Kabali is unlike any Rajnikanth movie you’ve seen so far

Kabali is unlike any Rajnikanth movie you’ve seen so far

Some of my regular readers may realise that I have been missing in action for some time now. While I won’t explain the reasons behind my hiatus, I’d like to say I missed you all.

With that out of the way, on to my job at hand. Is Rajnikanth’s new movie Kabali any good? While it’s not everyday that a Rajni movie releases, it’s even rarer for a state to declare a holiday for the occasion. So as you may realise, the hype was out of this world. So was it worth all of that? Yes, it was, feels this reviewer.

Rajni movies are often associated with impossible scenarios, larger than life villains and leave-your-brain-behind action sequences. All of these are present in Kabali as well, but to a lower extend. It has an able director who keeps the hero’s character grounded.

Kabali is an emotional ride which talks about the life of a gangster who attempts to redeem himself after spending several years in Malaysia’s dark underbelly.

The film shows the conflict between Malaysians and Tamils, with Winston Chao playing a Malaysian gangster.

After being released from jail at the start of the movie, he goes on a journey in search of his wife Kumudhavalli (Radhika Apte) and daughter Yogi (Dhanshika). Rajnikanth’s acting is top notch, as is that of Apte.

If you’re a Rajni fan, go for the movie as it has enough elements to please you. Non-Rajni fans, you too can watch it and maybe become an ‘Annan fan’ afterwards.

Verdict: a movie well worth the wait. Watch it in a full theatre for the full Rajni effect. Eight out of 10.

Expat : Yes, "Kabali" Grossed around 2 Million dollars because you people don't have other work to do so you went to cinemas just to increase the numbers of $....others just watch their fav movies online or at home.

Kabali is an emotional drama of an aged gangster.

Nobody is worshiping him but everybody have grace on him. Whenever his movie is releasing, Its a celebration all over india. He is only the man who is breaking records of Bollywood and he will set a new record.

My dear Amateurs.... Sorry to say but you have no clue who is "Super star Rajinikanth" ... He is only next to Jackie Chan fandom among Asian Actor's.. On popularity he is the only actor in Asia who has acted in only one Hollywood movie but stuns the world wide box office when his movie release. He hold most of the honorable recoginsed awards in India including Pathma vibusan 2016, NDTV Indian of the year Award 2007 and NDTV Entertainer of the decade 2011. Last but not least his recent movie "Kabali" Grossed around 2 Million dollars ($1,922,995) only premier shows which is the best as of any Indian Movie ever "NERUPPU DAA".....

It's craziness is all I see...people are worshipping him..he is after all a good human that's it. Liking a person is very nice but making him god is stupidity.
