Kali

This review note was written on March 28, 2016 · 
With my limited Malayalam vocabulary, I had never thought "Kali" could mean "rage"! "Kali" to my knowledge has always been "play", "fun" and words synonymous to those.
Dulquer and Sai Pallavi showed so eloquently to us what Kali is and what kind of impact it can have in our daily lives.
Dulquer as the angry young (and handsome) man hits it out of the park yet again! Is he Mammooty's son? Really?? Other than his handsome looks, he doesn't show any traces of being the Mega Star's son! Very clearly he has beautifully carved a space for himself. Way to go, Lad! The audience is always in a state of panic watching him get enraged at the drop of a hat. "Mookin thumbathu desham". Very well done!!!
Sai Pallavi.... Is she just good? Man! She's very, very good! Her expressions are awesome. She carries at least 20 minutes of the film just on her shoulders showing multifarious expressions of fear, anxiety, helplessness, despair- all just facial- super girl! Very few can pull such act off so well, these days!! To me, you clearly belong to the Saritha school of acting. Just work on your Malayalam more.

Music by Gopi Sundar... Classic! Especially the pounding of chanda whenever Dulquer gets irritated and angry (that is, every 10th minute in the movie)... And fading that out when he composes himself...It's super! Background score throughout is great! So apt!!
Kudos to the director Sameer Thahir and cinematographer Gireesh Gangadharan! The car chase scene in the night on the highways that are so narrow, is worth a special mention. Keeps the audience in the edge of their seats.
Quite a racy movie! See how a normal trait of a man is made into a 2.5 hrs movie that is thrilling!! Must watch!!
