What the Tamil teaser suggests:

The teaser of Kabali says it all. We are in for punch lines, Rajini-style. Perhaps, in a long, long time, we are going to see Rajini in a role reminiscent of his pristine style.

So far as the teaser goes, director Pa.Ranjith has exceeded the expectations. The one-minute-six-seconds-long teaser showcases the evergreen and the most loved Superstar at his arrogant and stylish best. It is unbelievable that he is 65. What a style, what a swagger, what a walk! The charisma of the Thalaivar has not reduced a bit over the years.

The teaser focuses mainly on Kabali's don character and most of it is Rajini-oriented, unsurprisingly, with a blink-and-you-miss appearance for Kishore who plays the lead villain and Radhika Apte is said to be Rajinikanth's pair in the film.

The teaser treats us with Rajinikanth's inimitable laughter, unmatched walking style, stylized stunts and a lengthy dialogue that brilliantly captures who is Kabali. Thalaivar even mimics the legendary villain Nambiar while uttering this particular dialogue. (Something that the Telugu audience won't understand as we are not familiar).

The teaser vouches for this fact. Thalaivar utters the word Magizchi, the word often used by Ranjith in his public appearances and communication.

The teaser also packs a surprise with a new young get up for Rajinikanth in the flash back sequences. The looks reminds us of his Billa days.

Santhosh Narayanan's brilliant re-recording plays a vital role in uplifting the zeal of watching Thalaivar's performance.
