I'm afraid there's no other way to say it: Kabali is a drag.

You'll have to be a real cynic with a terrific will power to not enjoy this film.

Kabali is a step in the right direction for Rajinikanth; let's just hope he keeps on walking.

Kabali is no generic gangster drama but an intellectually provocative political statement.

Kumuthan Maderya
PopMatters
Pretty much like any other Rajinikanth starrer, Kabali is more than just a film. It is a full-on event... But having said that, is there anything at all in Kabali that sets it apart in tone and tenor from the superstar's recent outings? Precious little.

Saibal Chatterjee

It takes Rajnikanth's presence to make Kabali an entertaining movie. Without him, this would've been a good looking but very forgettable film.

Rachit Gupta
Filmfare
As a tribute to a demigod of cinema, "Kabali" doesn't need anything but Rajinikanth on screen for it to work. As a film though, it falls short on many levels, and no amount of hero worship can cloak that fact.

The Rajini-Ranjith combo takes this risk and passes the test by a considerable margin. However, not with flying colours.

Vignesh Radhakrishnan
Hindustan Times
Kabali is the first of his films in a long time that shows off the superstar as a proper actor.

July 25, 2016 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Anjali Raguraman
The Straits Times (Singapore)
[Ranjith's] scores of fans, needless to say, are in for a treat, watching him in, probably, the most stylish and dapper avatar in his recent outings.

Thinkal Menon
The Times of India
With occasional moments of brilliance, the movie partly quenches the thirst of die-hard Rajnikanth-fans and panders to the Tamil audience in Malaysia.

Vasudevan Sridharan
International Business Times
Kabali makes a half-hearted attempt to rescue the actor who has now become the stuff of Gifs, but its filmmakers are unwilling to pass up the opportunity to milk Rajinimania for as long as they can.
