	Producer: Dharma Productions
	Director: Soham Shah
Music: Salim-Sulaiman
Year of release: April 2005

'KAAL' is directed by Soham who has learnt the art of film-making from two distinguished directors Ram Gopal Verma and Karan Johar. Obviously the expectations from the film will be of higher standard and 'Kaal' proves to be one. 'Kaal' has that edge-of-the-seat excitement of RGV movies, and the production values are as lavish as Karan Johar flicks.

Story:
Ace conservationist Krish [John Abraham] and Riya [Esha Deol] are entrusted with the job of finding out the reason behind the mysterious deaths caused by man-eating tigers in the past two months. Dev [Vivek Oberoi], with his group of friends [Kushal Punjabi, Vishal Malhotra] and girlfriend Ishika [Lara Dutta], set out for an adventure trip for the weekend. Destiny diverts them from going to the farmhouse they had planned to visit and they are led towards Orbit Park, a jungle, for an unexpected ride. The two groups bond together, but the same night the fear that revolved around the jungle comes alive. Now starts a journey with fear, panic and trauma as death is felt in the air. The gang comes across Kali [Ajay Devgan], who takes the challenge of helping them escape out of the jungle. Together they must fight the unseen force in order to survive.

Music:
There are only two songs in the movie, first song picturised on Shahrukh Khan and Malaika comes at the start of the movie has good beat and is foot tapping. The second song comes at the end.

Performance:
The performances of all the three lead characters are perfect. Ajay Devgan finds the right tone for his character and delivers a knockout performance. Vivek Oberoi's role suits him to the T. John Abraham's performance is excellent. Both Esha Deol and Lara Dutta have nothing much to do except to look pretty and hang around their men with skimpy outfits. Vishal Malhotra is efficient. Dayashanker Pandey impresses in a brief role. Kushal Punjabi, Parmeet Sethi are adequate.

Verdict:
Above Average.
