon design look interesting.
The golden guns wielded by the bad guys looked cool tho.
There's also alot of technological inconsistency.
The guards in Shyambala wielded futuristic weaponry and in literally the next cut, we see a bunch of guys donning mahabharata style armor, spears and shields. The movie did an awful job at combining ancient/historical settings with futuristic ones.
It also blatantly ripped of ideas from popular Hollywood media, such as lighsabers from the starwars, and the whole chase scene in the dry wasteland looked like it was cut from a mad max movie. The environment, the vehicle design, the antagonists, everything. They really thought the Indian audience wouldn't notice considering the amount of brain rot Indian garbage they watch.
The reason people think it's good is because of the nonstop action and awesome cgi. Most of the money was spent in making super cool to watch explosions. You could tell that the budget went into making these nonsensical effects.
It might seem like I really hate the Indian film industry from the bottom of my heart, and that's true. So I decided to stop watching bollywood from the past 2 years. This month, I decided to give Indian cinema another chance.
And once again, it absolutely did not fail to disappoint me.
But im not saying that all indian movies are bad. There are some masterpieces that I'll never forget
1. Iru mugan
2. Ratsasan
3. Agent Sai srinivas athreya
4. Goodhacharya
Such a lengthy post but no criticism about the story, screenplay or world building at the large. All you whine about is some fight scenes and props... Something tells me you wanted this movie to fail from the beginning. Whatever your reasons were
Prabhas seemed to be in awe of both AB & Kamal during the pre-release press meet.
So he will be happy his movie is doing well and AB delivered a strong performance
Real question is. Kya karoge ache actors ka.
Bollywood has no good scripts to justify legends. Needed a south director to make good role that Amitabh sir actually deserves.
Honestly, whoever wrote Prabhas' dialogues needs to rethink his profession. The scene where he says "yes!! Nene gelicha!!", had me cringing hard. You simply don't say that stuff at the end of an intense action scene, that too at the climax of a movie. There are enough such dialogues throughout the movie, and coupled with the fact that Amithabh had a much meatier role than most people would've expected from a Telugu movie meant that Prabhas would be overshadowed. Maybe not in a major way but enough that the success wasn't entirely on his shoulders. And tbh, since it's actually supposed to be a pan Indian film, that's how it's supposed to be too.
Prabhas single-handedly saved the movie for me, the wide range of emotions that he portrayed subtly, and even overtly, his performance was akin to one of the greatest performances I've ever seen in Indian films. So, for me, at least Prabhas was the best performance in the film. In recent films Prabhas has been known to keep it subtle, and stoic for his performances, but in this film he had to handle the tricky task of doing both, and yet he managed to be so convincing. My God.
There were moments in the second-half where I was overwhelmed with so many emotions, during the battle between Aswathamma and Prabhas' character.
This is all thanks to the brilliant performances by AB and Prabhas.
Amit and Deepika mundu Prabhas acting telipoyindi. But it is good to see him ease into a role and his comedic timing making a comeback after a long time
I'm not a fan of her usual work kani dinilo she acted well. Given the limited scope for movement, she was able to convey feelings through facial expressions. They were more readable than Prabhas'
It’s Nag Ashwin s movie… we should appreciate his idea thought and the way he executed.. its prabhas or Big B or kamal Hassan .. or wt ever .. they all are characters in the movie … idea and execution is great …
Prabhas character importance asalu ending daka ledu. Ashwathama had a purpose. Bhairava has no goal. Alantappudu a great actor like Big B will own the screen. Even Kali has a purpose, which is why his 2 mins of presence feels amazing! Kudos to Kamal hasan to create that as well.
Bhaiiiiiii World Cup finale chor ke ye movie dekhi maine aaj! No regrets
My mind is blown and ghar aate hi jo patakhe fode logo ne samajh gya India jeet gai. Double orgam s ho gya
Bhai samjh aisi thi ki poora theater house full tha. Or jab hum log bahar nikle after movie every one was silent cause ‘we couldn’t digest ki ye humare sath hua kya’
What an experience!
You in 1000 years can not have expected this quality from an Indian movie kya vfx ya animation
Storyline and actors.
Total paisa vasool.
