UI is a 2024 Indian Kannada-language sci-fi dystopian action film directed by Upendra, who also stars in dual roles as Satya and Kalki. The narrative explores a fictional world plagued by environmental degradation and societal fragmentation due to human greed and political corruption. Satya embodies virtue and strives to bring positive change, while Kalki seeks to punish humanity for its ignorance, leading to an intense ideological clash between the two.

The film delves into themes of revenge, justice, and redemption, presenting a satirical commentary on modern society’s complexities. Upendra employs metaphors to convey his political and social philosophy, challenging viewers to reflect on their own perspectives.

Despite its ambitious narrative, UI received mixed reviews, with critics noting its unconventional storytelling and abstract execution, which may leave audiences perplexed.

Technically, the film features a unique visual style, with B. Ajaneesh Loknath’s background score complementing the film’s tone. However, some critics pointed out that the film’s chaotic screenplay and disjointed narrative might detract from its overall impact.

UI challenges traditional cinematic norms, offering a thought-provoking experience that encourages introspection on societal issues.
