Well! This is not your usual IMDb comment on this master-piece(of sh!t). This comment is here strictly for philanthropic purposes. You should read this comment AFTER you have seen Kaal.
OKay. You must be thinking that you have seen the worst movie since the big bang ( or the ice-age, if , by nature, you are kind and forgiving ). Well.. I am here to give you a new interpretation to the movie and make you feel a li'l less cheated. Firstly, don't think that this movie belongs to the horror genre. Secondly you should not think that that Kaali was a killer was meant to be a surprise. Thirdly and most importantly, you should not even think that he is a bhoot. Kaali is not a bhoot. He is just a madman who talks about himself in the third person. And he thinks he died. When Villagers beat him black and blue, they did not kill him. He survived. But he lost his senses and started believing that he died. And all the deaths we see in the movie are those that are accidents or murders. The surviving characters think of him as a bhoot. They do that based on some silly evidence. They cant find his image - either in the well or in the video camera. Well, vivek oberai could not see the image in the well because the angle was not correct. And of course Kaali could not be seen in the camera - That was expected. After all, the conditions under which the camera was used were not exactly conducive for perfect composition of film.
Thus, You should look at Kaali as a madman who is mistaken to be bhoot by the rest of the characters. If you have seen Citizen Kane, you would see some parallels here with the "rosebud". If you can see this way, you will understand that Kaal is not the poor man's "Urban Legend" as it is made out to be, but it is an amateur director's attempt at Citizen Kane. Now some advice: Next time you think of going to a movie in which a male actor is doing an 'item number', think again. May be it'd be more enjoyable to get struck in a traffic jam on a hot summer afternoon in an Indian City.
