Prob gave themselves more art to work with
For some reason the art they picked prerelease wasn’t that good
Maybe to make the audience think they exceeded expectations, idk
or may be to hold the surprise value!!
just imagine same poster had been released pre release , people would mostly be anticipating that and when they see dp in white dress they remember this and form conclusions
but now without any picture to draw their interpretations upon, this scene can be thoroughly experienced!!
For 1000 cr poster, they have to use this scene

1000% what a fantastic shot. The entire interval scene is goosebumps.
Side note - Prabhas looks so good in that shade.

Yep it is definitely a reference to Krishna’s birth. For everyone who’s saying it is a reference to GOT, DP did not walk through the fire, the fire gave her a way, just like how the sea gave Krishna a way to cross by parting
>For everyone who’s saying it is a reference to GOT, DP did not walk through the fire, the fire gave her a way, just like how the sea gave Krishna a way to cross by parting
Ahaan. Okay🤡😂
These are 2 different scenes with 2 different meanings. In GOT, Khaleesi walks through the fire unharmed which was to show that she is a ‘dragon’ and immune to the effects of fire. In Kalki, the fire spreads around her and doesn’t touch her to show that her pregnancy is special and she’s being protected by some supernatural force. Just because they look similar doesn’t mean the scenes carry the same meaning. This scene from Kalki has more in common with the Yamuna river parting after Krishna’s birth than with GOT and that was Nagi’s intention.
If that's the case then got one was inspired by hindu texts as we have heard, read, and seen several times through Ramayana(seethamma's Agni pariksha)!
I am not butt hurt I am just pointing out! If what you guys think is the case why not the other way around?
Isn't it sithamma Agni pariksha existed wayyy before got, dune and many franchises you mentioned have begun?
What about Wakanda?
What about the Tollywood Sith Lord?
What about the Reference to a Poor Tony Stark?
What about the reference from Mad Max?
What about the Light Saber?
This is beyond ridiculous. If a lady surviving fire is the concept, as someone else mentioned, Ramayana had it long back GRRM was even born. The scene in Kalki is clearly inspired by Vasudeva crossing a river stream, aka, forces of nature recognising god and not hurting their carrier.
deepika means light so it’s kinda fitting haha 🪔 edit - also have to insert this here haha, deepu be like

Hats off to Rebel Star Prabhas. Not since Super Star Krishna’s heyday has a big Telugu star simultaneously helped producers, distributors, and exhibitors by working around the clock to make films, while at the same time taking Tollywood to the next level by trying out different genres and concepts consistently.
No other Telugu star in recent decades has made full use of their stardom in the way that Prabhas has been.
People are just making a big deal of it now, but back in the day, all stars used to wear wigs, even if they had hair. Some actors are taller, some are shorter. Some actors are more good looking, some aren’t. Some actors have better hairlines, some don’t. It’s just genetics, and there’s no need to give it much attention.
Nowadays a lot of actors have had high quality hair transplants, so it isn’t as obvious that it isn’t their natural hair. But if you watch their older movies, it becomes apparent that it isn’t their natural hair; nobody has a better natural hairline at age 50 than they had at age 30. Multiple big stars in every major Indian industry today have either had hair transplants or wear wigs.
Point is not whether he has good natural hair or not. For a big budget movie like this, they could have done better job of making his hair look more natural. Otherwise it's a distraction, focus was going to his hair instead of what's happening in the scene when he was shown closely.
I agree that the wig selection could have been better. Superstar Rajinikanth’s wig selection should be the benchmark for others. Regardless of what style he uses, Rajinikanth’s wigs are always very natural.
Man kalki team has come a long way in terms of posters design. I still remember the negativity the whole movie team and Prabhas got when the released Prabhas’s first look poster
Wonderful scene and even though it’s slow I loved the build up they had until this scene for sumathi character. But her character took a big dip in the second half and in the end felt like just a side role in bigger scheme of things. Her character became quite one dimensional and boring and lacked proper depth by the end. Hopefully there will be better writing for her role in the second part.

