Shivaji Rao Gaekwad aka RAJNI the numero Super Star of Indian Cinema. Charisma is his definition and Style is his representation; that raw magnetism seduces scores of people into thronging the theaters across the globe. To top, his simplicity and earthy nature have augmented his ever growing fan base. No wonder, his movies were used as a case study to analyze the business of Indian cinema.
Kabali is Pa Rajnith's 3rd directorial venture. He sure did taste success with his first two outings. Rajni is at his stylish best in Kabali. Pa Ranjit needs to be lauded undoubtedly for showcasing Rajni in such a sleeky classy way. The way Rajni is presented with thumping BGM sure gives you goose bumps and instantly raises decibel levels in the auditorium. Adrenaline pumping, electrifying, Pure Rajni delirium. Rajni's acting is top notch and is a discourse for all the current gen and upcoming artistes. Thaliava daa !!
When you have a super star like RAJNI, half the battle is already won. The other half depends on how well you have unfolded the story. Pa Ranjit miserably fails in this aspect. The narration is dead slow even for a passionate moviegoer. Even a snail would have crawled faster. I could hear the seconds hand ticking on my watch. "Wtf, this is Rajni's movie dude. Don't do this Pa Ranjit" whined my Rajni frenzy mind and continued it's love-hate relationship with the director. There are so many scenes which could have been chopped off on the editing table. Also, to bring out the right emotions in a drama, you need to cast the right folks. Except for Thailava, Radhika Apte and Winston Chao all the other supporting cast were not up to the snuff. Music by Santosh Narayan is superb and Neruppu Da (I luv the tamil version) has already topped the chart busters and continues to enthrall music lovers around the world as I write about it. BGM impresses in bits.
Someone told me that a picture is worth a thousand words....so here's Kabali graph /\___^^___/\ - The first 15 min movie sky rockets, then crashes like the stock market during a recession, next for a few blocks in between wakes you up from slumber and gives you the much required kick and finally the last 15 min provide you a proper adieu. Rest all is Hum Ka'Bali'. Neruppu Da gets dampened due to the icy cold storyline.
Kabali was made for the love of a man. (fyi, 'For the love of a man' is a documentary made in 2015 exploring Rajni's craze). It's a decent attempt to showcase Rajni's trademark style and niagara the auditorium with his aura. Better focus on story and narration could have fully satiated the audience. If you have enough patience to remain idle in the dark for over an hr in an auditorium filled with hundreds of like minded fans, then try not to miss this one for RAJNI. PS: If you are uncertain of handling the in between 'bali', then the teaser is the best option. You can watch it umpteen times on youtube !!
