Asmal

Kaliyugam (2025) is one of those films that just grabs you by the collar and drags you through its world, whether you’re ready or not. Asmal’s vision is dark, gritty, and honestly, a little too real sometimes. The story drops you right into a society that’s sort of falling apart at the seams—think chaos, corruption, and a sense that people have just kind of stopped caring about each other. There’s this raw tension in every scene, the kind that makes you squirm a bit but you can’t look away. You’ve got characters who aren’t your typical heroes. Most of them are just regular folks trying to make sense of a world that’s lost its moral compass. Some are out for themselves, others still holding out hope for something better, but nothing’s black and white. The movie doesn’t spoon-feed you answers, either. It’s messy, complicated, and sometimes you’re left wondering who to root for. There’s a lot about survival—the lengths people will go to when they feel cornered, or desperate, or just plain tired of the way things are. And man, the atmosphere? It’s thick. You can almost taste the dust in the air, hear the distant shouts and sirens. Asmal pulls no punches with the visuals, either. The camera lingers on the ugly bits, the stuff most movies gloss over, and it hits hard. If you’re into stories that ask big questions and don’t really care about neat endings, Kaliyugam (2025) is your kind of ride. It’s bold, a little wild, and sticks with you long after the credits roll.
