Verdict
“In an overwhelming 'Rajini' experience, you sadly get an underwhelming script! ”
May be, Superstar Rajinikanth's Kabali should have been marketed as an emotional drama but the makers promoted it as a gangster flick but there is no adrenaline rush in the characterization of the protagonist as we are only told about his greatness but couldn't feel the same with the screenplay flow!
Rajinikanth comes out of his twenty fuvt years of prison life but he's not at all surprised by the technology advancements and everything happens to him quite easily, which is the biggest drawback of Kabali.
While director Ranjith has Brilliantly extracted the best from his actors and technicians, he himself failed in writing flawless and effective screenplay and characterization in Kabali.
Yes, Dhanshikaa acts well, Radhika Apte shines and Rajinikanth steals the show while Santhosh Narayanan and Murali have given stellar music and amazing visuals but where is effective direction Ranjith? Is Ranjith is the same director, who wrote the epic Madras? After watching Kabali, everyone will ask the same question. Who knows, even Ranjith would have already asked this question to himself for at least thousand times.
