Dorathen Better Late Then Never

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

adityamishra-75415 Huh!!This is not a movie, its serial episode. No story line, nothing... Who the hell is this director and a real shame to malayalam movies... avoid such movies... I feel wasted 2 hrs of my life for such a nonsense movie... story starts with fight of husband and wife and ends there, no thrilling scenes, no mystery.

alvinjai The movie starts with an argument followed immediately by the cause of it up until the interval. The movie revolves around Siddharth, a short-tempered fellow, and his calm and loving wife, Anjali, who has to stand his every tantrum. The movie, shortly after the beginning sequence, shows Siddharth as a feisty child, transitioning into a violent teenager and finally into an adult who at least tries to control his temper. Just before the interval, Siddharth has the worst day ever as he embarrasses his wife and himself as he abuses a co-worker at a party and accidentally abuses him father-in-law when he gets home. Just before the interval, Siddharth gets into a bit of a joust in his car with a truck driver as the driver does an illegal overtake endangering Siddharth and Anjali. This is a rapid change in pace from the earlier part of the movie which only contained instances of Siddharth's outrage and not such full-flung anger. After the interval, the movie speeds up even more as they go to a roadside restaurant run by goons. Siddharth gets into more trouble due to him lacking patience and something about not being able to pay for a unsatisfactory meal. This is followed by a another vehicle jousting sequence and a fight scene involving Siddharth. The movie ends on a high as goons gets what's coming to them and Siddharth promising to try harder to be more patient and calm but not before long, he gets into another fight but this time for justifiable reasons. Before watching the movie, I read in some reviews that Sai's acting in the movie is beyond poor and I can see why they wrote this. Her facial expressions are authentic enough but her dialogue presentation is unconvincing and emotionless. Her accent is also a bit heavy which makes me wonder if her character, Anjali, had a Tamil background to cover up her accent. Dulquer displayed a very realistic and fantastic performance. The movie as a whole is well directed with minor pace issues. The script is interesting but the music is forgettable. Overall, worth a watch for the interesting story and Dulquer's performance.

tevinjosephko Kali is a thriller which makes you tensed, excited and emotional. The film is a story of an angry young man Siddarth(Dulquer Salman) and his wife, Anjali(Sai Pallavi). The first half shows how loose tempered is Siddarth. He goes insane for smallest of things. Overall, it is decently paced with some comedies and romance of Siddarth and Anjali.The chemistry of Salman and Pallavi were awesome. They were not acting instead, they lived. The audience were in loud cheers when Soubin shows up. He made an instant impact with the first dialogue itself. The caliber of PT mash of Premam is second to none. The film goes to another level from the interval scene. It changes from an entertainer to thriller genre. I can't even explain what was going through my mind but what I can say is, I was a lot tensed and excited to know what to follow.Each and every scene of the second half will make you thrilled. Chemban Vinod and Vinayakan once again show that Malayalam film industry is in safe hands. Kudos to Sai Pallavi. She showed that she is not a one time wonder. She acted superbly, sorry she lived. Her performance will make you emotional for sure.May I know is there anyone who still says Dulquer stays in the industry just because he is the son of the great Mammoty? He improves with each and every film. He delivered a matured and lively performance. I can't say this is his career best but it's right up there as one of the best.The only negative I felt was climax could have been made a little better. Overall, it is a must watch movie for all.Rating:4/5Box office: Superhit/MegahitNB: For me, I enjoyed the film better than 'Maheshinte Prathikaram' and 'Action Hero Biju'.

Nigel Joy I had not seen the trailer of this movie, and since I was spoiled by disappointing masala movies of similar style of names, I thought this movie was going to be some kind of masala action movie with no real story. But with in few minutes into this movie, I knew I was totally wrong about my prejudice and I was happy about it.The story revolves around an incident that happened to the young married couple while on their trip after a huge fight between them. Dulquer plays the role of Sidharth who is really short tempered and has anger management issues. His wife, Anjali, played by Sai Pallavi, tries her best to help him manage his anger. They live pretty good loving life except the occasional little fights between them caused mostly because of Sid's short-temperness. Anyway, one day Sidharth's anger got out of his hand and one thing lead to another, which ended up having Anjali leave to her parents home. I hate to spoil rest of the movie here but I can guarantee it is one of the best and longest most intense sequence in malayalam movie ever. Many elements of the movie can be related to almost all households. One scene that comes to my mind is when Sidharth asks Anjali drive the car and how her poor driving causes anger. So relatable to me. All casts and crew of this movie did an excellent job making this movie. Chemban Vinod & Vinayakan deserves mention for their villain characters. Soubin Shahir's character was not only pivotal but also added some humor in the movie. Special appreciation to Rajesh Gopinadhan & Sameer Thahir for the prefect ending of the movie.I guess the moral of the story would be:1) Being able to control anger is necessary skill. 2) Driving is an important skill to have in today's world regardless of gender.
