Rajinikanth's Kabaali Review

I am neither a regular movie goer nor commentator of them, but certainly fan of superstar “Rajinikanth”. My admiration started with “Basha”, doubled with “Narasimha” then into leaps and bounds with “Robo”.

Watching “Kab a a li”, on the first day is special.  The initial and final parts of the movie deserve the loud and continuous whistles and clapping where Rajinikanth dominates the silver screen as king of Indian movies.His stylish dresing style other than "lungi" is top class, but traditional looks much better.

For the story part, Rajinikanth’s played the role of Malaysian gangster with Indian roots. The emergence of crowning him as head leads to in-fight. In one such incident superstar gets separated with his pregnant wife and lands in jail.

After 25 years of jail term, Rajinikanth starts searching for his missing wife, meanwhile taking the revenge whoever disturbed his life.  In the midst of all this, he meets his daughter in a real movie style twist, as well as his wife just before climax to settle the gang’s related rivalry.

The movie does not have any typical Rajinikanth style comedy or big family twists generally linked with parents/brothers/sisters and friends as in “Basha” and “Narasimha”.  But very few scenes where guns drop into his hands from sleeves is extraordinary and apart from these I think they could not satisfy the expectations of Thalaivar fans.

The movie not connected with immediate Indian background is quite disappointing. Really, missed the stylish cigar lightning and flashing it into the air.  But as a fan of Rajni, want to see his next movie linked with family relations and dominating the anti-social elements in his old style.
