Imagine a world where survival is a privilege, not a right. Where a wall separates wealth from poverty and the future looks more divided than ever. Kaliyugam, now streaming on SunNXT, is not just a film about the future. It is a haunting vision of where we might be headed.
Directed by Pramodh Sundar and written in collaboration with Sivaram Kondasani, the film is set in the year 2064, in a crumbling society shaped by decades of disaster. Shraddha Srinath leads the cast with a powerful performance, once again proving her ability to bring strength and vulnerability to screen in equal measure. The narrative follows a world split by class and power, with the privileged living in safety behind walls while the rest are left to fend for themselves in a wasteland of scarcity and violence.
At the center of the story is Sketch, played by Kishore, a man who discovers a hidden safe house outside the wall. This hidden zone, filled with comfort and luxury usually reserved for the rich, becomes the film’s turning point. What begins as a survival tale soon turns into a sharp commentary on inequality, control, and human desperation.
The movie stands out not just for its theme but also for its unique visual approach. The setting is grim, the world feels lived-in, and the tension runs high throughout. Every frame adds to the feeling of a society on the edge.
The supporting cast includes Harry, Master Ronith, Asmal, Arya Lakshmi, and Fire Karthik, who each contribute to the film’s layered universe. With dialogue by Aathreya, Karthik Gunasekhran, and Karkavi, the writing brings emotional weight to the sci-fi landscape.
Kaliyugam had a strong theatrical response and was praised for its unique take on the dystopian genre. While it may not boast massive budget spectacle, its storytelling and grounded emotional beats have made a lasting impression. The film currently holds a 6.1 rating on IMDb, but among its viewers, it has sparked much deeper conversation around the themes it explores.
If you are looking for a film that combines futuristic visuals with raw, human drama, Kaliyugam is worth adding to your watchlist. It is not just a warning about the future. It is a mirror to the present.
