Wiki.
Kaala (transl. Black) is a 2018 Indian Tamil-language action drama film directed by Pa. Ranjith and produced by Dhanush under his production house Wunderbar Films. The film stars Rajinikanth in the title role alongside Nana Patekar, Samuthirakani, Eswari Rao, and Huma Qureshi in supporting roles.
The film was announced in 2016 and was earlier scheduled to be released on 27 April 2018 but was postponed to June due to the standoff between Nadigar Sangam and Digital Service Providers on the increase of Virtual Print Fee charges along with the 2018 Tamil Nadu protests for Kaveri water sharing issue which also led to the delay in release of other Tamil films. Kaala premiered in Malaysia on 6 June 2018, followed by a release in 1,800 theatres in India on 7 June 2018 during the week of Eid-ul Fitr. Kaala is the first Indian film ever to be released in Saudi Arabia, following the country lifting its ban on public theatres in December 2017.Kaala received mixed reviews from critics who praised the cast performances, action sequences and soundtrack, but criticised its screenwriting and pace. The film grossed ₹160 crore against a budget of ₹140 crore and was moderately successful at the box office.
