Yes, you will get 5x rewards and you will be charged a conversion fee. I have purchased several flights from foreign airlines.

Ok conversion fee means converting Rs to usd. That is ok but will I be charged with forex charge @3.5% also with Atlas card. If I purchase ticket of Rs 1 lakh with Atlas card how much approx will be charge extra?

Yes, there will be 3.5% conversion charge. For 1 lakh, obviously 3,500. That is the conversion fee.

Then you have enough time to reach milestones in both the cards
If you want Marriott points right now for the trip then
Amex platinum travel
Otherwise
Atlas
If you are going to utilise Marriott points, do check the point value. If it suits you then go ahead.
Please check the point value
I am assuming you have more spending (~6.6L) before renewal dates.

It will be 3.5% + GST = 4.13% total fees charged for transaction in foreign currency on Atlas
