Kaalo, The daylight horror & also the first creature horror of bollywood history. Here, I want to appreciate the concept of day light horror & creature horror, because its not easy to make day horror, not easy to scare the audience in day horror & its also the first creature horror of Indian history. Before watching it there is one question in my mind, will it be appreciated by audience? will these concept works? but, I got all my answers after watch it, I am not saying it will be big hit on Indian box office, but I will say it will not let down your expectations which you want from horror. Kaalo is well made horror but, problem is its not too horrifying or nail biting, even we cant afraid while watching creature (ghost) of movie. Visual effects are superb. even day horror wilson louis has done fare job to his work. he has done all efforts to prove himself and I can say he did it. Aditya shrivastav has done good job, child girl has done fair job, creature (kaalo) not so much horrifying. Overall, Kaalo is for those audience who likes to watch horror genre.

It's a shame that Movie Like Kaalo has a Limited theatrical release to the city Like Kolkata.I have been eagerly waiting to see this Horror flick ever since I came to Know its belonging to a Horror Genre as I've been a Huge Horror freak but when I came to Know about the show timings and Theaters I am totally Disappointed.This is really shame for Bollywood and also for the city Like Kolkata.Its also a shame that audience gives more priority to the overrated Movies Like Tees Maar Khan despite Knowing that its gonna be Terrible. How in the world could you make a limited release to a movie like Kaalo which has received many Awards in South Africa. They never release Underrated Movies to the theaters specially Horror Movies.They don't even Know that Horror Genre has been the Most selling of all.Its Inevitable for me that I cannot watch Kaalo because of its limited theatrical release here But Guys You don't Miss this flick at any cost no matter wherever you are.Movie Like Kaalo deserves to be watched More than Once.Hats off to Wilson Louis for exploring Horror Genre in Bollywood.Keep them coming.EAST OR WEST HORROR GENRE IS THE BEST.NO OTHER GENRE WILL ENTERTAIN YOU AS MUCH AS WHAT HORROR GENRE DOES IN THEATRE.

Was just wondering the other day, why do [most] Hindi films that tackle the horror genre don't really succeed in their endeavour of scaring the viewer? I mean, real stories concerning supernatural forces continue to make the rounds to this date and make us break into a cold sweat, especially when you listen to them in rapt attention at nights. So why don't these stories succeed in their motive of scaring us in the dark confines of a cineplex? Stories about ghosts, spirits, haunted mansions and paranormal activities aren't alien for us Indians, right?<br><br> Like the Ramsays, director Wilson Louis, known for spooky films [HO SAKTA HAI, MALLIKA, now KAALO], might soon have his name entering the record books. From the current lot of film-makers, here's one film-maker choosing subjects of the horror thriller variety; perhaps he doesn't wish to change tracks. Perhaps, his sole aim is to scare the living daylights of the viewers and also take them on a mysterious journey, which he does quite convincingly with this one. <br><br> Also, Wilson takes up the challenge to make a 'day horror film', which may have been extremely difficult to make in view of the fact that you can't conceal details of the visual effects in daylight. Moreover, to scare the audience in broad daylight, without a single shot of an eerie night, is a rarity. Another important aspect of KAALO is that it's a creature-based movie, not a ghost-based horror. <br><br> <center<!-- Javascript tag --> <!-- begin ZEDO for channel: BH Movie Review , publisher: Bollywood Hungama , Ad Dimension: Medium Rectangle - 300 x 250 --> <script language="JavaScript"> var zflag_nid="585"; var zflag_cid="947"; var zflag_sid="36"; var zflag_width="300"; var zflag_height="250"; var zflag_sz="9"; </script> <script language="JavaScript" src="https://c2.zedo.com/jsc/c2/fo.js"></script> <!-- end ZEDO for channel: BH Movie Review , publisher: Bollywood Hungama , Ad Dimension: Medium Rectangle - 300 x 250 --></center<BR> KAALO has its share of pitfalls, but the film holds your attention for most parts. It may not be the best in the genre, but makes for interesting viewing for sure. <br><br> Kaalo was a witch who lived in Kulbhata during the 18th century. She was killed and buried by angry villagers for sacrificing young girls to satisfy her greed for immortality, but her fear lived on. Years later, villagers spoke of Kaalo's sightings yet again. They claimed she was even more angry and dangerous and she was back to finish what she left incomplete. Kulbhata was vacated overnight by scared villagers. <br><br> All roads leading to Kulbhata were sealed by horrifying tales of Kaalo killing anyone who dared to enter Kulbhata. Until a bus carrying a few passengers on its way to Kuldevi had to pass through Kulbhata. One of the passengers on the bus was a twelve-year-old girl named Shona [Swini Khara], who is traveling alone to spend her vacation at her grandmother's house in the neighboring village. <br><br> During the course of the journey, Shona and co-passenger Sameer [Aditya Shrivastav] strike a rapport. Sameer is traveling with a bag loaded with gun powder to blast a small hillock, which would give way to a water canal for his drought-hit village. Badly disfigured and thirsty for blood, Kaalo could smell the girl from miles away... and heads straight for the bus. When the passengers realize they were staring into death, everything changes. They realize Shona is their reason for dying. Everyone wants her out of the bus, except Sameer. <br><br> The first thing that catches your eye is the way the camera moves in this film [cinematography: Pushpank Gawde]. That, very frankly, impressed me the most at the outset. The second thing I'd like to make a mention of is the visual effects, which makes this film stand out from the various films of its ilk. But the problem with KAALO is that a few sequences are stretched unnecessarily and that slackens the pace of the film. Besides, the conclusion to the story is not convincing at all. The creature has supernatural powers, yet combats Aditya Shrivastav like a mortal. That's one cinematic liberty you can't digest. Also, though KAALO belongs to the horror variety, it isn't chilling, terrifying or bloodcurdling, nor do you bite your nails in nervousness while watching the creature. <br><br> Director Wilson Louis goes a step forward when you compare it with HO SAKTA HAI and two steps forward when you recall MALLIKA. His handling of the subject and also the means and ways the creature eliminates one by one is the hallmark of the film. The camerawork, like I pointed out at the very outset, is top notch. <br><br> Speaking of performances, Aditya Shrivastav does well. Swini Khara doesn't get ample scope. Amongst the passengers in the bus, Abhijeet Satam, Aditya Lakhia and Raj Arjun register the maximum impact. Prashant Kumar is alright. Paintal and Sheela Sharma are perfect. Hemant Pandey is adequate. <br><br> On the whole, KAALO is an interesting watch for fans of this genre. It has decent merits, but few shortcomings too along the way. If the horror genre excites you then try this one. However, the one factor that goes against the film is that it has been released without much awareness. One genuinely wishes that sincere attempts like these were released with a little more hype and fanfare or else all the sincerity goes completely unnoticed with an unsung release.</span>
