Plot[edit]

In Mumbai, the people who had migrated from Tamil Nadu are living in the Dharavi slum. Union Minister Haridev 'Hari Dhadha' Abhayankar (Nana Patekar), previously a gangster who had carried out attacks in Dharavi, tries to evict the people and seize their land. Over the years, he becomes a minister and plans to clear the area to construct buildings using his construction company in the form of government schemes with the help of his supporter Vishnu Bhai (Sampath Raj).

However, Karikaalan (Rajinikanth), living in Dharavi, opposes it to protect the area and his people. His ex-lover Zareena (Huma Qureshi) returns to her native Dharavi as a representative NGO that hopes to improve the living standards in Dharavi, unbeknownst of Hari Dhadha’s intentions. Hari Dhadha’s assassination attempt on Kaala, in order to take control of the area, kills Kaala’s wife Selvi (Easwari Rao) and elder son Selvam (Dileepan). Kaala then decides to take revenge on Hari Dhadha.

Hari Dhadha threatens the people in Dharavi by creating problems, but Kaala encourages the people to protest against the government in order to give up the scheme. Hari Dhadha creates a curfew in Dharavi by using the help of SP Pankaj Patil (Pankaj Tripathi), who is his supporter. Along with some policemen and Hari Dhadha's right-hand man Inspector Sunil (Ravi Kale), they raid the area. Kaala fights with Hari Dhadha's henchmen and the police. Kaala's younger son Lenin (Manikandan), daughter-in-law Charumathi 'Puyal' (Anjali Patil), and brother-in-law Vaaliyappan (Samuthirakani) also fight alongside him. Pankaj gets arrested after a video taken by a reporter named Praveen (Ramesh Thilak) during the curfew provides evidence that the henchmen were brought into Dharavi to create problems with police's support.

Movie

Later, the police believes that Kaala is dead after his chawl is set ablaze. They inform the media, but the people of Dharavi deny the news of his death. Hari Dhadha again enters Dharavi at a function for constructing a new building. Here, he begins to hallucinate Kaala's appearance among the crowd and behaves erratically. He is then killed by the people of Dharavi, and the government stops the scheme. With Dharavi's success, many slums start to follow Kaala's way of protest to protect their neighborhood, irrespective of illegal occupation of lands.

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

Following the commercial success of director Pa. Ranjith's gangster romantic drama Kabali (2016) starring Rajinikanth, actor-producer Dhanush announced that he had signed the duo to work on a new film for his production house, Wunderbar Films during late August 2016.[17] Refuting reports that the film would be a sequel to Kabali, Dhanush announced that production would begin during mid-2017 following the completion of Rajinikanth's work for Shankar's science fiction film 2.0 (2018). In early May 2017, the producers received an open letter from Sundar Shekar Mishra, the foster son of gangster Haji Mastan, threatening that the makers should not depict his father in negative light and if they did, they would face consequences.[18] In reply, Ranjith denied the film was a biopic of Haji Mastan and clarified that the film was based on fictional events, while revealing that Rajinikanth would play a man from Tirunelveli who escapes to Mumbai as a child and goes on to become a powerful don living in Dharavi slums.[19] The title of the film, Kaala was announced in late May 2017, with promotional posters carrying the film's first look released in Tamil, English, Hindi and Telugu.[20][21][22][23][24]

Casting and crew[edit]

Following the announcement of the film, Wunderbar Films sought to cast Vidya Balan in a leading role, but the actress turned down the offer.[25] Actress Huma Qureshi was later added to the cast in early May 2017 to feature in a role opposite Rajinikanth.[26][27] Marathi actress Anjali Patil also announced that she would be playing an important role in the film through a post on her official Twitter account.[28] Several members of the technical crew of Kabali were retained for Kaala, with A. Sreekar Prasad replacing Praveen K. L. as the film's editor during its pre-production stage.[29] Bollywood actor Nana Patekar has been signed to play a politician who is the antagonist.[30][31][32] For the role of Kaala's wife, Kasthuri was considered before Easwari Rao was confirmed.[33][31]Dileepan of Vathikuchi fame is playing as one of the sons of Rajnikanth and Huma Qureshi is playing Zareena, Rajnikanth's ex-girlfriend.[34][35]

Filming[edit]

Shooting of this film started on 28 May 2017 at Mumbai and the lead actor Rajinikanth participated in this first schedule.[36][37][38][39][40] Due to heavy rains in Mumbai, the team had taken a break and erected a set at Chennai with Mumbai as its backdrop.

