Trivia
The 3 tigers in the scene where they corner Vivek Oberoi and John Abraham against the jeep are the same tigers used in the movie Gladiator (2000).

Goofs
There is a sheet of paper on which the national park's rules are printed. One of the park officers states that those are in English on the front and in Hindi on the back. However, there are several other shots in which it is plain that the back of the sheets is blank.

Quotes
Krish Thapar: [Compiling his report in the movie's conclusion in a background voice] Dev was absolutely correct. Our biggest triumph would be making it out of Orbit Park alive. We did. And we also uncovered the truth behind the events which were the reason for the murders taking place there. My biggest regret is that I had never imagined I'd lose Riya in this venture and worst of all, the memories of Kali Pratap Singh would never ever let any of us forget what we went through.

Watching National Geographic is better

Plot Outline: Tourists Dev (Vivek Oberoi), Ishika (Lara Dutta) and two friends explore Orbit National Park, a tiger haven. They meet Wildlife experts Krish (John Abraham) and Riya (Esha Deol) who are exploring recent mysterious man-eater killings for National Geographic Channel. They are joined by Kali (Ajay Devgan) who takes up the challenge of guiding them though the mysteries of the jungle.

Comment: Kaal is pot-pourri of Ram Gopal Verma and Karan Johar's styles since Writer/Director Soham had been an assistant to both. RGV's style is visible in the thriller plot, pale ghosts and bizarre deaths. Johar didn't forget to cast SRK, this time in an Item number. The movie shares similarities with Ghost and the Darkness, Wrong Turn, etc.

There isn't much acting to see, thanks to the incoherent script and lack of room for characters to grow. Music is decent; choreography is stereotype. Jim Corbett National Park is well captured. No wonder they are facing a suit for the alleged violation of the Wildlife act.

Rating: 2/5
