Ranveer Singh calls Kalki 2898 AD a 'cinematic spectacle' as he watches a night show with Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh
It was a date night at the movies for Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. The power couple watched a late-night show of Deepika's latest film Kalki 2898 AD at a suburban theatre in Mumbai on Tuesday night. Several photos of the couple arriving and hours later leaving the theatre have surfaced on social media.
The couple expecting their first child together in September this year arrived separately at the venue but walked out of the theatre together, holding hands.
Deepika arrived separately at the theatre and briefly posed for the waiting paparazzi before heading inside the hall. The Mom-to-be wore a white T-shirt under a black blazer and cropped blue denims. The actor also wore glasses, carried a bag, and wore white sneakers.
Her husband, Ranveer Singh was seen outside the theatre waving and smiling at the fans and paparazzi.
He wore a black ensemble--a T-shirt, cape, pants, shoes, cap and sunglasses. His mother Anju Bhavnani and sister Ritika Bhavnani were also seen at the spot.
Hours later, Ranveer and Deepika walked out of the theatre holding hands. Ranveer gestured to paps how much he enjoyed the film as Deepika got inside the waiting car.

WION's review of Kalki 2898 AD
In her review, Shomini Sen of WION wrote, "Written by Nag Ashwin, the film has taken huge references from Dune, Star Wars, Mad Max: Fury Road, Blade Runner and even Marvel movies. It's a slow first half and an unnecessary subplot involving Disha Patani and Prabhas's forced romance and gallivanting around the complex."
Shomini gave "full marks to the filmmaker for mounting the film on such a huge scale. The VFX is stunning, at par with Hollywood films, even though they reek of familiarity in several instances. But can VFX alone save a film?"Read more here