Anand Mahindra, chairman and managing director of Mahindra Group, was interested in the jeep which was used in the first look poster of this movie. He tweeted that he would love to acquire that jeep for his company's auto museum.[41]

Legal issues[edit]

K. Rajashekaran of GSR Vinmeen Creations filed a case claiming the title of this film against Pa Ranjith, Rajnikanth and Dhanush. His allegation was that he had registered the title Kaarikalan with the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce.[42][43] In response, Wunderbar Films filed a counter-affidavit saying the story was written by Pa Ranjith and the title Kaala is registered by M/s Mini Studio, a sister concern of Wunderbar Films, with Tamil Film Producers Council on 24 May 2017.[44]

Soundtrack[edit]

The soundtrack was composed by Santhosh Narayanan in his second collaboration with actor Rajinikanth and his fourth collaboration with director Pa. Ranjith. The soundtrack album consists of nine songs written by Kabilan, Umadevi, Arunraja Kamaraj, Arivu, Dopeadelicz, Logan and Roshan Jamrock, while the Telugu and Hindi version of the soundtrack consists of eight songs. The audio launch event of Kaala took place on 9 May 2018, at YMCA College of Physical Education, Chennai and the songs were simultaneously released on all streaming platforms in all three languages.

Critical reception[edit]

The Times of India rated the film 3.5 out of 5 and stated that Ranjith owes to his excellent technical crew for 'helping him visualise and deliver this 51% Rajini-49% Ranjith movie'.[45]The Indian Express rated the movie 3.5 out of 5 and said that,'Ranjith stays true to his objective. The traces of what we saw in Kabali have been fleshed out and beautifully embellished.'.[46] NDTV rated the movie 3 out of 5 stars and stated that Kaala is out and out a director's film with a strong political core. Rajinikanth, in a toned-down avatar, is a bonus.'.[47] Meanwhile, The Hindu criticized the movie for its political elements and rated the film 2 out of 5, stating 'an underwhelming film made for Rajinikanth, the politician. It’s difficult to think of Kaala as a film that was written for a star who claims to have had no political ambitions at the time. Now that he has become a politician, it’s Rajni the superstar that we long to see'.[48] The Hindustan Times gave its ratings as 4 out of 5 for the movie, stating 'Rajinikanth lends his voice to Pa Ranjith’s political viewpoint'.[49]

Plot[edit]

Jeeva (Silambarasan) shares his name with two other people: one villain (Sulile Kumar) and one police officer who becomes a villain (Lal). The confusion arising from this is a significant part of the plot.

At the age of nine, Jeeva’s grandmother Karuppayi Aatha (Seema) slays five men because they scorned her father’s advice and illegally distilled alcohol in the village. After her return from prison, the villagers both fear and revere her, and consider her the head of the village.

Police officer Jeeva (Lal) comes to the village ruled by Karuppayi Aatha to try to find illicit activity. When he cannot find anything, he is thrashed by the villagers. He returns to take vengeance, and in the course of the hostilities burns Karuppayi Aatha alive.

Jeeva the criminal is meanwhile wooing policeman Jeeva’s daughter Brindha (Vedhika). But Vedhika loves Jeeva, Karuppayi's grandson, and he wants to take revenge on his namesake for the death of his grandmother. He abducts Vedhika as a hostage to lure her father to his death.[3]

Production[edit]

Casting[edit]

In pre-production work, Tarun Gopi originally offered the lead role to Madhavan, then to Prabhas. Neither was able to take up the role, so Silambarasan was recruited instead. The original choice for the lead female role was Trisha, who was replaced by Vedhika. Prakashraj was originally selected for the role of the police officer Jeeva, but he was replaced by Lal.[4]

Filming[edit]

Most of the film was shot in the villages around Theni. Australia was originally planned to be the location for filming songs, but due to visa problems these scenes were shifted to Malaysia.[5] A fast beat song sequence was shot at the Golden Beach, Chennai with Simbu and Vedhika.[6] For much of the filming the heroine was not finalized, so large sections of the movie were shot without the female lead. The shoots appeared disorganized, with few actors recruited ahead of time.[4] Silambarasan did some editing work with Anthony, who is said to have been impressed by his work and presented him with 25,000 rands.[7]

Release[edit]

The rights for satellite broadcast were sold to Sun TV. The film was given an 'A' certificate by the Indian Censor Board.[10] The film was released at the Pongal 2008 festival at the same time as Bheema, Pidichirukku, Pirivom Santhippom, Pazhani and Vaazhthugal.

Critical reactions[edit]

Indiaglitz wrote: 'The narrative is too loud and it lacks finesse. Silambarasan handles the 'omnipotent hero' character with confidence. Vedhika announces her arrival as the potential glam girl of 2008. This one with a beautiful and innocent face has just the right figure to take up glamour roles'.[11]

Nowrunning wrote: 'Silambarasan's more than life image is unrealistic if not out of place. Vedhika exudes glamour and performs well in duet songs'.[12]

Sify wrote: 'When Silambarasan and director Tarun Gopi came together in Kaalai we expected a racy masala entertainer. Sadly it is a watered down version of earlier films and ends up as an over-the-top ham enterprise, Kaalai is like a bull in a china shop and makes you groan'.[13]
