Review of Kaabil

Kaabil (2017)
7/10
A winner for this Hrithik Roshan cat and mouse thriller.
25 January 2017
Mohenjo Daro, Kites, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, and Mujhse Dosti Karoge. These are movies where Hrithik Roshan screwed up as an actor.

Following by flawless performances he gave in Jodhaa Akbar, Dhoom 2, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, and Guzaarish. This one happens to be his best out of the ordinary. So basically he follows a pattern of being good to bad and bad to good.

The trailer was bit underwhelming making the plot of the film too predictable but quite frankly it is a pretty decent movie.

So right now we are looking at a blind man who does voice acting for a living and falls in love with a blind woman who is a pianist and musician. They both have a very happy life even after marriage until one day 2 corrupt men rape the blind girl and commits suicide with remorse of the pain she went through. Then the it seeks revenge on this matter.

The acting was good. Hrithik Roshan gave a flawless performance as Rohan Bhatnagar and he got into his character really well and finally deviated from Mohenjo Daro.

I always found Yami Gautam to be an underrated actress but she was decent.

The Roy brothers also gave fantastic performances and they kept the flow of the film afloat.

Sanjay Gupta directed lots of films like Shootout at Wadala,and Jazbaa. These were very average films. The only issue with this guy is that his direction is very poor. He shoots everything at a 45 degree angle which gets annoying. He did the same for this film. I almost felt that the direction of the film could've been better and also he used too much green screen. Who uses green screen to shoot a Mumbai spot? I mean it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Rakesh Roshan despite him being a producer of the film managed to give a good one.

The story and screenplay was good including the twists and references that were made in the movie. The cinematography was decent done by Sudeep Chatterjee and Ayananka Bose. The action scenes were choreographed in a good way.

The pacing and editing could've been better.

Despite its flaws, it is a good film with good writing and acting. This is a cinema worth watching movie.

Box office will be consistent but it won't beat Raees because of the hype created by Raees.

Will look at a 80-100 crore prediction.
