Emotional Gangsta Drama
Ranjith must have envisioned an ultra-stylish gangster movie set in Malaysia. Ranjith sticks to the core script from start to finish without making compromises pandering to the masses. It is good that the story doesn't deviate from the main thread.It is also bad because the scenes become single dime...(more)

Kabali is more of a Ranjith film than Rajini's.
Usually, when a new director works with a big star like Rajinikanth, they tend to adjust the flow of the film for the hero's stardom but Ranjith has extracted what he wanted for his script without compromising much.(more)

Rajini carries film on his shoulders
Rajinikanth puts up a performance like never before. He looks dapper in a well fitted suits in pastel shades and his styling is top class - A big thumbs up to designer Anu Vardhan. The actor even at this age carries the film on his shoulder. It is the strong screen presence and sheer aura of the man...(more)

Rajinikanth sheds heroism in this painfully slow emotional drama
But where the plot stutters the subtle mannerisms become the strength of the film � deft hand movements, a sarcastic smile on the corner of the lip and close-ups of Rajinikanth where the raw actor in him comes out, reminiscent of his past character roles. And that is why Kabali will be talked about,...(more)

Kabali is definitely not your regular Rajini film
There are lengthy conversations between the actors and emotions seem to play a bigger role in this gangster movie. The spotlight is almost entirely on the love story, and neither the workers nor the gang wars or its leaders are given any importance. (more)

Expectations from a Rajinikanth film is always Sky High, anything less than that, the fans get disheartened. Kabali is a love emotional drama. Rajinikanth proves to be a fantabulous actor in the film and has worked on his expressions in every single frame. Radhika Apte has shouldered Rajinikanth in ... (more)

Thanks to Ranjith to explore the actor in Rajinikanth. Being a die hard Tamil cinema fan was little worried that after Rajinikanth gets a PAN Indian actor status his movies like Sivaji, Endhiran and his previous Lingaa were all commercial/masala & that might give a bad image thatTamil industry stick...
