Kaalakaandi

Delhi Belly created a benchmark in Indian cinema under the black comedy category. It was funny, humorous, and dark which made the film entertaining. Despite the fact that Kaalakaandi didn't create so much hype for the audience and just found out about the film at the last minute, I decided to go and watch it after seeing the trailer.

So a banker named Rauleen, who has the decency of any other human being by the fact that he doesn't drink, smoke, do drugs, or even eat butter has been diagnosed with stomach cancer and only has 3 months to live. So with these 3 months, he decides to change himself by drinking and doing drugs and going full on himself. Then there are few more parallel stories such as 2 gangsters that are hungry for money from their boss to a couple that go through certain situations. How these stories collide is basically what this film is about?

Let me start off by saying this, I thought that this could just be a timepass but quite to my surprise, I quite enjoyed this film. Akshat Verma who also wrote Delhi Belly managed to implement this with good ease. The jokes in the movie were so funny and realistic that the factors were there necessary to fulfill a good entertaining watch. The writing was good and the dialgues were simplistically consistent throughout the film

The acting in the movie was simply spot on. Saif Ali Khan gives a remarkable performance as Rauleen and the dialogues helmed by him just chuckled the living shit out of me. Vijay Raaz's take on giving foul words doesn't disappoint and he was also the hilarious factor in the film. Deepak Dobriyal was also amazing in his part and I really do fanboy him as an actor. Shenaz Treasury plays a hoity toity character and she was doggone good in the film. Kunaal Roy Kapur was just there because when I saw him Delhi Belly, he was cracked up well but in this film, he doesn't become the victim in any situation.

The music is average and the tracks doesn't have anything melodious to offer.

The pacing trips after quite some time because you will get the feeling that the film is doing well in soem point of time but later something interferes with that moment and yeah some scenes were direct ripoffs of Delhi Belly.

The direction was okay because the angles weren't shot properly and dutch angles were just unnecessary

Overall, I enjoyed watching a black comedy fater so many ages. It's dark, crude, hilarious, and peculiar. Definitely check this out in a theater near you.

3/5 - Bollywood is starting with something good.

An illogical, absurd, fun, enjoyable, new age story comprising of 3-4 sub stories somehow linked together... A fun ride of one long night.. it's mostly abt drugs, weed.. but having said that this is Saif Ali khan's best performance till date.. he's opened up and big time.. his comic timing is apt right througout the movie.. for the likes of him, an underrated actor, who was probably not choosing the right kinda scripts, it's a movie to bring him back on track.. its a "coming of age" kinda film for him.. like he says "Aisa Maine pehle kyon Nahi Kiya"!! The supporting cast was good as well.. not a bad one time watch...

I have never reviewed a movie before but i had to write this one as people are criminally underrating it. It's refreshing to watch how lives of different people are roped together. The sub par yet rejuvenating writing is backed by tremendous performances by everyone especially Vijay Raaz, Deepak Dobriyal and Saif Ali Khan.

One of the most underrated movie in its genre. One of the most underrated movie of this decade. A good plot and story with a great performance by Saif Ali Khan (which proves my theory that bearded Saif delivers masterpieces Sirtaj from Sacred Games, Laal Kaptaan, Race and Omkara) Flow of the story is smooth despite being multiple story lines. New actors have given above average acting. Do not go in expecting Delhi Belly because that was a comedy and this is a pure Dark, Brut and Bold comedy. I can watch it more than once

Akshat Verma is famous for his dark humor and mad plot. After giving Delhi Belly as a writer, returns as a writer-director for this film, starring Saif Ali Khan, Deepak Dobriyal, Vijay Raaz, etc.

The film is all about what happened on that one night. Three parallel stories have been running in a city on the same night. There is no connection between them. But the screenplay has been written very well that we feel connected towards all of them from the very first scene of each stories.

Though, I believe that the most funny and fast paced story is the one between Vijay Raaz and Deepak Dobriyal. These two guys have chatted brilliantly about their plans and dreams in the most hilarious way. I want to thank CBFC for not deleting or muting any cuss words from this film, so that we can able to enjoy it in right manner. Without these words, What could Vijay Raaz do! LOL.

Kunaal Roy Kapoor and Shobhita Dhulipala with other two actors are there to just give us an idea what could happen in a party. Also, the other factor, which you will find out while watching, is bit overly handled according to me. That's the one thing I didn't like in this film.

The main part, or my favorite, is of Saif Ali Khan's! He has played an absolutely new character on screen. I wish I could have given chance...But, never mind! Saif has done his job superbly. Kudos to the thinker who thought the imagination and created the visuals of Saif's character. These are the highlights of the film. Isha Talwar is sweet and beautiful in her short role. Akshay Oberoi gives full support to his on screen brother Saif. By far, this story is the main part, (amm yes you got it right), of this film Kaalakaandi.

Bollywood is changing day by day. This is one of the changes. Many would not like the ending scene, but, I completely laughed out loud on that. Because you have to remember that this is just a mad, crude, creepy film. I am sure if you invest your time into this, you definitely forget all your problems. In fact, you'll forget your real life too and get trapped into this mad world! It is different from Delhi Belly. Humor is less here. Life and death and Karma... in an adult movie, which I think is only for youngsters. After watching this, I would say: Fuck the rest, Let the Karma do the Best! Enjoy!