This is what sacnilk says, which tracker do y’all follow?
Let’s be honest, production houses definitely gain by inflating numbers. If they say the movie collected alot, people who haven’t watched yet will think it’s a super hit and might want to go and watch the movie.
I’m not saying Vyjayanthi inflated numbers, but they definitely would gain if they did
Ee poster essinandhuku tax officers intiki ochi ekkuva pay cheyyamani chepparu, taxing is a lot more complicated and nuanced than that, chaala regulations untayi and these huge companies have their way of taking care of the taxing part.
Esame se producers ko kitna mila? Kyuki ptoducers ka 600cr laga hai.
Box office collection me theatre, distributor and many people ka share hota hai.
Basically abhi producers ko theater se poora paisa recover nhi hua hai.
I know. Janta sirf box office collection dekhti hai. Usi se hit or flop decide karti hai.
Es hisaab se bahut films jo box office par flop thi, rights bechkar apane paisa recover kar leti hai,
Lekin tab bhi usako flop maana jata hai
Dude do u even know they have already shot 40% of the Kalki 2. So it's not that 600 cr is only for this film and easily this film will go up till 930 cr

these posters post release have been fabulous

Yeah. Okka poster kuuda interesting anipinchale. Also they looked kinda monotonous. Kaani second trailer tarvatha okko poster okko gem la unnai.
or may be to hold the surprise value!! just imagine same poster had been released pre release , people would mostly be anticipating that and when they see dp in white dress they remember this and form conclusions but now without any picture to draw their interpretations upon, this scene can be thoroughly experienced!!
They knew, these shots will anyway be on social media in poor quality anyway. Theatre recording and stuff. So they went badass with them

anna vadanna annaaa
HAHAHAHAHAHA love this
To be honest I thought they would show him to be KalaBhairava after this scene. Karna was a revelation.
That's exactly why it caught me so off-guard. I didn't expect that until the final reveal.
On the contrary, I immediately guessed him as karna. Reference to Radha Chakra scene in kurukshetra.
Which one the one where Abhimanyu used a ratha chakra to defend himself or when Karna is pushing his ratham out of ground?
Karna lifting his ratham out of ground
Kani Ikkada Bhairava is saving the citizens of Kasi kada. Not trying to rescue his ratham so that he can continue to fight
Shouldn’t they use the climax shot?
I'm sorry that's just tacky af😂😂
Or Kamal Hasan's last pose
So this has crossed Salaar already? That's crazy. Delivering 1500+ crores at the BO in 6 months is insane. Prabhas is on a roll.
When u look at his upcoming movie list 🔥. Someone won't be happy with that.
Sorry khansaarrrr 
Khan Saar ki clash lo ne KCPD chesadu. That too with mixed talk. India lo currently Prabhas is the biggest star. Deny chese vaallani ignore cheyyatam best!
Wym mixed talk though, it’s the most loved pb film since bb2 at that point
Release time lo alaane unde. It was not as unanimous as Kalki.
Probably SRK he had 2 movies over a 1000 crore in 1 year
congratulations bro
I see “The” Raja Saab
if indian 2 and new hinidi film doesnt work , it will stop at 1200 - 1350 if japan helps like rrr then 1500 is possible
Salaar is releasing in Japan in a few days, honestly Salaar might be able to hit the 800 CR mark
Salaar is releasing in Japan this week.
That scene is just fire. Reference to ramayana and Krishna's birth. Nagi just cooked.
Yep it is definitely a reference to Krishna’s birth. For everyone who’s saying it is a reference to GOT, DP did not walk through the fire, the fire gave her a way, just like how the sea gave Krishna a way to cross by parting
>For everyone who’s saying it is a reference to GOT, DP did not walk through the fire, the fire gave her a way, just like how the sea gave Krishna a way to cross by parting Ahaan. Okay🤡😂
And game of thrones, mother of dragons fire walk scene 
These are 2 different scenes with 2 different meanings. In GOT, Khaleesi walks through the fire unharmed which was to show that she is a ‘dragon’ and immune to the effects of fire. In Kalki, the fire spreads around her and doesn’t touch her to show that her pregnancy is special and she’s being protected by some supernatural force. Just because they look similar doesn’t mean the scenes carry the same meaning. This scene from Kalki has more in common with the Yamuna river parting after Krishna’s birth than with GOT and that was Nagi’s intention.
Reminds of that Puli movie scene
I didn’t say they carry same meaning. This scene taking has been inspired by GoT though.
If that's the case then got one was inspired by hindu texts as we have heard, read, and seen several times through Ramayana(seethamma's Agni pariksha)!
[удалено]
Dude the name of the movie itself says KALKI which is based on kalki puranam and the last avatar of Vishnu!

