Story and acting
Kaliyugam is a bold attempt at a dystopian Tamil film set in the year 2064, presenting a world in chaos where survival is the only goal. The story follows a woman, played by Shraddha Srinath, who must protect a young boy in a lawless, ruined society. While the film has an interesting premise and some engaging moments, the screenplay feels uneven and lacks the depth needed to fully connect with the audience. Shraddha Srinath delivers a strong and emotional performance, and Kishore adds intensity with his gritty role, but the overall impact is weakened by predictable storytelling and slow pacing. Visually, the film impresses with its cinematography and sound design, creating a believable post-apocalyptic atmosphere. Despite its flaws, *Kaliyugam* deserves credit for attempting something different in Tamil cinema.
