This is new-age cinema but could have been much better. 'Kaal' shows debutant director Soham's 'Bhoot' as well as the 'Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham' hangover. He happens to have directed Ram Gopal Varma and Karan Johar in their respective films. The sound is so typically 'Bhoot'. Not surprising for it is Dwarak Warrier at work here too. The look of the film and that of the cast has also been given a lot of attention to, so typically Karan Johar. But unfortunately this is one of the downers of the film. The actors are stuck in the jungle but are dressed like they are out on a fun trip.

The only person who looks true to character is our own dependable Ajay Devgan. But unfortunately in this film, he cannot perk up the on-screen proceedings. However, his entry creates an impact.

Conservationist Krish (John Abraham) and wife Riya (Esha Deol) are entrusted with the job of finding out the reason behind the mysterious deaths caused by man-eating tigers in Orbit Park. Dev (Vivek Oberoi) and his girlfriend Ishika (Lara Dutta) set out on an adventure trip with friends Shahid (Kushal Punjabi), and Vishal (Vishal Malhotra).
