Comment: Almost all sources are unreliable that are mostly blogs or personal user websites. RangersRus (talk) 15:19, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Comment: Fails the requirements of WP:NFILM, noting IMDb is not an acceptable or reliable source. Without suitable verifiable secondary sources the article is all original research. Dan arndt (talk) 08:43, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Comment: Looks like the film released but no critical reviews can be found. If the film did release and you can find multiple critical reviews, please add them to pass notability. RangersRus (talk) 12:41, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Comment: Better to wait till close to release date if it gets announced or even better to keep in draft till release so that significant coverage with multiple critical reviews can be added to pass notability. RangersRus (talk) 19:59, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Post-Production

Editing is handled by Nimz (Nimal Nazeer), known for Abhilasam. Dawn Vincent composed the score and designed the film's soundscape, with Tapas Nayak handling the sound mix. Visual effects are managed by CA Digital Studios in collaboration with a Turkish VFX team. Title designs were created by Sarath Vinu and Deepak LM.

Themes

Kaliyugam presents a psychological exploration of humanity amidst societal collapse. It tackles issues such as greed, oppression, and moral decay, offering a commentary on the psychological costs of survival. The narrative juxtaposes large-scale destruction with personal internal conflict.

Music

The film's music is composed by Kerala State Award winner Dawn Vincent. The soundtrack includes Tamil and Telugu songs that reflect the emotional core of the story.
