This is supposedly among the most expensive Bollywood movies ever made. It opens worldwide on June 26th, 2024 (a few US theaters will be showing it in IMAX. Nobody here seems to be showing the 3D version).

The cast includes Deepika Padukone, who is reportedly India's highest-paid actress.



The official synopsis:

In 2898 AD, the desertified city of Kasi is now the only city known to exist, ruled by a totalitarian elite, led by god king Supreme Yaskin, from a hovering inverted-pyramidal-megastructure above the city, known as the "Complex". Set against the backdrop of ancient Indian Hindu mythology and a dystopian society, the story chronicles the journey spanning millennia, from the events of the Mahabharata in the year 3102 BC, the beginning of Kali Yuga, to 2898 AD. The core of the narrative revolves around the arrival of enigmatic figure of Kalki, the tenth and final avatar of the Hindu deity, Vishnu.
