Rajinikanth's latest film 'Kaala' carried a low buzz that no other Rajini film had in the last two decades. 'Kaala' movie couldn't do the expected pre-release business. Even advance bookings were an all-time low for a Rajinikanth film. It is pretty clear that the first day collections are going to be less. There are no signs of movie created box office records. As the film received mixed talk, the final collections will not be in the range of a Rajini film. By watching all this, people started commenting that Rajini has lost his charisma. Some people are commenting that it is a warning bell for Rajini.
We can understand the fact in those statements if we think logically. Rajini's next film after 'Kaala' is '2.0'. If we can assume the craze the movie will have at the time of release, then we can understand the truth in these statements. The expectations are already sky high on '2.0'. As soon as they open the advance bookings online, they will be sold like hotcakes. As the movie is a high budget extravaganza, so the makers will release it in a huge number of theatres and it will create box office records.
The situation of 'Kaala' is different. Audience had huge expectations on 'Kabali' but the movie turned out to be a huge disappointment. As the same combination repeated for 'Kaala'.. promos appeared to be similar to 'Kabali', the audience didn't expect much from 'Kaala'. That doesn't mean Rajini lost his charisma. There is a huge response for Rajini moments in 'Kaala'. There is Superstar's magic in 'Kaala' but the director failed to utilise it completely.
