Dharavi continues to fascinate. The biggest slum in southern Asia has been the background for some movies but those that had missed its collective sentiment, which Rajinikanth's latest blockbuster Kaala talks about. The film makes a definite statement in the context of Dharavi's much controversial redevelopment plan that has been pushed ahead by successive governments, builder lobbies, bureaucrats and political parties in a manner that the majority of residents don't approve of.

Kaala is a complete package, exceedingly overt in talking how politics affects the economy and sociology of Dharavi. Tactics are used by select insiders and outsiders to disturb the harmony of one of the largest conglomerates of Dalits and minorities.