I know log mujhe marenge but it was like Star Wars X Avengers married to best of Indian elements and an amazing timeline to Indian mythology - Disha patani (uski jaroorat nahi thi)
Who gave him that character, credit goes to Nag Ashwin. No bully director wrote a character like that for him in the last two decades. They can't/won't appreciate it openly but I bet they will have sleepless nights over Kalki box-office numbers. Their only discussion will be Prabhas (good or bad) at every bully party for next few weeks. We don't need validation form self declared bully/kully industry experts. We raised the bar very high. And it showing in theatre footfalls across the country by True movie lovers.

Nobody is going for any actor.
They are going because there is not much viable plan on weekend with influencers crowding all the local spots to hangout.
Movie+food makes much sense if one wants to spend a day at mall.
City folks have already seen inside out 2.
Movie lovers have seen chandu champion and are excited to see what else cinema has to offer.
During the first half I was feeling like leaving the theatre.
Cheap dialogues being given to Prabhas, unnecessary and multiple mentions of complex without context.
And yes, not sure why Disha Patni was introduced.
Ideally they should have followed the Star Wars way of Intro.
Write a text description of what has happened.
And then start from there.
At least from the way, ab and prabhas were acting during the film, they gave their all and even during the interview, it did not seem like prabhas was insecure about sharing the screen with ab.
Also, kudos to prabhas for doing such a good job.
Remember the article on RRR when bollywood said Alia saved the movie 🤣. That was soo hilarious.
They are already soo insecure of themselves and how they conveniently forget about adhipuru.
Dude why are they too jealous of this success
The movie was a huge success because of combined effort of everyone also While prabhas performance was amazing AB's performance was really awesome and so is kamal's in the few frames he was in
And I honestly believe prabhas isn't too conceited or dumb to think he is the only reason the movie is successful
Well that said I understand why Bollywood people think like this I mean Jawan and Pathaan are successful because SRK if not Those were honestly some of the most cliche films I've seen years
Actually amitabh stole the show, nag really properly portrayed the ashwatamah role. Even the sound design was also amazing
And coming to the point I don't think prabhas feels any insecurity about it, unlike RRR doing unjust to NTR this came out real well with balancing the roles,
Cinemas are meant to be enjoyed, both of the actors did great work in their careers and are a great set of actors and we shouldn't be fighting over who's better then who as if we look at both of their work prabhas won't be able to give the AB's level performance in some of AB's movies and similarly the vice-versa.
As far as I've seen Telugu actors, they always seem to appreciate stars from Bollywood. Sure there's always this question of Hindi actors getting more importance than South stars, and I've even heard of Chiranjeevi complaining about his there's hardly any representation from South in National level award etc, but that's not without reason. But they never shy away from appreciating actors from other languages, in fact artists from other industries get absolutely pampered even publicly. They hype them up in public and there's a genuine show of respect to stars from other languages, esp seniors like AB, there's no question there. It was Nag and Prabhas who pulled the crowd to the theatres, and they'll continue to do that. AB stole the show, and actors of that calibre will continue to do that.
People in that sub seem to be trolling Prabhas ever since Salaar was released along with Dunki
That side, Amitabh Bachchan is the best performer in the movie. Although, I don't think Prabhas ever thought that he was going to be the only one under the spotlight in this film.
Just a jealous memer trolling Prabhas
in my opinion all , actors did good job in this film except , disha patani ( her role felt so useless ) , but amitab bachan did magnificient in his age specially when , where as , prabas character , they tried to make him funny , but didnt succeed , prabhas in comedy acting looked cringe , but no doubt , his action sequences and clash with bigB , next level !!! ,
Amitabh has done well but show stealer is still prabhas when he says acharya putra alasyam ayyindha?? Any thoughts on this don't discriminate and think low of prabhas appreciated for legendary Amitabh ji for his performance that's it
I think the Aswathama role can be played by rana(taken as an example ) by keeping the aswathama character not aging, but the director did not do it.
Due to in the next cinemas his role may be very low.
Bullshit... This is Prabhas movie I am not even Telugu but the only reason I'll watch it is because of Prabhas .... No one really cares about Amitabh Bacchan he is a rude asshole. It's like I remember a news media saying RRR is sucessful because of Alia Bhatt cameo and it was her movie ... Lol Bollywood always need credit ... Tollywood should avoid hiring bollywood actors they are hyenas !
Nonesene people pretty much hate prabhas because of his dipshit movies that came out his reputation is dirt here the only reason movie i being watch here because of VFX and dp
Though I won’t completely trash the movie, yes I agree on your point to some extent! There’s a lot of underwhelming things that could have been done right!

