    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.

    Masterpiece

    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.

    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.

    A movie worth watching

    Another fantastic work from Dulquer Salman and Sai Pallavi. The movie starts showing the local goons taking over a hotel, which doesn't seem to have a connection with the movie in the first half. But the dots are connected so well that you get an explanation for every little detail at the end of the movie. The writers and the directors surely deserve praise for their work.

    Both DQ and Sai Pallavi were amazing in their roles. DQ portrays different shades of anger so well, you can literally feel the anger inside you. On the contrary, the loving side of Sai Pallavi shows us the peaceful side of love and caring, even when everything goes wrong.

    The last half was surely a thrilling one. I was literally feeling the fear of losing someone of my own. How will you feel when you realize that you might lose your dearest one tonight? A perfect blend of love and anger, this movie is worth watching a second time.

    Decent watch

    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.
