a different narrative
About halfway through Kaliyugam 2064, I caught myself holding my breath. Not because of a jump scare or a loud moment-but because of silence. That tense, eerie silence where a character is just trying to survive, and you're right there with them. That's what this film does so well. It doesn't just show you a dystopian future-it traps you in it.
What struck me most wasn't just the scarcity of resources, but the scarcity of trust, hope, and humanity. You could feel the weight of every choice the characters had to make. The film doesn't scream its message-it lets the atmosphere, the eyes of its characters, and the emptiness of its world speak for it.
Visually, it's haunting. The color palette, the barren landscapes, the abandoned spaces-they all tell their own stories. And the music? It doesn't overpower. It lingers. Just like the film.
Kaliyugam 2064 isn't a film you just watch. It's a film you survive alongside the characters. It's raw, bold, and incredibly timely. This is the kind of cinema we need more of.
