In the ages of gods, Ashwathama was cursed with immortality after losing a war, doomed to wander until he finds redemption in the next era of humankind. Six thousand years later, humanity has reached a dystopian state, marred by endless war and slaughter. A single government controls all military forces and resources, and only the wealthy live relatively peaceful lives in a megastructure called the Complex. In the Complex, a secret experiment known as Project K is being conducted on women of childbearing age. Released in 2024, Kalki 2898 AD became an instant sensation, not just in India but also in North America. The film presents a thrilling clash between past and present, good and evil, and the worlds of mythology and science. With grand music, intense action, and striking mise-en-scene, the performances by Prabhas from Baahubali, Deepika Padukone from Om Shanti Om (2007), and Kamal Haasan from Vikram (2022) add credibility to this spectacular film.
