Originally titled Blue Film, storywriter felt it was to risqué and changed it to Kalyug. "Don't expect sex though, Mahesh tells us. "It will not promote sex. It's not a sex film." So just what is Kalyug about then? His claim is that it is "a film about the war against pornography."

Kunal Darr (Kunal Khemu) seems to lead a fairly normal, routine life. One day, fate brings Renuka (Smily Suri), a young orphan girl to his doorstep. The two soon fall in love and get married. But the marital bliss stops abruptly on the wedding night and their world is turned upside-down forever.

Unknown to the happy couple, their most sacred and intimate moments are captured on videotape. Kunal and Renuka are arrested. He is charged with making blue films. Renuka is unable to deal with the humiliation and commits suicide.

In order to prove his innocence, Kunal must uncover the truth behind the blue film racket. As he begins his self-imposed mission, he is lead straight to the dark underbelly of Zurich and the world of Kalyug. Saturated with strip shows, xxx clubs, s and m bars, legalized prostitution and drugs… it is going to take all the strength Kunal has to conquer this war against pornography. Armed with only a picture of a famous Indian porn star – Annie (Deepal Shaw), Kunal gets ready to find and fight a faceless foe.
Unfortunately, what Kunal doesn't realize is that in this "Kalyug" one man's tragedy is another man's entertainment. The rules in this kind of business dictate that as long as there is a demand for blue films, someone will be there to supply them. In a race against time, Kunal has to quickly learn the ropes, if he is going to succeed in exposing the leaders, which include the highest strata of society in Switzerland.

Will Kunal be able to find Annie? Is she the enemy he is really looking for? And will Kunal be able to hold onto his morality in his all consuming desire for revenge?

Emran Hashmi makes a special appearance with his new look (pierced eyebrows and red hair), as Alibhai, the owner of a sex-shop in Amsterdam.

Amrita Singh makes her comeback to the silver screen in a negative role of a woman in control of the pornographic industry.

Kalyug has a 2006 release.
