❓ Why is Kalki 2898 AD trending so much on Indian Twitter?
Short answer: Because of one dialogue. Prabhas says “Start the fire” in the climax. Twitter India turned it into a meme festival. Fans made 450,000 memes in just one day. That is why it broke records.
That scene dropped on Friday night. By Saturday morning, every other tweet was about it. 😄 People from small towns and big cities all shared the same video clip. The dialogue felt like a punchline you can use for anything – exams, cricket, or even cooking dal!
