    A MUST WATCH MOVIE!!!

    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.

    Anger personification

    Dulquer and Sai Pallavi are amazing actors but this movie didn't unfold the way we thought so. The movie talks about how one should have control over their actions and anger. Anger can make or break the situation and the movie shows that purely. Overall, it was a fine movie.

    great first half too realistic 2nd half

    Being a Malayali i have always been proud of the way Malayalam film industry prefers realistic portrayals in movies. The main character is not superhuman he or she has flaws he or she is just one among the millions of commoners living together in this society only their story is unique.

    This approach has beyond doubt created many legendary movies yet with kali sadly this same approach backfires slightly. The movie begins in a spectacular fashion carries on the initial intensity till the end yet does not provide the movie with a satisfactory ending which is a little sad.

    yet this movie is beyond doubt watchable and for most part really intriguing. Every single shot, the background score and everything else is picture perfect. Speaking of performances, both Dulquer and Sai pallavi have provided remarkably strong performances alongside vinayakan and chemban vinod jose (i found vinayakan's initial act a bit rusty) who have given good performances.

    A special mention must go to Soubin Sahir (what a find he is!) who provides a remarkably subtle funny performance worth remembering.

    All in all kali is well executed film with some minor yet disappointing shortcomings in script towards the end. Yet it definitely is a movie worth watching once.

    Kali - A thriller that you can't miss out

    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'.

    Very nice movie Hey Pillagada

    Very very good acting, very nice story, and awesome thrilling last 45 minutes. I connect with the thrill. Good direction. Its not a masala movie. People who loves masala entertain, action , kissing scene or half naked girl dancing on the floor. Sorry its not for u. I loved ending scene.. don't show your anger or fighting everywhere but if it ever comes to your family dont spare anyone..loved it

      This is the second movie of SaiPallavi who is famously known for her known as malar in Premam.
    • Goofs
      Anjali (Sai Pallavi) packs her bags and leaves Siddharth's house to go to her mother's place. Ideally, since she is leaving him and going to another state, she should be carrying her purse with her. However, later when Siddharth asks her for money, she says she doesn't have any.
