"So I was watching Kalki 2898 AD movie. I was shocked to see that makers glorified Karna & showed Arjun inferior. Did they even try to know a little about Karna & Arjun from the original Mahabharata book before making this movie??? In Mahabharata book, Arjun is the greatest warrior," one of the X users wrote on the platform.

Another one said, "To people who really think showing Karna in a huge role is a bad thing and we should not glorify him. He fought against Arjun (son of Indra and PARTIAL INCARNATION OF LORD VISHNU) with Krishna on his side while Hanuman Ji was protecting him." A third user commented, "My timeline after #Kalki2898AD release- Arjun >> Karna".
Another user added, "Arjun - Karna. Karna had a disturbed childhood, too many curses, and no family. That is the difference between Arjuna and Karna. Both are equal in talent but not at War. Arjuna got friends with benefits at War."
