Kaliyugam 2064 Movie Review: An ambitious dystopian thriller that's too disoriented to entertain
Kaliyugam 2064 Movie Synopsis: It's 2064, and people are struggling to meet their ends as even basic needs like food and water aren't available. Will there be a recovery from this crisis? Kaliyugam 2064 Movie Review: Pramodh Sundar's ambitious dystopian thriller, Kaliyugam 2064, is a film that aims for the sky but abruptly crashes along the way. The film is set in 2064, where people are struggling to stay alive as the power rests in the hands of a group who call themselves Residents. As Residents kill anyone who isn't with them, another group named Liberators is formed to overthrow Residents and build an egalitarian world. Rather than building upon its intriguing basic premise, Kaliyugam 2064 loses its focus pretty early on. The scenes prior to Sketch's (Kishore) entry do contribute to the film's worldbuilding, but they end up being too drawn-out. Even when Kishore and Iniyin Subramani try to give their all, the film is too disoriented to keep us invested. The revelations made later on in the film do help in providing more context to moments that occur in the first half, but it isn't enough to revitalise the film. Kaliyugam 2064 really picks up after the character of Pari (Shraddha Srinath) is introduced. The aptly written character and Shraddha's performance as Pari do manage to add new life into the film. But, even with solid performances and an admirable setup, the film never reaches its full potential. It's one of those films that bites off more than it can chew. Kaliyugam 2064 falls under a trap of being a film driven largely by its vision, as the makers falter in pulling off that vision with finesse.

RGV unveils Shraddha Srinath's ‘Kaliyugam 2064' trailer
Shraddha Srinath is ready to captivate audiences once again, this time in a futuristic avatar with the upcoming sci-fi adventure thriller Kaliyugam 2064. Known for her compelling performances in Jersey, Krishna and His Leela, and Daaku Maharaaj, Shraddha takes the lead in this high-stakes story set in a dystopian 2064. Joining her are seasoned actor Kishore, Iniyan Subramani, and Harry in pivotal roles. Directed by debutant Pramodh Sundar and produced by K.S. Ramakrishna under the R.K. International banner, Kaliyugam 2064 is a bilingual venture made in Tamil and Telugu. In Telugu, the film is being presented by Mythri Distribution and is scheduled for a global release on May 9, making it a special summer offering for moviegoers. The first-look poster, launched by ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam, garnered a positive response, setting the tone for what promises to be a visually rich and intense narrative. Recently, Ram Gopal Varma unveiled the trailer and praised the project, calling it a 'futuristic experience' with captivating visuals, standout performances, and impressive design elements—likening it to reading a modern-day mythological tale. Cinematographer K. Ramcharan's visual storytelling plays a critical role in creating the gritty, resource-starved world of Kaliyugam 2064, where humanity struggles for survival amidst a lack of food, water, and compassion. Drawing inspiration from mythological elements of the Kaliyugam era, the film blends philosophical depth with cutting-edge sci-fi spectacle, promising a unique cinematic journey.
