The movie has been cleared by the CBFC with a U/A certificate and runs for approximately 132 minutes, ensuring a compact yet engaging viewing experience.
Set in a dystopian 2040, UI explores a world grappling with the aftermath of pandemics, artificial intelligence, global warming, and societal conflicts. The film delves into a psychological battle between a king and a highly intelligent individual who overthrows him, becoming a dictator.
The trailer, titled Warner, teases the film’s central theme of power struggles and societal manipulation. It highlights how people are conditioned to ignore critical issues while clinging to outdated beliefs and labels. Through this, UI aims to deliver a thought-provoking commentary on modern social challenges.
The narrative sheds light on how individuals are influenced by authority and distracted from real problems by superficial divides like caste and social status. By addressing these issues, UI seeks to resonate with audiences and provoke critical thinking about the state of society.
The film’s satellite rights have been acquired by Zee Kannada, while details about digital streaming rights are yet to be announced. Fans of South Indian cinema can look forward to experiencing this intriguing sci-fi thriller on the big screen.
