Kali

Kali was again a high hope release coming from DQ and Samir Thahir. Kali is a movie about an incident in the life of a short tempered young guy who gets into trouble due to his anger issues.

DQ plays the lead role and Sai Pallavi is his wife. Due to an outburst by DQ, Sai Pallavi leaves home and the story is what happens after that. Soubin, Vinayakan and Chemban are the other stars in the movie. Vinayakan and Chemban have decent roles and have excelled. Chemban as a truck driver is intimidating.

Another impressive factor about the movie is the background music. It's a big factor in creating the mood for the film. The lead actors have done justice to their roles. I found it entertaining overall, but lacking nuances in the story.

I loved the natural flawless acting of Sai & Dq (As i'm completely done with bollywood actor's over acting). I have no clue why some people rated this movie so low. Its a masterpiece, i came across such a movie after so long.The story build up is really commendable, suspence was top notch too. Its first time ever, that i have appreciated action scenes of a movie, was totally in awe. I guess we should start appreciating such realistic movies while avoiding the overdramatic movie sequences. I believe Its not just a one time watch but an experience to cherish forever for a moviejunkie.Overall great movie, tremendous acting & direction.

Kali is a thriller which makes you tensed, excited and emotional. The film is a story of an angry young man Siddarth(Dulquer Salman) and his wife, Anjali(Sai Pallavi).

The first half shows how loose tempered is Siddarth. He goes insane for smallest of things. Overall, it is decently paced with some comedies and romance of Siddarth and Anjali.

The chemistry of Salman and Pallavi were awesome. They were not acting instead, they lived.

The audience were in loud cheers when Soubin shows up. He made an instant impact with the first dialogue itself. The caliber of PT mash of Premam is second to none.

The film goes to another level from the interval scene. It changes from an entertainer to thriller genre. I can't even explain what was going through my mind but what I can say is, I was a lot tensed and excited to know what to follow.

Each and every scene of the second half will make you thrilled. Chemban Vinod and Vinayakan once again show that Malayalam film industry is in safe hands.

Kudos to Sai Pallavi. She showed that she is not a one time wonder. She acted superbly, sorry she lived. Her performance will make you emotional for sure.

May I know is there anyone who still says Dulquer stays in the industry just because he is the son of the great Mammoty? He improves with each and every film. He delivered a matured and lively performance. I can't say this is his career best but it's right up there as one of the best.

The only negative I felt was climax could have been made a little better. Overall, it is a must watch movie for all.

Rating:4/5

Box office: Superhit/Megahit

NB: For me, I enjoyed the film better than 'Maheshinte Prathikaram' and 'Action Hero Biju'.

The Opening Scene of Hotel leaves an impression through out the first half and your mind starts asking you for its relevance in the movie and few might answer themselves for a possible link in the second half. And the moment the pair goes into the hotel it gets stronger. Overall it is well picturized where emoting anger for petty issues is shown as a problem and it gets as serous as it gets towards the endof the movie and this is so much required to be shown in current age of cinema where anger is misunderstood as attitude and is followed as a fashion. Thanks to movies like kabir singh, Udtha Punjab etc. This movie grows slowly upto first half and you will understand that in the last 25minutes of the movie where how the problem of protagonist leading himself to and how he handles himself and stay cool inspite of circumstances force him unlike his usual instinct of wrongfull use of anger. Sai pallavi and dulqer where very good. Director handled this pretty well. A Must watch if you have loved protagonist with anger issues.

I don't know why people gave it low ratings. I have only one word to describe this movie and that is MASTERPIECE. Plot, acting, action scenes, screen play, cinematography everything is just perfect. A must watch movie.
