CAST - Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Oberoi, Deepak Dobriyal, Kunaal Roy Kapur, Nary Singh, Isha Talwar, Shenaz Treasurywala, Vijay Raaz, Amyra Dastur

DIRECTOR – Akshat Verma

RATING – 2.5/ 5
There are multiple tales in the film which only connects to the climax. Kaalakandi is primarily in English with only two characters (Deepak Dobriyal and Vijay Raaz) as a sidekick of underworld bhai conversing in Hindi and abusing.

Kaalakandi is funny and provides entertainment throughout. The performances of all the characters are in right zone. The best part is its editing. It is only 112 minutes long with music complimenting the scenes. The problem is the glorification of drugs. The script of Kaalakandi is like Udta Punjab script on drugs. Watch this offbeat Bollywood movie if you are fond of Saif’s comic timing.
