Kaala

For the Voter inside the fan

Sorry guys, the subtext in Kaala, is so distracting, unfortunately it has not been made for the fans. Well that makes hardcore Rajinikanth fans like me being taken for granted and treated like a piece of shit. I am going to make no effort to be either diplomatic or not angry.

There is no point talking about a muddled and cluttered narrative that showcases Pa. Ranjith's shallow and juvenile political ideology( Alas! What a fall for the director who made, 'Attakathi', a work of great artistic merit about a Nobody. I really hope he is able to reinvent himself again)

I always thought, Rajinikanth was always smart enough not to get into politics but this time around, looks like he may after all take the  plunge. He seems to be  the financial sponsor of this effort.

Rajini wants us to believe, that  he is leader of the lowly, the under privileged, the distressed, the deprived, the disadvantaged, the needful, the destitute, the poverty stricken, the penurious, the indigent, oppressed, and will be their savior, protector and vows to be omniscient, omnipresent and ubiquitous.

Since he has decided to become God himself, he has decided to do away with the Hindu Gods as well.

Shamelessly ripping away from 'God Father', the annihilation of the foes in the background of the baptism, has been replaced by an annihilation of adversaries with a demoniac interpretation of Ramayana in the background.

He vows to be BJP's nemesis.

There are no veiled references here.

Pretty explicit references to Swach Bharath, Digital India and a Gujarathi Antagonist, a clear metaphor for Mr. Narendra Modi. (I would have been let down even further if the antagonist was named Shiv, luckily he is named Hari). 

And the movie gets released without a single cut.

There is a great urge to distance himself from BJP, despite being conferred Padma Bhushan by the BJP govenment recently, a title that he flaunts in the credits.

Strange bedfellows indeed!!!.

Mr. Rajinikanth, All you had to do was make an Annamalai or Thambikku Entha Ooru or Thillu Mullu. We would have just come in droves and  even be foolish enough to vote for you.
