‘Kaala’: A film that underlines the need for Bahujan unity

'Kaala' is the first film of its kind in 100 years of Indian cinema. Not just for the acting, music, storytelling, the artistic and entertaining cinematography and editing, but also for its true portrayal of society and the new political strategies on view. It attacks a politics of religious frenzy just as Periyar did by burning Manuvadi texts