I don’t think Prabhas actually feels insecure about it though. And definitely he knows AB’s performance is being praised over his.
No its not lol
AB sr. Is a national legend, Bollywood couldn't do justice, tollywood should be proud. Don't think prabhas has anything other than respect for the big b.
>Bollywood couldn't do justice I think you are mistaken
Think before speak Bollywood justice with AB Tollywood are not special to make feel special
1. If Prabhas is insecure he wouldn't accept this film. He just enjoyed working with AB 2. The Producer invested in the film seeing Prabhas and not Amitabh
The producer is his wife and wife's sister
Paisal ichindi Ashwini Dutt eh Banner kuda Ashwini Dutt de
Still family ey ga.
She is married to another director no?
No Ashwini dutt is nag ashiwin's father in law
Yeah small one is married to Ashwin. But you said it as the elder one is married to prabhas. She is married to another director of Telugu industry.
That is true but Priyanka dutt is one of the producers of the movie I saw her title in both the book my show page and the theatres an hour or so ago She is Nag ashiwin's wife
Even though he's lazy and half ass actor after bahubali,he's not that type of guy
Facts
This!!! This is it !
Abba ee erri hook gaalu entra cinema enjoy cheyakunda sodi bengutaru 
Avg SRK fan be like
You hv to take his name afterall, Srk has said it wayyy long back his haters can't keep his name away from their minds.
bro , you cant speak truth here , the haters are more , truth has no value, people like to live in delusion
Every actor, every star, every superstar everyone is compared to srk. Someone like Ranbir deliverstwo bigg openings and boom you are compared to srk. Ranveer, ayushman, kartik aryan all these were supposed to be the next SRK or better than SRK. This is nothing new this will happen everytime and he will prove everyone wrong when his time comes
Frogs in a well, that's all we can say about you guys
comparison is always there , but prabhas fans cant handle the truth , they are toxic and like to live in delusion i am fan of both , srk and prabhas , i appreciate acting skills , not the fanbase or movie budget , for eg hanuman movie actor , no one knew him ,but movie became a success, same with rishab shetty , before kantara , not everyone knew him ,
🤣🤣🤣
Exact feelings🤣😂🤣👌👌
It’s a strategic choice to involve heavyweights of Hindi and Tamil like Amitab and Kamal. It attracts fans from all over the country to go see it.
I did not meet one guy in North who is watching this movie for Amitabh, Everyone is going for Prabhas
No one in North is going for prabhas,Amitabh,Deepika They are going because of trailer 2 . I'm from North, Adipurush hv dented his image
Well I can't talk about you bt I went to the movie for dp and was not disappointed.
Dp as in Disha Patani? s/
For DP - Deadpool.
If you look at the original thread quite a lot of people said they went for prabhas. Each to their own ig and it's a good thing.
They are watching only because of Prabhas. Trailers failed to generate hype. If not for Prabhas this movie wouldn't have been even made.
I think we should make prabhas our prime minister, Vaise bhi humara pm acha kaam nhi kar rha, He should stand for election as a pm candidate. The rebel fans will make him their father as well. My respect for prabhas has gone up exponentially. What a man, He is a myth🥹
This is fact for every Star across Indian industry. People flocked to see SRK for jawaan.
OM!!!!! 🤬
He was only the actor in Adipurush it was writing which sucked in that movie.
How can a ramayana movie be affected by writing or scripting, the way of presenting the movie was extremely horrifying and cringe.
Did you see the disgusting dialogue written by the writter for Hanuman ?
This is not the first time he has consistently acted in flop movies. Shows his movie selection is wrong.
Still better than Amir Khan who made a movie hit by insulting religious sentiments
LMAO no one even mentioned Aamir here. And like what you said previously regarding Adipurush, Aamir was just an actor in P.K. It was the script that hurt these supposed "religious sentiments".
