Kaalakaandi (2018)

What a waste of my time!!!

Best movie ever!

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

A movie so bad that you will question yourself before watching next saif's movie. reviewing it cos of all the fake reviews that has been posted on it. Not a single moment of anticipation, even the role of deepak dobriyal and vijay raj has been ruined by the awful storyline that was neither engaging nor funny. It was like the director had an imagination of what drugs felt like when he was in 6th grade. spare yourself an hour of forwarding this crap

This one is all Kaala and no Kaandi! A person who is on psychotropic drugs has the potential to create a captivating plot. But this one gets too predictable and stretched out. I am sure many of you have done crazier stuff than the one Saif indulges in the movie.A tepid movie - would rather indulge in something else to get a high!

Akshat Verma who wrote the Delhi Belly has now directed Kaalakaandi which in my opinion is one of the fresh and highly entertaining film you would get from Bollywood. While the industry has been quite busy in giving us some stupid love stories for years, Kaalakaandi is a breath of fresh air whose plot unfolds in the Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction type where three different stories start and then intersect each other later in the film. Saif is in his best form here and gives one of his crazy and best performance till date. This is a film which Bollywood rarely makes and that is why I would recommend watching this one in the theatres. Please support this film and don't torrent it.

Delhi Belly created a benchmark in Indian cinema under the black comedy category. It was funny, humorous, and dark which made the film entertaining. Despite the fact that Kaalakaandi didn't create so much hype for the audience and just found out about the film at the last minute, I decided to go and watch it after seeing the trailer.So a banker named Rauleen, who has the decency of any other human being by the fact that he doesn't drink, smoke, do drugs, or even eat butter has been diagnosed with stomach cancer and only has 3 months to live. So with these 3 months, he decides to change himself by drinking and doing drugs and going full on himself. Then there are few more parallel stories such as 2 gangsters that are hungry for money from their boss to a couple that go through certain situations. How these stories collide is basically what this film is about?Let me start off by saying this, I thought that this could just be a timepass but quite to my surprise, I quite enjoyed this film. Akshat Verma who also wrote Delhi Belly managed to implement this with good ease. The jokes in the movie were so funny and realistic that the factors were there necessary to fulfill a good entertaining watch. The writing was good and the dialgues were simplistically consistent throughout the filmThe acting in the movie was simply spot on. Saif Ali Khan gives a remarkable performance as Rauleen and the dialogues helmed by him just chuckled the living shit out of me. Vijay Raaz's take on giving foul words doesn't disappoint and he was also the hilarious factor in the film. Deepak Dobriyal was also amazing in his part and I really do fanboy him as an actor. Shenaz Treasury plays a hoity toity character and she was doggone good in the film. Kunaal Roy Kapur was just there because when I saw him Delhi Belly, he was cracked up well but in this film, he doesn't become the victim in any situation.The music is average and the tracks doesn't have anything melodious to offer.The pacing trips after quite some time because you will get the feeling that the film is doing well in soem point of time but later something interferes with that moment and yeah some scenes were direct ripoffs of Delhi Belly.The direction was okay because the angles weren't shot properly and dutch angles were just unnecessaryOverall, I enjoyed watching a black comedy fater so many ages. It's dark, crude, hilarious, and peculiar. Definitely check this out in a theater near you.3/5 - Bollywood is starting with something good.
