Celebrities like SS Rajamouli, Nagarjuna, Vijay Deverakonda, Shraddha Kapoor and others already showered praise on the film. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote, "Kalki 2898 AD has the firepower that an aspiring futuristic franchise needs and it harnesses it pretty well. So, for all its flaws, it does not ever careen out of control. On the acting front, Prabhas leads the way and not only because the film revolves around him. His strong presence serves as a counterpoint to Amitabh Bachchan's towering Ashwatthama - the deathless warrior is an eight-footer. The latter's voice is, as always, an integral part of the character."
According to Sacnilk, the film minted a remarkable ₹ 635 crore worldwide across all languages till now. The film minted over ₹ 84 crore worldwide on its first Monday. The film collected ₹ 34.6 crore across India on Monday across all languages, as per a report.
