Kaala, the new Rajnikanth film, did take good openings on first day in Tamil Nadu, but ended up with a lukewarm response elsewhere in India.
The movie did not get as hyped up as Kabali and it being the repeat of the combination that delivered Kabali, also did not help the cause.
The expectations from the film were bare minimum and the talk has been mixed with few liking it and mainly, critics bashing it.
Aamir Khan, Bollywood superstar, tweeted about the movie, saying that he cannot wait to watch Rajni on screen as his ardent fan.
Even that tweet did not help the film to increase the buzz and one has to say, even though Rajinikanth can still command a big opening, Pa. Ranjith's ideology with Rajni as a hero, has been rejected big-time by Tamilians too.
