The story has twists in the form of betrayals and unexpected reunions. These are so common in the film that the ‘unpredictabe’ plot twists soon becomes predictable.
However, Kabali has enough ‘goosebump’ moments too. The scene where Rajinikanth is doing pull-ups on a cross bar, testing his fitness before he’s released from jail after serving a long term, fuels the imagination and teases us with what is to come . After signalling his arrival in style by flooring his old foe inside his den, Kabali is shown heartbroken by the loss of his beloved wife Kumudavalli, played by Radhika Apte.
