00:00I am Santhosh Thangam and you are watching the Good, Bad, Ugly show.
00:03I am Leo Abraham.
00:04Have you ever wondered what Good, Bad, Ugly is?
00:07It is a show where you have to separate the good, bad and ugly in a movie.
00:14So, let's start with Kalki.
00:16Kalki is a movie based on the story of an ancient man, Hanuman.
00:23I didn't say Kalki 2898 clearly.
00:26There are a lot of issues there.
00:28Yes, Kalki 2898.
00:31But all the movies I mentioned earlier,
00:33took that attempt and it was a big failure.
00:36There were a lot of ups and downs.
00:38So, this movie has overcome all that.
00:40That is the first impression I can give in this movie.
00:43So, it is a movie with a big star cast.
00:47It is a movie with a big expectation.
00:49So, how was the movie?
00:50Let's start with the positive.
00:52My first positive was the music.
00:56Santhosh Narayanan is not here.
00:58He is coming out.
01:00Genuinely, the music was good.
01:03Except for a small bit, I was a little upset.
01:06But everything else was proper and grandiose.
01:09Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan,
01:14Kamal Haasan, GFX worked so hard.
01:18Beyond all that, you can see the music in the first place.
01:21No, you shouldn't tell me the music point.
01:24There is VFX and all that.
01:28But it was all grandiose.
01:30That is why I want to talk about the music.
01:32There were a lot of expectations
01:34that it would be in international standards.
01:37The music didn't disappoint.
01:40But definitely, there were a few things
01:42that were changed.
01:43I will talk about that in the negatives.
01:45My first positive was,
01:47we saw Adi Purush and Hanuman in this film.
01:51There are many reasons to detach from that film.
01:54The main reason was the CGFX.
01:57There is no connection between them.
01:59They say it is a thousand crores,
02:01but it is like seeing an old Amman film.
02:03But without that,
02:05it is a proper Hollywood film.
02:07There are a lot of futuristic films.
02:10Let it be Dune or Mad Max Fury Road.
02:12In such films,
02:14there is not much comparison.
02:16The graphics were so good,
02:18that the screen couldn't be brought out.
02:20It was a pleasure to see such graphics
02:22in Tamil cinema.
02:24That was the first thing
02:26that brought us into the film.
02:28I agree with that.
02:30When the film came out,
02:32it was in a dystopian setup.
02:34Let it be Star Wars or Mad Max.
02:36We didn't lack anything in that.
02:38If the graphics were upsetting,
02:40we couldn't watch it.
02:42We would get detached from the film.
02:44We would have asked for animation.
02:46We would have asked for many films.
02:503D was not that effective.
02:52You watched it in 3D.
02:54I watched it in 2D.
02:56There is not much difference.
02:58If it was in 3D,
03:00it would have been good in 2D.
03:02Another important thing in this film
03:04is the cast and crew.
03:06The art they did for each character
03:08was very joshy.
03:10But the cast in the film
03:12did a very good job.
03:14They did it in the right time.
03:16Kamal's film and Amitabh Bachchan's film
03:18were amazing.
03:20Each scene was majestic.
03:22It carried an aura.
03:24The cast was great.
03:26Deepika Padukone and Prapas
03:28took care of each character.
03:30I liked that in this film.
03:32Everyone knew about the story.
03:34But still,
03:36there was an evil spirit.
03:38Kaliyugam is there.
03:40To save Kaliyugam,
03:42a Kalki is born.
03:44There are many problems
03:46for the birth of that god.
03:48This is an establishment.
03:50The entire film will be in the second part.
03:52They have established it now.
03:54That will be a plus
03:56and a minus for the film.
04:00I think it will go beyond the second part.
04:02Kalki Cinematic Universe
04:04will give a new intro.
04:06Will they bring all mythologies together?
04:08Will there be a Mahabharata?
04:10Will there be a Multiverse of Madness?
04:12We will have to wait and see.
04:14There is a reason for saying this is a negative.
04:16They have thought of establishing
04:18a big universe.
04:20In the first half,
04:22there are so many scenes
04:24where the characters are different.
04:26They have taken a lot of time
04:28to make it clear.
04:30The film is 3 hours long.
04:32The first half is 1.5 hours.
04:34Those portions are very tiring.
04:36In the first half,
04:38the character establishment
04:40is going on for 20-30 minutes.
04:42It is very tiring.
04:44It is very tiring.
04:46It is very boring
04:48to establish a particular character.
