The Dystopian Narrative and Social Commentary

Set in the dystopian year of 2040, UI explores a world devastated by global crises including COVID-19, the rise of artificial intelligence and social media, and protracted warfare. The society of this bright future is poverty-stricken, externally while the people clutch the irrelevance of caste as an identity. The role of the citizens who are blindly being manipulated by those in power — the citizens who continue to live in ignorance. The film is supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek social commentary — look at how we are all brainwashed into accepting the current state of affairs.

It is about a psychological warfare between a king and an incredible man whose cunningness allows him to defeat the king and take hold of the town as its new tyrant. Warner, the film’s trailer, offers an insight into its central themes and conflicts — one that promises a thrilling journey ahead.
