There are so many mundane elements that has been interwoven to script a watertight narration - like Anjali’s driving lessons, influence of Siddarth’s father, the lorry named Chakkara, their downstairs neighbor, feminine jealousy when Siddarth is gifted the perfume, - all these little elements add to the movie. How Siddarth finds redemption from his excessive rage is dealt with in the movie. As the movie progresses, the narrative takes on a thriller mode as the car journey becomes a nightmare for the couple. There is another flashback in the movie and this happens towards the end. Siddarth’s childhood, his adolescence, college life, marriage with Anjali and the events leading up to that fateful night is narrated in the span of the first half. This refreshing quality is there throughout the narrative and this dismantling of clichés naturally makes ‘Kali’ a class movie.Ī frustrated and angry Siddarth (Dulquer) does come after her in his car and the long car journey becomes a perfect platform for the flashback that place the two lead characters in the story. Just as we think things will take a clichéd turn with the sinister looking man gazing at her by the secluded wayside, the narrative takes a refreshing turn with the two of them jumping in fright as they come parallel. The story begins with an emotionally distraught Anjali (Sai Pallavi) moving out carrying her bags, in the dead of the night. This prelude itself places the movie on track and moves the story forward in the second half. The movie begins with a prelude that takes place in a small wayside eatery in some faraway outskirts. ‘Kali’ actually deals with a few hours in the wee hours of the night, in the life of a couple. Dulquer and Sai Pallavi fill up the screen with their perfect acting and deserve a standing ovation. Director Sameer Tahhir and scriptwriter Rajesh Gopinadhan has nailed it right. Such narratives are uncommon in Malayalam cinema and that experimental streak in ‘Kali’ is something to be lauded.

‘Kali’ is not a fluffy romance or the usual run of the mill story. The narrative flow is very natural and one that engrosses the viewers. Told in a unique manner, ‘Kali’ has a tight narration and never deviates from its intended theme. An urbane relationship drama dealing with intense focus on the single theme of rage - is in essence what ‘Kali’ is.
