Kathal Movie Review
As a viewer, if I can tell one thing about this film, So that it is just a one-time-watch film. After we saw the trailer, we expected that this film would be full of comedy and drama. The director tried to give us a social massage with a new style. In terms of the concept, A Jackfruit Mystery is a very recent addition to the troupe. And it can sometimes really entertain you.
The director played a mind-blowing game in this film; he just tilted the movie name ‘Kathal,” but inside the story was moving and giving us so many social messages, while attempting to draw attention to the caste system and the way the world views women. Even if she chooses to wear jeans, the patriarchy’s requirement that men always dominate women makes the journey through all of this difficult. But the director didn’t focus more on all these topics.
Kathal Star Performance
Sanya Malhotra played the lead role in this film, and she really showed her talent and the way of the police officer. Some times it gives you the feeling of the recently released Amazon Prime Dahaad, Sonakshi Sinha’s as a police officer. While Sanya Malhotra is doing her job, on the other hand, she also loves her junior constable in his department, but there are so many complexities, and Malhotra carries them well.
Rajpal Yadav played the role of a TV reporter who wanted to always have trending news and make himself a most popular journalist. He also gave his best performance, but in this film, he can’t more entertain the audience with his dialogue and acting; sometimes you will feel that he is doing forced comedy. Vijay Raaz played a local MLA role, and the film shows Story moving around his missing two jackfruits from his garden. He also performed very well. On the other hand, he also handles his family members.
Verdict
Regarding Kathal, the last word is that this film is okay to watch once. Because the concept is really unique and fresh about missing jackfruits, the film turned into other relevant topics like crime and thriller.