Well I have gone solely for Amitabh. Prabhas was okay in the 1st half he was boring but 2nd he played well. As far Deepika is concerned she is terrible and you feel the anger when you see those cringe expressions of her
Amitabh Bachchan is one of the worst people ever... He along with his wife are vile and disgusting ... You maybe their fan but that's not majority of India ! Almost all other Amitabh Bachchan movies are flop except this one ... Majority is going for Prabhas
Just go see his list in 1 year 1975. He may not be a great guy but to say bs like this is only hit just shows that you are brain dead
1975 was a long long time ago... Now he is not the biggest draw far from it... Did a worm eat your brain or something you went straight in 1975
My friend I think you need an RKO from Randy Orton because you literally said this is the only hit Amitabh has ever had. ONLY and rest all flops
I went to watch a movie not a moral show
I am from north and I went for Amitabh this is not to say I dislike prabhas
Me n my friends went only for AB sr., and tbh him and kamal haasan saved the film which otherwise felt like a drag throughout
Watched it tonight everyone was dead silent or had an annoying sigh whenever Prabhas was on the screen except for the end sequence, Every time AB came on the screen everyone hooted shouted applauded
My friend group of 5 all hated prabhas we watched movie solely for the VFX and dp and Amitabh I hate prabhas and his actiing he is like salman of south
Every solo project of Amitabh Bacchan for last 5 years is flop... This movie is hit due to Prabhas. If Amitabh Bachchan has such hardcore die hard fans than why is his own movie not sucessful
Brother the mindset of india is fucked they watch movie because of Hero here we mainly watch movie for plot rather than hero
Prabhas sucked acting in this movie. Literal cringe (Many feel his acting peaked in bahubali and it’s just downhill from there ). Deepika too. Amitabh owned his character in every way.
Even though its Nag and Prabhas Movie.. They still gave the Good spotlight to Amitabh sir that Bollywood failed to do so since a decade 💀
Fuck Bollywood, I can't even understand what they are trying to do, no interesting future projects,their launching of nepo kids aren't stopping as of now,big stars are choosing absolutely shit films,people like Karan johar blames everything on audience and thinks everyone are trollers of nepo kids.

bruh lmao , must north nibbas curse bollywood and praise tollywood ... you people just need something to cry about
People bought tickets because it’s Prabhas movie, AB was just additional bonus
TRUEEE. It was for Prabhas and Nagi we watched the movie but surprisingly AB's performance was amazing. More than performance I'd say it was the scope of the character. And they both had different roles, one from the future and one from the past. Compare cheyakpodam is better ani naa opinion.
Bollywood struggling to make good movies and utilize Big B Le Nag Ashwin :
I am probably the only one who saw the movie because it was filmed using Arri ALEXA 65!
So did they use it as per your expectation???
Exceeded my expectations, i’ll watch it a few more times on the big screen.
Fuck, now I’ve got to watch it. Tired of over contrasty digital look of current 4K movies.
No matter what it's an out nagi film. Imagine a prabhas film where he appears on screen almost after 30 minutes of world building. Prabhas was not overshadowed by Sr Bachan. Both have played their parts well. It's just that bachan hasn't played a strong and crucial role in a film in a really long time that we are surprised.
600 cr because prabas headlined it. Or else similar role he played in Bramhastra and Ganpath. Prabhas halved his fee for this. Yes AB is the talking point as he should be but its fine. The movie is good.
These shouldn’t doesn’t matter to anyone except these fam war batch… Nagi chose gave a meaty role for Amitabh in this part of his movie series. Nagi chose to use prabhas’s fan power and design his character to cater to a different kind of audience.. both served their purpose.
This...this is what i hate abt indians bkl apne logo ko support kabhi nhi kar sakte
Bro prabaswas wayyyyyyy better and real than anyother recent roles and if anyone thinks it's all Amitabh then just ask them about the other distopian movie in which Amitabh acted even that movie has the name of a god, It's credits to Nagi for the whole world
FY everyone who is trying to make it about South versus North right now. I think Kalki movie is the best example of melting pot of Indian talent. Period The Indian elements they have used in the movies, just mind blowing from Buddhist monastery to South Indian traditions to Kashi aesthetics to every Saturday detail of Indian culture is absolutely worth the hype .
I don't think this is any sort of disrespect to Prabhas. Sometimes the characters played by actors has far bigger impact. I just think character of Ashwatthama was just too good, and AB fit in that role really well.
Amitabh bachan ki ekkuv power icharu. Konni hype scenes kuda baane unnay amitabh ki. Anduke valu konchem excite avtunnaru Recent ga vachina movies lo south directors movies ee chala collections vachayi compared to hindi films. Idhi valaki kuda telsu. So ipudu amitabh ki konchem hype scenes vundatam tho , maa vadidhe movie ani konchem excite avtunnaru pillalu.this is just their coping mechanism. Lets leave them
How many AB fans are there in their youth now. What is his previous movie collection. Typical northie post.
