Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Complex strands need to be knit in with skill, but poor writing ensures that confusion is completely confounded here. Sep 18, 2023 Full Review Jimmy Cage Jimmy Cage Movie Reviews (YouTube) KAALA might be a bit chaotic and messy, but somehow that almost fits the powerful and highly entertaining mass appeal that with Rajinikanth in the lead and Pa. Ranjith’s clear social touch boils into a rousing slum action drama. Rated: 7/10 Aug 29, 2022 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Slashfilm Ranjith and cinematographer Murali G. capture a locale that, both in Indian and Western cinema, has rarely been shown this lovingly. They explore its nooks, crannies, people and cultures, in what amounts to the most exciting Indian film this year. Aug 7, 2019 Full Review Baradwaj Rangan Film Companion The most mystifying aspect of Kaala, in the context of a mainstream Tamil film, may be how ineffectual the deaths are... Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 29, 2018 Full Review L.M. Kaushik Film Companion Kaala is an engaging political mass entertainer from Ranjith. He utilises Rajini's strengths efficiently, much to the relief of the superstar's fans. Aug 29, 2018 Full Review J Hurtado ScreenAnarchy Not big enough to be bigger than life, but not real enough to be taken seriously outside of his filmy persona, Kaala is a middling film that doesn't seem to know which side of the fence it wants to be on.

Audience Member Though superior to Kabali, it was annoying to see a solid action movie turn into Ranjith's political propaganda in the second half. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Nana Patekar acting performance saved the movie Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Though superior to Kabali, it was annoying to see a solid action movie turn into Ranjith's political propaganda in the second half. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member An okayish first half. Nothing more. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Best "Rajinikanth movie" in the last 10 years Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing Movie! It is not usual Rajni's cliche. It is relevant to today's situation in many places.Though more areas could have been explored, the message comes out strongly. What is more important development or survival? Humanity or ...? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
