Surrealist Action Thriller
According to the makers, UI is a surrealist action thriller film set in a futuristic set-up. The release date announcement poster and video spellbound, as they show Upendra in a petrifying avatar. The actor-director is sitting on a throne with a weird looking crown with multiple horns branching out and a sword in his hand.
All in all, the futuristic set-up gives an impression of a dystopian world or closer to the depiction of ‘hell’!