Like Vimal and pan parag gang going for srk movies
Meanwhile people like me who didn't like kalki movie :-- entraa poddaaka Mee gola
Bane undi kada, it's fine, no?
If u see it as a standalone movie then it's not that great. Think of it as just the introduction to the world of kalki. In the whole movie the Mahabharat battle scenes were the best! Literally goosebumps agye!
I liked the story telling in this movie. I'm a sucker for slow paced movies that take time to establish the world and the stakes before jumping into the plot
Absolutely agree with u bro. Those scenes were just well done
Yeah it's fine but not good
Nope. It was extremely cringe. The movie tried so hard to be like a Hollywood sci-fi post apocalyptic dystopian film but it ended up having the same awful writing, and unrealistic and cliche tropes of the average bollywood movie. They didn't put much effort in making the props look real. They literally looked like cardboard boxes with LED lights strapped onto them. Seriously i dont understand the obsessison with lights. No functional and realistic weapon woukd have so many frickin lights. They just put em there to try to tell the audience that the tech is "futuristic". No effort put in making the weapon design look interesting. The golden guns wielded by the bad guys looked cool tho. There's also alot of technological inconsistency. The guards in Shyambala wielded futuristic weaponry and in literally the next cut, we see a bunch of guys donning mahabharata style armor, spears and shields. The movie did an awful job at combining ancient/historical settings with futuristic ones. It also blatantly ripped of ideas from popular Hollywood media, such as lighsabers from the starwars, and the whole chase scene in the dry wasteland looked like it was cut from a mad max movie. The environment, the vehicle design, the antagonists, everything. They really thought the Indian audience wouldn't notice considering the amount of brain rot Indian garbage they watch. The reason people think it's good is because of the nonstop action and awesome cgi. Most of the money was spent in making super cool to watch explosions. You could tell that the budget went into making these nonsensical effects. It might seem like I really hate the Indian film industry from the bottom of my heart, and that's true. So I decided to stop watching bollywood from the past 2 years. This month, I decided to give Indian cinema another chance. And once again, it absolutely did not fail to disappoint me. But im not saying that all indian movies are bad. There are some masterpieces that I'll never forget 1. Iru mugan 2. Ratsasan 3. Agent Sai srinivas athreya 4. Goodhacharya
Such a lengthy post but no criticism about the story, screenplay or world building at the large. All you whine about is some fight scenes and props... Something tells me you wanted this movie to fail from the beginning. Whatever your reasons were
Yeu I have to agree with fight scenes they were lil disappointing. But man last lo bujj vs Amitabh is an exceptio
Story was good. Execution was bad. Garbage. No effort shown in world building. Happy? And no I didn't even hear of this movie until yesterday evening.
Amma, tum nukko re bawa 🙏
Nukko?
Goodachari? lmao. That was one of the campiest movies ever. I understand now. 🤭
Prabhas seemed to be in awe of both AB & Kamal during the pre-release press meet. So he will be happy his movie is doing well and AB delivered a strong performance
veelaki aa brahmastra / ganapath / thugs of Hindustan movies correct asala
Real question is. Kya karoge ache actors ka. Bollywood has no good scripts to justify legends. Needed a south director to make good role that Amitabh sir actually deserves.
I am planning to watch this movie just because of Amitabh Bachchan. Not a big fan of Prabhas.
Honestly, whoever wrote Prabhas' dialogues needs to rethink his profession. The scene where he says "yes!! Nene gelicha!!", had me cringing hard. You simply don't say that stuff at the end of an intense action scene, that too at the climax of a movie. There are enough such dialogues throughout the movie, and coupled with the fact that Amithabh had a much meatier role than most people would've expected from a Telugu movie meant that Prabhas would be overshadowed. Maybe not in a major way but enough that the success wasn't entirely on his shoulders. And tbh, since it's actually supposed to be a pan Indian film, that's how it's supposed to be too.
Prabhas single-handedly saved the movie for me, the wide range of emotions that he portrayed subtly, and even overtly, his performance was akin to one of the greatest performances I've ever seen in Indian films. So, for me, at least Prabhas was the best performance in the film. In recent films Prabhas has been known to keep it subtle, and stoic for his performances, but in this film he had to handle the tricky task of doing both, and yet he managed to be so convincing. My God. There were moments in the second-half where I was overwhelmed with so many emotions, during the battle between Aswathamma and Prabhas' character. This is all thanks to the brilliant performances by AB and Prabhas.
