to catch early shows (as early as 4.30 am) of Rajinikanth's new film and they say the wait was worth it. "Kaala pakka masssss... #Thalaivar all side sixer," tweeted on excited fan during the film's interval. "Such a feel good first half filled with lovely characters and enjoyable comedies. Solid Interval and the fight scene before that," added another Twitter user.
Kaala, directed by Pa Ranjith, features

Here's what fans, who've seen
Kaala, said about the film:
Kaala opened to packed shows on Thursday morning. Fans all over the world set off fireworks and cheered as the superstar took the centrestage. Here's a scene from outside theatre in Chennai at 4.15 am:
Kaala is Rajinikanth's second consecutive gangster film after
Kabali (also directed by Pa Ranjith). Though celebrations for the release of
Kaala are in full swing, Karnataka is lagging behind. Pro-Kannada outfits threatened to disrupt the film's screening even though the Supreme Court refused to stay the film's release. Rajinikanth on Wednesday appealed to the protesting outfits: "I have not done any mistake.
Please do not disturb those who want to watch the movie. I request your cooperation," reports news agency PTI.
Kaala is produced by Rajinikanth's son-in-law Dhanush and it also stars Nana Patekar, Huma Qureshi and Eshwari Rao.
