Cardinals from around the world will begin casting their votes for a new pope under Michelangelo’s The Last Judgment as 133 cardinals would begin their secretive and centuries-old ritual to elect the successor of Pope Francis, who passed away on April 21. The conclave to select the new pope will begin behind the closed doors of the Sistine Chapel on Wednesday afternoon as cardinals from 70 countries will be secluded, their cellphones surrendered and airwaves around the Vatican jammed to find the next leader of the 1.4-billion-member Catholic Church.

The conclave will start behind the closed doors of the Sistine Chapel on Wednesday afternoon, with all cardinals under the age of 80 able to vote on who should be the next leader of the 1.4-billion-member Church.

The colour of the smoke that emerges from the chimney tells the world what happened inside: black smoke means no decision has been reached, while white smoke heralds the election of a new pope.

As the world waits for the secret conclave to elect late Pope Francis’ successor, Ralph Fiennes-led political thriller Conclave, which revolves around the secretive process of selecting a new pope, has found its way to the OTT space in India. The film is streaming in India on Prime Video. 

On Wednesday, Prime Video announced the India premiere of the BAFTA-winning and Oscar-nominated film, which is based on Robert Harris’s 2016 novel. The critically acclaimed, award-winning film will be streaming in India from May 7.
