Twitter users who were not so impressed by the movie

While there is a group of viewers who loved the "legendary" movie, there is another group who doesn't agree with this so much. 

A user said that the first half is disappointing and the screenplay is weak but still, it is worth a watch. 

#Kalki28989ADReview: A GAME OF 2 HALVES.

The 1st half is highly disappointing while the 2nd half is energetic and engaging. The climax is superb and sets up the sequel nicely. Amitabh and Kamal Haasan are standouts. It excels visually but screenplay is a weakness. Worth a watch. pic.twitter.com/Apcp8I5oH3

Yet another user who was disappointed with the movie said:

Kalki left me unimpressed. A sack full of great ideas lobbed towards its viewers with brute force.
