Kaalakaandi

...if you like your cinema experimental and edgy, give this one a try.

It remains a lot like Delhi Belly instead, the (Akshat Verma) writer of which makes his directorial debut here. He's on the ball for sure. Is it as good as Delhi Belly? As a script? Possibly. As a film, I felt it lacks rhythm, with too much being force-fed to suit the timeline of one never-ending night in Bombay, even if that's the genre. The end might make you go, "Eh?" But through it all, you're more likely to go, "Hah!" So nah, I'm not complaining at all.

Kaalakaandi doesn't always provide it, but there's enough intrigue to play along.

Even as you continue to watch the film patiently, beyond a point, it's nothing to write home about. You eventually sum up your thoughts on the film by borrowing the film's expletive-laden dialogue —, 'experimental ke naam pe chu*****'?

The direction of photography by Himman Dhamija saves the film as some wonderfully shot scenes are the bearable visuals that you can definitely admire. What's wrong with this soaring black comedy is that it fails to convince some real-life karmic lessons through a night that turned everyone's life topsy-turvy.

Saif Ali Khan outshines a sloppy script...The Saif ALi Khan-starrer is a thriller at best and an attempted comedy at worst.

Kaalakaandi is just about Saif Ali Khan's and his amazing performance as a recently turned stoner. Akshat impresses with his wild imagination but unfortunately when a film is bad not the biggest of the superstars can save it.

'Kaalakaandi' tries a fresh approach – it's for a niche audience with some edgy scenes and bawdy dialogues – but I am not sure if this is everyone's cup of tea. Watch it if you must. Saif – in top form here – will keep you entertained, even if the film fails to.

KAALAKAANDI has a promising first half but goes completely downhill. At the box office, it has slim chances of becoming commercially successful.

It is hard to believe that a film directed by the writer of Delhi Belly is, for the most part, a drag. Despite Saif Ali Khan being in cracking form, Kaalakaandi lacks fizz and purpose.

The Film Has Less Than 10 Percent of the Hilarious Quotient of the Writer's Past Work.

If you think a story like Delhi Belly could be replicated or something 'as cool' could be made, Kaalakaandi will disappoint you. Three random stories in one night in one terribly pretentious film that tries too hard. Fails.

Watch it if you possess a keen eye to find art in the places where others can't. If you are a regular movie-goer who just wants to be entertained, sit this one out.

'Kaalakaandi' is an inconsistent but madcap film, with a couple of terrific performances
