BUJJI FROM KALKI 2898 A.D.
xBhp|August-September '2024
The story of our experience with perhaps India’s first iconic sci-fi vehicle; we drive the Bujji from Kalki 2898 A.D.
SUNDEEP GAJJAR AKA
BUJJI FROM KALKI 2898 A.D.

Media has been around for a long time and for as long as it has existed, it has captured people’s imaginations. Plays, music, movies, and so on have served as a playground for the most creative minds around the world. As a result, it has given humankind lots of icons; people, places, and things; they have been a testament to the fact that imagination truly has no limit. Before now, we have always looked to the West for these icons. Now though, it is all set to change. Kalki 2898 A.D. speaks volumes of India’s prowess and along with laying the foundation for an expansive cinematic universe, it has also given us motorheads and pop-culture buffs an icon… welcome the Bujji!

PowerTour 2024 is on and we have started with a bang. In this particular passion project of mine, I go around the world piloting some of the best machines in the world. Supercars, superbikes, super-trikes (if that is a thing) and then contraptions like the Bujji! Created for Kalki 2898 A.D. right here in India, I am thrilled to get to drive India’s very first and very own sci-fi machine. It is a dream come true and I believe that we could not have started the Power Tour 2024 on a better note!

Starting with the name, Bujji means little or cute in Telugu. While the vehicle is anything but, the name refers to the small AI-powered humanoid that controls the vehicle. Before we talk about it anymore, just look at it. It looks straight out of a Hollywood sci-fi flick but it is as indigenous as they come. In the realm of science-fiction and pop culture, this is the most insane thing in India right now. Right now, is the keyword… piqued your interest? Keep on reading.