04:50Prabhas' character.
04:52All the other characters were okay.
04:54But Prabhas...
04:56He had an audience.
04:58To please them,
05:00they had to establish
05:022-3 extra scenes.
05:04That's what I felt.
05:06In Starcast,
05:08there are a lot of cameos.
05:10All the cameos in this film
05:12are more than Deepika.
05:14We can see them in more scenes
05:16than Disha Pattani.
05:18Why did they come?
05:20What did they do?
05:22What was the purpose?
05:24We don't know.
05:26We are still searching.
05:28In a film like this,
05:30we can easily conclude
05:32that there is a story behind it.
05:34But we can't conclude this.
05:36When the audio of the film was released,
05:38there was a song called
05:40Toto Toto Town.
05:42Did you say you liked that?
05:44Yes.
05:46It was lagging.
05:48That song itself
05:50had a different vibe
05:52compared to the dystopian setup.
05:54The scene in the film
05:56and the film itself
05:58are dystopian.
06:00Disha Pattani's scene
06:02is also like that.
06:04The cameos in this film
06:06were positive and negative.
06:08I don't know why there were so many cameos.
06:10Did they have to do it?
06:12Or did someone else do it?
06:14Or did he get a call sheet?
06:16There were 2-3 cameos.
06:18Let it be Devaragonda.
06:20Dhulkar Salman's cameo
06:22already established
06:24that Prabhas is his character.
06:26Beyond that,
06:28he taught me something
06:30in life.
06:32There was an unnecessary scene.
06:34That's it.
06:36There were a lot of unnecessary scenes.
06:38If you take this scene in a film,
06:40the next scene won't be good.
06:42It will be a grippy film.
06:44In this film, there were unnecessary scenes.
06:46If you are a little tired,
06:48you can go out.
06:50There is a Rajamouli scene.
06:52That is also not related to the film.
06:54It was a fun conversation.
06:56If there were unnecessary cameos,
06:58the film would have ended in 2.5 hours.
07:00What impressed me was
07:02Deepika Padukone.
07:04Annabelle.
07:06She played a small character.
07:08In the end,
07:10I felt that the hero character was less.
07:12Beyond that,
07:14I felt that Amitabh Bachchan
07:16would have been better.
07:18Prabhas is a main character.
07:20Towards the end,
07:22he has a superb twist.
07:24Beyond that,
07:26Prabhas' character
07:28was a little dumb in the first half.
07:30I appreciate Prabhas.
07:32He took a backseat.
07:34He took a backseat in a lot of scenes.
07:36I appreciate that.
07:38Usually, there are big stars like him.
07:40He didn't want to stand in front of us.
07:42He allowed other characters
07:44to play alone in many scenes.
07:46That was a positive.
07:48There were some scenes for him.
07:50There was no heroism in those scenes.
07:52There was only a voice.
07:54That cameo didn't impress me.
07:56I don't know what to say.
07:58He is an important character.
08:00Yes, he is an important character.
08:02But they gave him only a voice.
08:04They didn't give him life for the film.
08:06But I liked that voice.
08:10So, it was positive.
08:12Like I said,
08:14there was GFX.
08:16There was a lot of music in the BGM.
08:18The cameos were good.
08:20I forgot to say one more thing.
08:22High points.
08:24In many places,
08:26if you pack a good high point,
08:28the film will be a hit.
08:30That's what Tamil cinema has been doing for 2-3 years.
08:32High points like that
08:34clicked a lot.
08:36That's why I said
08:38this was a good film beyond
08:40Adhipurush and Hanuman.
08:42The high points were perfect.
08:44They gave the necessary build up.
08:46The difference between Adhipurush and Hanuman
08:48is that
08:50we can relate to it a little.
08:52It doesn't go too far.
08:54It doesn't go too far.
08:56It's a little mixed.
08:58It's a little connected.
09:00That's a big positive.
09:02It's a film with both positive and negative.
09:04But the positive sides
09:06are shown later.
09:08So, we can watch the film decently.
09:10They will come.
09:12They will say it's an international spy thriller.
09:14Don't believe that.
09:16It's a good film.
09:18We can watch it once.
09:20We can end the film with expectations.
09:22I want to say something in particular.
09:24The first half was good.
09:26The second half was bad.
09:28The second half was good.
09:30So, when you come out,
09:32you'll feel like you've seen a good film.
09:34We'll wait for the next part.
09:36We'll meet after that.
