Kaal - an unforgettable debut masterpiece

This ghoststory takes us deep into the Indian jungle where a series of strange murders keep the police busy. A couple of scientists want to find out more about the death of a few tourists and doubts that "maneating tigers", as the newspapers call, are the cause. At the same time four friends come to the Orbit National park to see and maybe hunt big cats. It turns out that the jungle hides a bigger problem than just hungry tigers.

This debut movie of a very young indian director called Soham comes with a Bollywood dreamcast (Ajay Devgan, Vivek Oberoi, John Abraham, Vishal Malhotra, Kushal Paunjabi, ect.) and if you expect singing romantics you gotta search for the soundtrack at the DVD movie (but not even that one is cheesy or whatever).

This story is nothing like usual old Bollywood and it will definitly send a few shivers down your spine. But actually the best thing in it (besides Kushaal Paunjabi who I personally love) is the great athmosphere in which it was shot. You feel the fear, hear the jungle and from time to time you got the feeling the tigers would stalk you into your living room and breathe at your neck

A masterpiece in movie history - beating every single Hollywood production I ever saw in that genre!
