Kallu

About This Movie

Kallu (1988) is a curious piece that intertwines the journey of sight and moral decline. The film follows a blind man whose vision is restored, but rather than embracing his new life, he succumbs to the darker facets of human nature. The atmosphere is heavy, almost oppressive, mirroring the societal pressures that taint his character. Performances are raw, capturing the internal struggle vividly. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the audience to dwell on his transformation, which is both compelling and unsettling. What’s distinctive here is how it tackles blindness not just as a physical state, but as a metaphor for moral blindness. It’s a film that lingers, raising questions about gratitude and the essence of humanity in a corrupt world.
