Female characters in popular Bollywood movies, like "Kabir Singh'' and "Animal," are often made to be submissive and have little contribution or agency. "Kalki 2898 AD" breaks this mold by portraying women as warriors, leaders, and intellectuals.
Nag Ashwin’s "Kalki 2898 AD" is a visual and storytelling triumph, effortlessly blending ancient history with a futuristic dystopia to craft a narrative that stretches beyond the classical hero's journey. While the film primarily centers on Kalki, the prophesied tenth avatar of Vishnu, it also delves into themes of feminism that resonate deeply with the mission of the Sarvam Foundation.
The Sarvam Foundation tirelessly works to empower women through education and skill development, ensuring they are equipped to make informed decisions about their lives and occupy leadership roles. Both "Kalki 2898 AD" and the Sarvam Foundation strive to break stereotypes and challenge societal norms. Through its various programs, the Sarvam Foundation helps women achieve self-sufficiency so that they can meaningfully contribute to their communities.
One plausible example is the collaboration between the Sarvam Foundation and Howard Heritage. This collaboration resulted in the selection of our three talented Shaktis–Anjali, Priyanka, and Akanksha to perform in the "Kalki 2898 AD" movie shoot. Not only were they paid for their contributions, but they also got to travel to Mathura, showcasing their dedication and talent by learning Kathak in just a few days despite their background in Bharatanatyam dance. Our Shaktis have done a truly stellar job and we are immensely proud of them! Their journey from the dance floor to the film set exemplifies the life-changing impact of empowerment and education.
In essence, "Kalki 2898 AD" and the Sarvam Foundation share a common goal: to empower women and promote a narrative where gender equality is not just an ideal but a practiced reality. Together, they inspire a new generation of women to break boundaries, challenge expectations, and create a brighter, more inclusive future.
