    Kaala deserves much appreciation!!

    A well made series that chronologically goes back & forth from 1980s to 2018. The best hero of this series are the performances, not a single actor have under delivered their role.

    A movie style series that uncovers true colors of each character slowly.

    Starting with leads - Avinash Tiwari who has played IB officer flawlessly, sometimes over the board but overall well acted.

    But the finest came from Jitin Gulati, and his shades of character. A slow transformation that goes from various turfs.

    All others have played their characters really well.

    Background score, casting and production values are top notch.

    Some flaws though - bit draggy in parts, unnecessary characters exposure and too much of timelines shift that may make few watchers impatient .

    Overall, a very solid drama about money laundering that should have more takers.

    Another squandered opportunity by Bejoy

    Ok let's understand why the same directors keep getting multiple opportunities even after they have shown so much times in the past they have no idea how to tell a story?!

    Yes you want to keep churning out cheap pointless content as an ott just to show something new is available on your platform but please maintain some standards.

    Either be Netflix or Apple tv but hotstar India content is questionable and seems lost. They keep releasing the same looking shows of applause and the others are also remakes.

    My conclusion is - don't even watch this show if you have an existing hotstar paid account.

    Kaala..the dark

    Sameer lodaya

    The series is made in a good dark fusion of crime

    Bejoy casted avinash ,saurabh ,jitin which were seen in last release series called bambai you can feel the vast difference as what director can actually do..all this actors have played very well in this series rather than the last one specially avinash and jitin ..the content is about money laundering for cross border activities which is investigated by a special force all this is displayed very well and goes in a good pace with great bgm .. The series is brilliantly made in dark presentation

    The series lacks in some episodes as it is dragged by giving details about characters and their past also the climax was not up to the standard what the series has managed to do so

    It's a good watch if you like dark concepts.

    Predictable around story

    Story and direction along with screenplay are awesome. Some parts are predictable and storyline could have been faster. It could have been wrapped in 5 episodes instead of 8 with 5 main protagonists headlining each episode. This is tightly woven around main character so the direction has been marvellous in that sense. Cinematography suits the flow and build up. Well written, minimal dialogues are not heavy and absorbing around the storyline itself.

    Good gripping story

    Good story With top notch acting of some actor not only raw investigative narrations some emotional filling between character , chase scene I liked it. Again Avinash tiwary nailed fan from Niraj Pandey khakee, bulbul he deserve much more , same week two totally different character , Dawood to deshbhakt IB Officer, watching kolkata real street is pleasure., some scene are unwanted. But at least u can forward in home , must watch , applaud to director , team , producer., some funny scenes is also there in sarcastic way , by some side actors , so many known faces from Tv industry , good platform for them as , web series 👍
