Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Jithin K Mohan The most fun film of the year. Saif Ali Khan is fantastic and Sobhita Dhullipala also gives a notable performance after her brilliant performance in Raman Raghav 2.0 which was overshadowed by the terrific 2 lead performances. I know I am in a minority here but this has instantly become one of my favourite stoner comedies.

khooni_billa A movie so bad that you will question yourself before watching next saif's movie. reviewing it cos of all the fake reviews that has been posted on it. Not a single moment of anticipation, even the role of deepak dobriyal and vijay raj has been ruined by the awful storyline that was neither engaging nor funny. It was like the director had an imagination of what drugs felt like when he was in 6th grade. spare yourself an hour of forwarding this crap

SagarMehta87 Indian cinema is rapt with sentimental, over-the-top and routinely cheesy films that revolve around family or romance or both and barely explores new areas. Other than the occasional horror flick from Vikram Bhatt or something out of the Kashyapscape, there's never any respite from from the drudgery of dance numbers and emo-esque melodies. A film like Kalakandi therefore has the responsibility not only to be different but to be extremely entertaining to stay relevant.That's not a good predicament to be in, though it does succeed in being a black comedy as it claims to be. The first half has genuine laughs. Where it falters as a movie is where it gives in to the lore of backstories and motives. It isn't enough that Saif has a life-ending disease (the news of which triggers the film's "trip"), but also a failed marriage and a son he doesn't get to meet. That story arc finds only 2 mentions and adds no layers to the character.What does work really well are the acid trip visuals. Although slightly incorrect in how they're shown and possibly a bit exaggerated, they do give a kind of preview of what a real trip might be like and also add to the laughs sprinkled throughout the film.Another thing the film achieves, with surprising success for Bollywood, is its treatment of a transgender character. Without being overtly sexual or derogatory, it still goes through the cliches and curiosities around them. That's mature film-making.There's 2 other story tropes, with two young couples at a night out and two thugs planning a way to loot their boss. It's a pleasure to see Shenaz Treasurywala (Ishq Vishk, remember?) and Pappi Bhaiya (Deepak Dobriyal), who holds his own in every frame with Vijay Raaz.The star power is surely with Saif but he never steals the spotlight. It's the perfect kind of film for Saif because he has certain limitations when he's the leading man. Without him though, this would feel like an indie film about getting high and money or something. Him being there helps the film and even the scenes where he isn't there, simply because you want to go back to find out what's up with him.The film doesn't try to tie together the three plots, except a chance meeting of 10-15 seconds. Better editing would help. The one thing I despised was the last scene when Pappi gets hit by a bullet Saif shoots towards the sky. I was reminded of the movie Welcome. That felt obvious for the film and yet very forced.I'd say watch it for the first half, and let the second half go by without complaining.

Takethispunch This film is a non stop, hilarious n crude at times. Havent laughed so much in a long time. The editing, direction b acting were awesome n so were the hot chicks.
