(A)KAAL

Kaal is no Dhamaal, but Jee Ka Janjaal. A big let down, a huge waste of money, not worthy all the hype. Tigers have nothing to do with it, and that's where they have created the hype.

Dramatic elements have been forcibly added in an effort to create terror, but there is none. Deepak was bang on target when he said, everything looks so artificial in the trailer. In his words, it indeed is a storm in the tea cup.

The script has loops & loops of loopholes. I wondered, is that what they had been harping about endlessly on television for past one week? People disappear for no reason, only to reappear. People are killed somewhere else, and dead body ends up miles away. Dead men walking or what ?

So much about the script.

The icing on the cake was the climax. Extremely disappointing and hurried ending. No worhty performance, not even Devgan. In fact, Vivek and Lara have an irritating characterisation. They both are unconvincing of what they speak. It never seems to be coming from their heart.

Thanks heavens the whole experience was just a two hour stretch. Avoid it if you must.
