Of brave narratives & stunning visuals
Kaala
Kaala, a Tamil language political drama film, is written and directed by Pa. Ranjith and produced by Dhanush under his banner Wunderbar Films.
Starring Rajinikanth in the lead role, the film was announced in 2016 but was postponed until June due to the standoff between Nadigar Sangam and Digital Service Providers on the increase of virtual print fee charges along with the 2018 Tamil Nadu protests for Kaveri water sharing issue which also led to the delay in release of other Tamil films.
The film is based in Mumbai where people who had migrated from Tirunelveli district, Tamil Nadu, are living in the Dharavi slum.
Brave narrative
I love the film. It raises all the right questions and has a very brave narrative. Rajnikanth, as always, has delivered a rocking performance.

Strong message
It’s a nice film and has a strong message. It questions the ridged hierarchical structure of power and talks of common people. You constantly keep seeing wall paintings of BR Ambedkar in Dharavi. It has a cultural and sociological narrative, not just the political drama.
Sushil Kumar Thakur, businessperson
Quite relatable
It’s a great film. Rajnikanth has acted really well and the dialogues, in particular, are very interesting. I loved watching it and it’s quite relatable too, politically speaking!

Thrills that don’t kill
It’s an extraordinary film. I really like they way they build suspense; I was on the edge of my seat till the last scene. It’s a must-watch.
