![]() ![]() The film can be a visual treat for those who love action movies. Though there is a lot of extreme action in the film, it ends on a different note and also offers the audience an intriguing message. The song featured at the climax portion is also catchy. The beautiful cinematography by Akhil George and the gripping stunts by Phoenix Prabhu enhance the film’s appeal by leaps and bounds and there is never a dull moment in the film, as far as stunts are concerned. Lal and Divya Pillai appear as Shaji's father and wife respectively and they too have done their parts well. Moor is exceptional as the Tamilian, who is willing to go to any length to prove his point. Shaji is not like any of Tovino’s previous characters and he portrays its ‘clumsy-yet-stylish’ personality with elan. When it comes to performance, both Tovino and Moor have beautifully pulled off their roles. The location of the story also gives out the same vibe as the characters and it offers the makers ample scope for experiment too. The film’s story is something that happens within a day, in a constricted environment comprising of a forest and a house. But, the first half, where the characters are established, lags a bit. The intense and brutal conflict between the duo in the second half is the most exciting part of Kala. They are equally competitive in establishing their point. However, things change when Narayankutty returns. After the initial resistance, Subhadramma agrees to their marriage. Shivankutty, her neighbor is a linesman who is in love with her daughter Parvathy. ![]() Rohith and his co-writer Yadhu Pushpakaran have treated both the characters fairly. Subhadramma is a gutsy woman who raises her two daughters single-handedly after her husband Narayankutty deserts her. ![]() As for his opponent, a Tamilian played by Sumesh Moor, he never budges to Shaji's ego. The lead character Shaji, played by Tovino, is egoistic and narcissistic. One might call it a mind-game, but the movie is more about the primitive traits that lie dormant in humans. ![]() Like Wilde's quote suggests, Rohith's psychological thriller deals with the raw, basic instincts of human beings. One day, a small group of labourers reaches their place to harvest arecanut and one among them, has a mission. Their main source of income is farming and nobody except Shaji’s relatives and daily wage workers visit the place. The film’s story gets unfurled in the wilderness, where Shaji (Tovino Thomas) and his family lives. Kala, directed by Rohith V S, begins with this quote by Oscar Wilde. Review: ‘Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.’ Story: The life of Shaji, a laid-back youngster, turns upside down when someone from his past pays him a visit. ![]()