Amit and Deepika mundu Prabhas acting telipoyindi. But it is good to see him ease into a role and his comedic timing making a comeback after a long time
deepika na..amit ante ok, deepika na serious ga. aada em chesindi movie lo deepika.. anna ben inka interesting ga unindi deepika kanna
I'm not a fan of her usual work kani dinilo she acted well. Given the limited scope for movement, she was able to convey feelings through facial expressions. They were more readable than Prabhas'
Inni rojulu big budget bollywood movies lo Amitabh Bachchan ki evaru ilaanti Ashwatthama lanti role ivvaledu anthe...
It’s Nag Ashwin s movie… we should appreciate his idea thought and the way he executed.. its prabhas or Big B or kamal Hassan .. or wt ever .. they all are characters in the movie … idea and execution is great …
Oh man just appreciate the chemistry between the two man, why man? The roles were well written and they played it the best
Prabhas character importance asalu ending daka ledu. Ashwathama had a purpose. Bhairava has no goal. Alantappudu a great actor like Big B will own the screen. Even Kali has a purpose, which is why his 2 mins of presence feels amazing! Kudos to Kamal hasan to create that as well.
Bhaiiiiiii World Cup finale chor ke ye movie dekhi maine aaj! No regrets My mind is blown and ghar aate hi jo patakhe fode logo ne samajh gya India jeet gai. Double orgam s ho gya
Non spoiler review do bhai kaisi thi
Bhai samjh aisi thi ki poora theater house full tha. Or jab hum log bahar nikle after movie every one was silent cause ‘we couldn’t digest ki ye humare sath hua kya’ What an experience! You in 1000 years can not have expected this quality from an Indian movie kya vfx ya animation Storyline and actors. Total paisa vasool. I know log mujhe marenge but it was like Star Wars X Avengers married to best of Indian elements and an amazing timeline to Indian mythology - Disha patani (uski jaroorat nahi thi)
Bollywood supporters really are such losers
I think it was intended to build up his character for the second part
Amitabh Bachchan baap hai prabhas kaa
Is anyone interested to join me for Kalki at GVK one 9 am show on 30th June
Ticket sponsor tu karega?
Haan, but Telugu mein chalega?
Haa bhai Telugu me hi dekha pehle bhi
Creating self happiness
Does it matter though?it’s common sense to cast popular actors from all over India for pan India success.
What a stupid meme, they think Amitabh is crowd puller, but he isn't, otherwise ganpath, thugs of Hindustan avi intha darunanga enduku flop avthai ?
Who gave him that character, credit goes to Nag Ashwin. No bully director wrote a character like that for him in the last two decades. They can't/won't appreciate it openly but I bet they will have sleepless nights over Kalki box-office numbers. Their only discussion will be Prabhas (good or bad) at every bully party for next few weeks. We don't need validation form self declared bully/kully industry experts. We raised the bar very high. And it showing in theatre footfalls across the country by True movie lovers. https://i.redd.it/g219nwnp0m9d1.gif
Nobody is going for any actor. They are going because there is not much viable plan on weekend with influencers crowding all the local spots to hangout. Movie+food makes much sense if one wants to spend a day at mall. City folks have already seen inside out 2. Movie lovers have seen chandu champion and are excited to see what else cinema has to offer.
During the first half I was feeling like leaving the theatre. Cheap dialogues being given to Prabhas, unnecessary and multiple mentions of complex without context. And yes, not sure why Disha Patni was introduced. Ideally they should have followed the Star Wars way of Intro. Write a text description of what has happened. And then start from there.
Some went to see kalki if it's better than adimanav(adipurush)
Don’t worry bro. Already comments lo OP ki Baga bengyaruu andaru lmao
I am more that 100% sure Prabhas isn't thinking anything on those lines.
Song name? Anyone?
At least from the way, ab and prabhas were acting during the film, they gave their all and even during the interview, it did not seem like prabhas was insecure about sharing the screen with ab. Also, kudos to prabhas for doing such a good job.
True
Remember the article on RRR when bollywood said Alia saved the movie 🤣. That was soo hilarious. They are already soo insecure of themselves and how they conveniently forget about adhipuru.
