Kaala is a character based action movie. It begins with an animated story-telling device just the way Bahubali begins. The movie deals with evil politicians, and land mafia, planning to sabotage the slums of Dharavi to make it all digitized. Kaala,the protagonist is an established King of Dharavi, and rules the heart of people there, no one messes with him. Zareena (played beautifully by Huma Qureshi) is kaala’s ex-lover, which the viewers get to know after the dinner scene that is picturised between them. The pre-interval block has a typical masala stunt sequence, and is undoubtedly a treat for Rajnikanth’s fans. Sparks start flying once Nana Patekar, who played the role of the antagonist Hari Dada, enters the scene.
After the interval Hari dada’s chase begins in which he conspires to seek revenge, and deprives Kaala of his loved ones. But slowly, the issue of “how the oppressed continue to be suppressed by the rich, and bourgeoisie unless they raise their voice against the oppression” comes into consideration. kaala infuses his people with zeal, and motivates them to use their body as weapon. He encourages them to shut Mumbai with a continuous strike as the slum dwellers are the wheels that bear the responsibility of running the city as taxi drivers, municipality staff, vendors, and so on. Thus, Mumbai comes to a standstill.
Director, Ranjith tosses the age-old classical that depicts white as clean, and pure-and black as evil. In kaala, Ram is bad, and Ravan is good. The confrontation scenes between Nana Patekar & Rajinikanth is worth the watch. Ranjith as a brilliant writer, and director, feeds the appetite of Rajinikanth fans with such beautiful, and lively climax. This would be remembered as one of the best climaxes in a Rajinikanth movie.
