S Mahendar makes a comeback as a director with his venture ' Mahakaali Mahakaali is a Kannada TV serial which aired on Co >> Read More... ' starring Malashree, Saurav, Lokesh in lead roles.

Plot

The story is about a woman Mahakaali (Malashree) who is a volunteer at the Karnataka Mahila Rakshana Vedike, which works for the welfare of women and fight against the injustice done to them. But soon Mahakaali realizes that she won't be able to help women by just being a member of this organization and then she prepares herself to fight for women’s equality. She just can't bear any injustice done by men to any women, and wherever she sees any such discrimination, she is there to fight against it. This mission of women empowerment of hers’ and a side by side building love story forms the rest of the plot. The film has a happy ending, where Mahakaali kills the villain.

Analysis

A few years ago S Mahendar was known for his tragic love stories, but he chose an action movie to make a comeback. But, he fails to make an impact with 'Mahakaali'. The film is made to spread a strong message of women empowerment, but there are many loopholes in the script which contradicts its message. This flick lacks a strong script and story lacks freshness due to its predictable plot. Background score is below par, and an addition of an item number doesn't make any sense. Cinematography and editing are big time disasters. The casting of the film is average as some actors excel while few don't even fit in their roles.

Star Performances

Malashree is the hero here. She has portrayed the character of Mahakaali brilliantly. She has worked hard for the action sequences and made an impact on the audience. Mico Nagaraj Mico Nagraj is a talented, hard-working, vibrant I >> Read More... plays a negative role and perfectly fits in it. Raju Talikote Raju Talikote is an Indian-Actor. His real name is >> Read More... has a comic role, but his double meaning jokes may not make everyone laugh. Naresh Gawda plays a corrupt officer. The biggest setback is the lack of a convincing script. If you have watched Malashree's previous films, then you won't find anything fresh and special in this.

What's there????

1. Malashree's brilliant performance makes it a good watch.

2. Action scenes in the film are convincing.

3. There are few funny gags that will surely make us laugh.

4. Women-centric flicks are rare in Kannada industry. So, this makes this flick special.

What's not there????

1. A predictable and stale storyline.

2. Music of the movie is not convincing, and you may find few unwanted songs.

3. Technical department such as editing, cinematography also fails miserably.

4. S Mahendar's direction doesn't suit an action-thriller.

Verdict

'Mahakaali' could be only watched if you want to see Malashree's action scenes. Else you can easily miss this one and invest your time and money on something worthwhile.
