What can you do but laugh at a bunch of visitors who go around a spooky, scary forest populated by man-eating tigers and a suspected ghost, doing ridiculously stupid things. It may be okay to borrow the storyline from a movie but borrowing a storyline from just a movie title is a little too much. But, "Kaal" is a `whodunnit' that has tigers (instead of lions) and a ghost on the list of prime suspects. Talk about "The Ghost and the Darkness" taken, literally, for a storyline of kaal.
Here is how watching "Kaal" can be made interesting. Prepare a list of thriller/horror flicks "Sixth Sense ,The Ring," "The Village, "Scream," "I Know What You Did Last Summer or even "Bhooth," "Vaastu Shaastra" or any film from the Ramsay Brothers. And after every scene, knock out the name of the movie that reminds one of the sequence in "Kaal after all what does a heavily inspired product look like it looks like kaal which makes even the horror spoof, "Scary Movie" look sober.
There is John Abraham who wears a `What am I doing in this movie' look throughout
vivek oberoi sucks big time
as for the actresses esha deol the less said the better lara dutta was there only to scream
and ajay devgan does a good job
well even music could not save this movie as the two songs one kaal dhamaal which was in the beginning and tauba tauba was after the movie ends
