Review of Kala

Kala (I) (2021)
7/10
A simple revenge turns to be a survival thriller
28 May 2021
Well the plot seems very familiar but portrayed skillfully by placing Tovino as antagonist in this metaphor. The plot thread seems splendid except the unwanted dramatic quick insert and cutaway shots which doesn't add up anything all. Instead, had this been treated rather rustic and raw it would have been a revenge thriller monument but the entire feat seems ruined by juxtaposing shots and cutaways in the first half, heavily inspired from French/German psycho thrillers. Yet the movie is satisfactory, considering it keeps evey audient on the edge while Tovino and Sumesh, the protagonist run us through a raging outrageous rather deadly combat. A special mention to Tovino who decided to break his mold of a usual heroic portrayals and chose to play the contender and Sumesh Moor who is the piece de resistance, of the movie, brings his furious rage to its zenith and leaves us swearing and cussing. The background score at some were annoying and amateurish due to outpouring of scores at undesirable moments where utter silence would have elevated the thrilling sequences. Nevertheless, the setting, backdrop, stunt choreo, and casting were all the takeaways.