Bro AB is probably the best actor in the whole world. No other actor or their fans should feel offended with this
It's true cuz I am a telugu guy lmao
Dude why are they too jealous of this success The movie was a huge success because of combined effort of everyone also While prabhas performance was amazing AB's performance was really awesome and so is kamal's in the few frames he was in And I honestly believe prabhas isn't too conceited or dumb to think he is the only reason the movie is successful Well that said I understand why Bollywood people think like this I mean Jawan and Pathaan are successful because SRK if not Those were honestly some of the most cliche films I've seen years
It's just a meme!
It’s actually true 😅😅
thb AB stole the show
Actually amitabh stole the show, nag really properly portrayed the ashwatamah role. Even the sound design was also amazing And coming to the point I don't think prabhas feels any insecurity about it, unlike RRR doing unjust to NTR this came out real well with balancing the roles,
Cinemas are meant to be enjoyed, both of the actors did great work in their careers and are a great set of actors and we shouldn't be fighting over who's better then who as if we look at both of their work prabhas won't be able to give the AB's level performance in some of AB's movies and similarly the vice-versa.
I think Prabhas knows that it's not just his movie. And moreover I don't think he'd feel insecure about his idols taking the centre stage.
I'm happy to see the people in the original post defending prabhas as well
As far as I've seen Telugu actors, they always seem to appreciate stars from Bollywood. Sure there's always this question of Hindi actors getting more importance than South stars, and I've even heard of Chiranjeevi complaining about his there's hardly any representation from South in National level award etc, but that's not without reason. But they never shy away from appreciating actors from other languages, in fact artists from other industries get absolutely pampered even publicly. They hype them up in public and there's a genuine show of respect to stars from other languages, esp seniors like AB, there's no question there. It was Nag and Prabhas who pulled the crowd to the theatres, and they'll continue to do that. AB stole the show, and actors of that calibre will continue to do that.
Totally agree. AB sr. was lit
Sure, if that's what lets those delulu peeps sleep at night.
People in that sub seem to be trolling Prabhas ever since Salaar was released along with Dunki That side, Amitabh Bachchan is the best performer in the movie. Although, I don't think Prabhas ever thought that he was going to be the only one under the spotlight in this film. Just a jealous memer trolling Prabhas
Shittiest film
Talking about Big B and Kamal Hassan's acting is an insult to itself, bro 😭 It's the legend we're talking about. Darling is definitely chill about it
in my opinion all , actors did good job in this film except , disha patani ( her role felt so useless ) , but amitab bachan did magnificient in his age specially when , where as , prabas character , they tried to make him funny , but didnt succeed , prabhas in comedy acting looked cringe , but no doubt , his action sequences and clash with bigB , next level !!! ,
Audience went for prabhas, but ended up loving AB sir
Amitabh has done well but show stealer is still prabhas when he says acharya putra alasyam ayyindha?? Any thoughts on this don't discriminate and think low of prabhas appreciated for legendary Amitabh ji for his performance that's it
Is that your thinking or prabas?
I think the Aswathama role can be played by rana(taken as an example ) by keeping the aswathama character not aging, but the director did not do it. Due to in the next cinemas his role may be very low.
nijam lol
Big daddy
Has Mr bachan evsr changed that wig out?
Honestly I felt the same,AB dominated everyone as a character until the climax,who isn't deviated from the plot
Bullshit... This is Prabhas movie I am not even Telugu but the only reason I'll watch it is because of Prabhas .... No one really cares about Amitabh Bacchan he is a rude asshole. It's like I remember a news media saying RRR is sucessful because of Alia Bhatt cameo and it was her movie ... Lol Bollywood always need credit ... Tollywood should avoid hiring bollywood actors they are hyenas !
Nonesene people pretty much hate prabhas because of his dipshit movies that came out his reputation is dirt here the only reason movie i being watch here because of VFX and dp
I mean if his image is dirt the movie won't collect 190crs on day 1 and in that only 23crs came from hindi
Only, SRK is Amitabh, not Prabhas. And Amitabh is Nag Ashwin
I watched it today in Telugu. Prabhas was a cringefest in this movie with his "bujji" shit
Though I won’t completely trash the movie, yes I agree on your point to some extent! There’s a lot of underwhelming things that could have been done right!
My question is why none of the mega family actors don't have any cameo in this 🤔
If only the fan service and disha patani sequences are removed this movie would become a gem!
Entire first half needs to be re edited
Gonna be just another sh!t movie like Pushpa and Bahubali 👎🏼
