Review by arungeorge13

The satire in Kathal isn't as biting as it should've been but it's at least making a few strides in the right direction. Everyone except for Sanya's character acts clownish (including the baddies) and that makes the stakes very low. Sanya, however, is a force to reckon with. She not only manages to light up the screen with her presence, but also goes on to show that she can handle mass moments (even if they're low-key) quite well.

The laughs aren't very evenly spread, and most of it comes during the final act which was like watching the climax of a Priyadarshan film - just total chaos, in a fun way. There is also a deliberate attempt to make the interior shots very vibrant and colourful, and the wannabe Wes Anderson vibes are hard to ignore. On the whole, it's still a pretty decent venture on Netflix's part. No complaints.
