The moment this user wrote this, people started speculating on different reasons behind it. One user asked, "Do you have to cut that scene cuz a female is swimming?"

2. Another difference that the Reddit users spotted is the introduction scenes at the beginning of the film.

A user pointing out the same wrote, "Good that they edited the intro because I have never seen such a boring hero entry it was like put to satisfy prabhas fans and the song they used in middle of fight felt out of place like ippudu promotion is song chesam so dani waste cheyakunda fight lo kalipi dobbudam apart from Prabhas intro scenes and that Ana Ben character and her monologue rest of the movie was good especially 2nd half."

3. Did they trim the Sumathi fire walking scene and the Kalki title song playing in the background? Hinting at this one of the many users on Reddit wrote, "Idk man I absolutely loved the scene where Sumathi walked through fire. I just hate that they barely played the Kalki theme song, it¡¯s pure goosebumps but they only played like part of it. Overall the OST is great if you listen but half of it is missing from movie or it¡¯s edited poorly in movie."

4. Did they change the lyrics too? Hinting at this particular change, one viewer on Reddit wrote, "Lyric change in that Fire walk felt off."

5. Fans are also claiming that the makers have trimmed a scene where Krishna talked about Hanuman being on the flag.

Kalki 2898 is a theatrical treat of visual delights.

The brief flashback scenes involving Mahabharata characters are so goosebumps-worthy.

One of the fans who watched the movie in theatres and online too claimed, "In the end of the movie, when Krishna was hyping up Karna, And when Krishna talked about Hanuman being on the flag of arjuna's chariot, there was an adlib of the Hanuman Chalisa. I watched the movie twice in the first week and it wasn't there in the movie. Shouldn't have added it imo."
