Kaala

2018, Tamil, Disney Hotstar, 6.7/10 IMDB, Directed by Pa. Ranjith

Kaala- Karigalan, First Day First Show-A subtle yet scary experience with Black Clad men screaming around you.

Rajinikanth playing a role his age is the prime treat of Kaala💓

Ishwari rao steals the show next only to the super star, because he just emotes with ease in many moments like when he sees huma and admires her ear drop, looks when she doesnt look, just like a teenager, regrets with anger on his face when he slaps his son, subtle emotions when he disagrees with huma and so many such instances you just love his performances😎

Teaser revealed the plot which sounded like a mundane mumbai slum dwellers Vs powerful evil builders but the treatment is sensible and justified. Watch out for the powerful background score, especially when rajini and nana patekar appears on the screen💪🏼

Mani rathnam style naration of ramayan and relating the present-awesome👌🏼

Postives:
-Thlaivar playing his age
-Ishwari rao
-awesomely performing star studded casting
-police station sequence
-fight in the rain
– climax
-Background score

Negatives:
-slow paced 2nd half -lack of connect with the happenings towards the end
-contrast to thalaivar’s real life stand on thothukudi political scenario 🤐
-ranjith’s repetition of madras, atakathi movie like scenes and characterisation. He used #semmaweight of rajni to speak his own anti BJP and pro dalit views which resulted in a mis-match to thalaivar’s political views😬
