Even the climax was a bit rush and completely out of the context. Apart from Rajini's characterization, we don't have much excitement in Kabali because it feels less engaging and even less impactful. It takes so much time to establish the platform and the characters. Pa.Ranjith's Kabali feels a bit refreshing but still has a lot of flaws that could have been avoided for the betterment of this gangster drama. Santhosh Narayanan's album and background score are the right elements to make the film connect with the audience. We have Radhika Apte, Dhanshika, Kishore, and Winston Chao who played their characters convincingly. Especially, after Rajini, we have so many actors to remember in Kabali. Ranjith has made a film that dives into the underworld which is very well explored in this gangster drama. I personally really enjoyed the scenes where we get to see him emote deeply for his loved ones. Well, it's fresh to see that Rajini has stepped out of his comfort zone to fit into a much performance-oriented role. The film goes deep into the character exploring the emotional side of a stylish gangster. Unlike the mass feel that the teaser created, the film is a complete drama that revolves around Kabali, a Malaysian Tamil gangster who is in search of his lost family. He even looks stylish with that grey beard which remembers me of the famous Neelambari's dialogue in Padayappa.
Pa.Ranjith has utilized Rajini's acting ability and made him perform a role of his age. There are still fan moments in the film but it's much more a drama than a mass entertainer. After Thalapathi, he has much scope to perform rather than smashing the bad guys and attract the audience with his stylish walk and mannerisms. Well, I feel that Kabali is the right film for Rajini the actor.
Rajini is always seen as a larger-than-life superstar on-screen but in Pa.Ranjith's Kabali, he seems to have turned into a complete actor.
