Kaalakaandi Review –
Kaalakaandi is a black comedy film which is directed and also written by Akshat Verma. The film starts with Saif Ali Khan and Sobhita Dhulipala and has been produced by Ashi Dua and Rohit Khattar. Kaalakaandi has hit the theatres today, 12th January 2018. Kaalakaandi review, the film is loosely translated into a situation which gone wrong, as the movie is touted to be a dark comedy.
The director of Kaalakaandi, Akshat Verma has debuted as a solo filmmaker but he is associated with the film Delly Belly as a writer. So he is not totally new to this industry. The film appears to take a similar flighty way to Delly Belly as far as storytelling and dialogues.
Aside from entertaining punchlines in the trailer, the film likewise gloats of a trustworthy cast including the likes of Akshay Oberoi, Deepak Dobriyal, Vijay Raaz and Kunal Roy Kapur.
Kaalakaandi is set in Mumbai and concentrated principally on more developed characters. So its tone, treatment, and texture are uniquely extraordinary. The film is essentially in English, with just two black market subordinates chatting in road level Hindi peppered generously with interjections. Plainly Verma is entranced by dissidents and loners. In any case, outfitted with the nature of his written work, he turns the freaky, freewheeling, fizzy Kaalakaandi into a human show that investigates life’s amazement, adores, mortality, insatiability and selling out.
Not every last bit of it includes as conveniently as one would have loved, yet it works. Mischievous mind and shocking diversion raised with a feeling of humankind characterize this dim satire’s (dark comedy) more apt minutes. The characters are peculiar yet genuine, similar to the ethically at odds young lady shaken by an attempt at manslaughter case that she is engaged with or a young fellow pounced upon by strings of blame at having undermined his eventual spouse.
Some tweets of Kriti Tulsiani —
And if you like Saif Ali Khan at his eccentric best and are in for a slightly psychedelic “chill” watch, you might want to go for #Kaalakaandi. But don’t expect too much of it and be prepared for an unrealistic touch towards the end.

While there’s a flavour of Delhi Belly, #Kaalakaandi doesn’t somehow deliver as powerful a film that was expected. Rich in moments but somehow it misses out on coherence.

Saif Ali Khan is in great form and while all other actors deliver a commendable performance, it’s Saif’s moments with transgender sex worker Sheela that’ll sort of stay with you. #Kaalakaandi
