Plot

In a dystopian world, people of all caste, nationality, and religion live, and they address their societal issues. What’s the issue they face? What’s the role of Satya or Kalki in this dystopian world?  

Star Performance

Upendra has done a good job, when speaking about his performances. He shoulders the entire film. Although Reeshma appears for a minimal time, she delivers a decent performance and strengthens her role. Ravishankar, Achyuth Kumar, and Sadhu Kokila fit well in the supporting roles.

Analysis

The film has a lot of instances to comment on the socio-political issues, and as a director, Upendra used it well. Though the performances are excellent, and the screenplay is engaging, they seem to be a little bit outdated. The production designs are well-made and the VFX works are excellent. The songs and lyrics move with the story and the BGM is neat. The concept is simple, less confusing, and delivers what the director wishes to. Upendra has compressed various philosophies into a single film with a runtime of less than 3 hours. He has touched almost all the societal issues and legacies. Right from Adam and Eve to the Kalki, the audience can feel what the director wants to convey.

What’s There?

  • A different attempt by Upendra as a director
  • The performances are good

What’s Not There?

  • A few loopholes

Verdict

If you want to enjoy a film in the way the director designed, you can watch this! Like the disclaimer by Uppi, if anyone who doesn’t want to watch a different sci-fi action thriller, can better skip. However, it is watchable once!
