"Kali" is a movie that revolves around a short-tempered guy, Siddharth (played by Dulquer Salmaan), who often lands in quarrels with his wife, Anjali (played by Sai Pallavi), because of his temper issues. This moving picture, directed by Sameer Thahir, is a great mixture of all the feelings ranging from anger and frustration to love and trust. The music and background score is all praiseworthy and is sure to leave you humming the songs even after the film is over.
Sid and Anjali are a middle-class couple living in Kochi. Sid is a bank employee where he often feels annoyed by his colleagues and customers. He gets extremely angry in just a jiffy and often reacts harshly because of which, his anger always gets the best of him. His wife tries several ways to get rid of Sid's temper. All was well until Sid accidentally slaps one of his colleagues in public at an office party. Just as they reach home after this incident, Sid shouts at Anjali's father, mistaking him for a random person on the phone. This makes Anjali leave the house mentioning that she can't deal with such a person for the rest of her life. After this, Sid offers to drop Anjali at her parents' place. In the way, they get in a feud with a gangster and this is their major drawback from reaching their destination.
Dulquer Salmaan, well known as DQ by his fans, plays an amazing avatar of a short-tempered husband who loves his wife dearly. The way he fulfils the character of Sid is laudable. Every time he reacts to a situation, he will make you compliment him in tons. Sai Pallavi, too, has played a commendable role. The way she fits herself in this role is sure to win a place in your heart. She never fails to impress her audience with her fabulous acting skills. She plays the role of a sweet and supporting wife who is always with her husband through all dilemmas.
This film is not only praiseworthy because of the marvellous actors, but also because of the plot and storyline which makes it outstand its rival films. The script and storyline are believable and not an over-exaggeration of the action scenes. The best part is that it is not another one of those murder or kidnapping tales that have the same plot every time. This proves that the makers got creative and displayed their best possible work on the silver screen. The actors were the cherry on top after delivering jaw-dropping performances. I would highly recommend this film to all the binge-watchers out there who love to explore the cinematic world. This film deserves all the praise in the world. It is sure to keep your eyes glued to the screens thoroughly.
