Kaala Karikalan Review
Superstar Rajinikanth’s Kaala is an overwhelming movie based on Dharavi Don.
Ratings: 3 out of 5 by Indian Express
Kaala isn’t a Rajinikanth film — it is a Pa Ranjith film starring actor Rajinikanth; not the superstar, mind you.

Kaala Karikaalan, the don who rules Dharavi, is not the star of the story. The plot revolves around the people who live in Mumbai’s sprawling slum.

A high-voltage action-packed film with a strong political core, Kaala unleashes Rajinikanth in the garb of a ‘real’ character, instead of the unstoppable comic-strip superman that he has usually played on the big screen in recent years.

Rajinikanth is fierce as Kaala and plays his role according to his age. The usual Rajini swag is in full flow and no unnecessary heroism has been created as Rajini looks and plays his age gracefully.
