When it comes to Kabali, more than his mass mannerisms, it is the sentimental scenes of him that will be the talking point. Rajini has quite a few sentimental scenes which have come out well. It is easily Rajinikanth’s show and the style samrat delivers it all with vigor. Ranjith has played very well with such emotions. He is strong and normal with friends and family but could be feeble when he is betrayed or when he lets emotions rule over him. Likewise, Kabali's graph has a lot of ups and downs. His thought process, how he handles betrayal, tackles his enemies are all showcased neatly. Apart from the fancy costumes, guns and other style elements you find in gangster films, this film shows an emotional side of a gangster. All the characters have been established having Rajinikanth alongside them. There are hardly any scenes that pass which do not involve Rajinikanth in it but Ranjith has made sure that he has put all his acting resources to good effect. Ranjith has used Rajini’s swagger to his advantage, albeit at a different pace.

This happens with a lot of measured calculation, slowly building the tempo and reaching the crescendo powerfully, making Rajini fans come to their seat's end with a thumping heartbeat which becomes a collective loud one eventually. The director gets into action without wasting any time starting with a small build-up scene for the lead and the very next frame he takes you to the highly anticipated hero intro scene. What life has in store for him after this, is the turf in which Ranjith has played his shots, the scene of action being predominantly Malaysia. Kabali is about an aged, reformed gangster Kabaleeswaran who had fought for the oppressed in Malaysia and returns from his jail stay after twenty-five years. And hence what is it going to offer to the viewer, is the standard thought in many minds.

The regular movie-goers would have seen Rajinikanth in different kinds of films, but what is special about Kabali is his collaboration with a two-film-old young director Ranjith which has played a big part in the curiosity levels of the audience.

The film that was anticipated with bated breath by millions of fans and movie buffs all around the world is finally out.
