Just reminiscing the awesomeness that is Kaala and celebrating Rajini through some stills from the film. Personally, I consider this Pa Ranjith film to be the Best Superstar film in quite a few years!

Andha sirippa paarunga sir... Meesa dhaadi vecha kuzhandhaiyappa

Can you hear the Poovaaga en kaadhal thaenoorudho line when you see the romantic in Karikalan slowly waking up???

Superstar is without a doubt namma ooru Thanga sela...

I don't know if anyone else can rock the black kurta, black shades, black veshti combo like how Superstar did it in Kaala

Blue and Black. We know what it means. Pa Ranjith and Rajinikanth have ensured we'd not forget it anytime soon

Playing his age. Dancing his age. Through Kaala, Superstar Rajinikanth reminded a lot of us that he is also Super Actor Rajinikanth

There is a visible sense of comfort in Rajinikanth's demeanour in Kaala. He is comfortable. We are comfortable. There is no chase behind a style. He gets it wherever he is.

I know it is not the Kya Re Setting-a setpiece... but one look at Kaala's look here, and I get transported to that epic line!!! Vengaiya mavan othaiyile nikkaraaaaru

the war begins, and Kaala has brought together the most important weapon in this fight... People.

Driving around in a black jeep, Kaala doled out justice in whatever way he deemed right

Who knew Kaala could be a romantic? Who knew that Superstar had it in him to do a proper love story in his film devoid of any problematic tropes?

Steely resolve. Icy gaze. Kaala meant business, and Superstar delivered a career-high performance like it was nobody's business

Who could fathom a big-time masala filmmaker inside Pa Ranjith. Of course, he is a lot more than that, but look at some of the frames showcasing the Superstar and you'd understand it too.

It was very important that Kaala was flawed. Every STAR film needs the star to have a big fall. Instead of external forces, it is his personal choices that results in the fall. Lovely touch by Ranjith

Unlimited Swag. Kaala and Superstar Rajinikanth were Unlimited and Ultimate Swagness personified

The sprawling Dharavi was displayed with all its glory and flaws. IT almost felt like Kaala was a human embodiment of the area. Tough, resilient, and looking to improve constantly.

A particularly interesting facet of Kaala is the sense of family in every character. Everyone is connected in some way. Some by relation. Some by pain. Some by celebration. Some by struggle.

Talking about celebrations, the importance of Ranjith lies in how he showcases all the facets of the life of the oppressed. It isn't all tears and despair. There are laughs and happiness too.

When you finish the movie with the melange of colours that hits all of us, we always look back at this frame. A frame that defines the film, the director, and of course, Superstar Rajinikanth

Its been three years already since Kaala took our collective consciousness by storm. The impact of this character and film has just begun, and the inroads will be deeper and more impactful, for sure!