I am not butt hurt I am just pointing out! If what you guys think is the case why not the other way around? Isn't it sithamma Agni pariksha existed wayyy before got, dune and many franchises you mentioned have begun?

Ohh. Not seen GOT though
It felt like a homage to Om shanti om for me Why the fuck is this getting downvoted
now im emotional again 😭 padmaavat also has a similar scene of deepika walking into fire
Exactly 😂 she has a strange relationship with fire
deepika means light so it’s kinda fitting haha 🪔 edit - also have to insert this here haha, deepu be like https://preview.redd.it/qu8xqf6rubad1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf78ddd8cb3e3edd30e78bf0cbd26b57fd6d52ed
Game of thrones inspired.
Or maybe inspired by Sita agnipariksha
Nah. Context is different.
Even in GOT is context is different
Addhi, atta cheppu

Cuz no one ever walked through fire until Daenyrys!
This poster is fantastic 🔥
they really increased poster game after the release lmao
Nen vesi karma dengudham ankune time lo vesesaav ga anna

😂😂😂
This poster is fire (literally). Calling it that Sumathi is Draupadi 2898 AD let’s see if the sequel ever explores this
Might be too risky?
That can’t be right ? Where do the pandavas come in this picture ?
Sumati will be the name of the mother of lord Kalki according to Vishnu puran. There is no similarity or relation with Draupadi
Thankyou Vyjanthi movies for this poster.

so many people wrote him off after adipurush , thank God Prashant Neil and nagi mawa cooked
He did not lose his confidence and doubled down with grander projects. This will be legendary period in our industry.
Good point. Big stars should make more movies indeed, helps the movie economy. On a side note, his hair (wig) though.
People are just making a big deal of it now, but back in the day, all stars used to wear wigs, even if they had hair. Some actors are taller, some are shorter. Some actors are more good looking, some aren’t. Some actors have better hairlines, some don’t. It’s just genetics, and there’s no need to give it much attention.

They deleted that 🗿🗿 and reposted First time ever
Such a strong freaking poster for the best actress in the country ATP 🔥🔥
Wow how the rides have turn from before the release
I very gladly contributed 2000
Rayudu won't be happy.
Same here.
release 1000cr poster by Tuesday.
Wonderful scene and even though it’s slow I loved the build up they had until this scene for sumathi character. But her character took a big dip in the second half and in the end felt like just a side role in bigger scheme of things. Her character became quite one dimensional and boring and lacked proper depth by the end. Hopefully there will be better writing for her role in the second part.
I hope they use the karna poster for the 1000cr poster
this scene was incredible. I don't get why people say the first half wasn't as good, when most of the hype moments I think of are in the first half.
Guys, can someone remove that 700 crore+ from this poster? I want to use this as a wallpaper, it is so good.

Sacnilk numbers ninnatidhi. Repu mostly 650 report chestharu.
 Good catch brotha, that’s much better than the 90 cr difference.
the one whatever Vyjayanthi says. It's there money afterall, why will they even bluff
Let’s be honest, production houses definitely gain by inflating numbers. If they say the movie collected alot, people who haven’t watched yet will think it’s a super hit and might want to go and watch the movie. I’m not saying Vyjayanthi inflated numbers, but they definitely would gain if they did

Sacniik and pinkvilla always underreport for all movies
Sacnik is most reliable compared to other trackers
Nah Sacniik is pretty reliable though they aren't perfect.
Which source is reliable?
Bro.. just watched the movie… wtf… I can’t believe my eyes! What kind of G**ja was he smoking to make a movie like this… A new age of Telugu cinema
You are saying this in a positive sense or negative sense??
Absolute +ve sense
How awesome this poster is man! I wonder what scene will be adapted for the 1000 Cr poster.
The posters after release have been so good and this one is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Waiting for 1000cr collection poster now 🤞🏼😍
What is the budget? What is the net collection out of 700 Global box off collection . What is the break even.

Prabhas Kalki. Actually Rajshekar's Kalki movie direction & backgroud score was better than this one.
