Kaabil Review

Here’s my review of the movie Kaabil:

Rating: 3 out of 5

Story: The story begins with the lead actors Hrithik Roshan (Rohan) and Yami Gautam (Supriya), who are blind, meeting at a restaurant which is said to be their first date. Rohan works as a dubbing artist and Yami is a piano teacher. They both don’t have plans to get married as they feel that two incomplete people cannot complete each other. The story then progresses and Supriya gets to know Rohan as a man who can protect her and they both have a bright future together. They get married and life gives them a new chance to be happy with each other. However, their happiness is short-lived and an evil man Ronit Roy (Amit) who eyes Supriya’s beauty and he and his friend physically assault her. Rohan and Supriya try to seek justice but being blind and helpless, they don’t succeed. The next day, Supriya commits suicide and Rohan gets to know from Amit’s brother, Madhavrao Shellar, (Ronit Roy) that she had been raped the second time. Rohan loses his control and warns the police department that he’ll seek revenge but they won’t be able to stop him. The story of revenge then begins.

Direction : The Director of this movie is Sanjay Gupta. Sanjay has done an excellent job. The story is similar to other revenge stories where the female lead is physically assaulted and the husband seeks revenge but here the male lead being blind brings in a lot of WOW moments as it proves that being disabled doesn’t make a person helpless but he is more powerful that abled humans.

Star Performance : The star cast of this movie consists Hrithik Roshan, Yami Gautam, Rohit Roy, Ronit Roy and Narendra Jha. Hrithik had played many good roles in his career but I can say that the role of Rohan Bhatnagar has been one of his career’s best roles. Yami too matched his acting ability to an extent and their chemistry was fab. Rohit Roy was quite disappointing as his role was storng but he did not try to put an effort and look evil compared to his real-life brother Ronit Roy who had a short role but a powerful one in which he excelled. I haven’t seen Narendra Jha’s performance earlier but he too did a great job as an inspector and was convincing in playing a cop.

Music : The music of this movie is given by Rajesh Roshan. This kind of a movie did not need any songs but there are still a few of them. The songs like “Kaabil Hoon” and “Mon Amour” were pleasant ones.

Plus Point :  Being a revenge drama, the movie has done a good job. The movie had many new elements that made us watch how a blind man can seek revenge and this was presented very well by the director and actor.

Minus Point : The only minus point of the movie is that the story was short and it did not have any suspense as to how the blind man finds out the culprits or how do the enemies find out that the blind man is seeking revenge. The story was quite predictable and had no elements that made me feel shocked or surprised at any moment.

All In One : All in one, the movie is a good one-time watch and Hrithik Roshan and Ronit Roy put in a lot of effort into their roles that makes it a total entertainer. The chemistry of Hrithik and Yami too has come out so beautifully and they playing such a role for the first time convincingly made their performance so believable. I give it a total of three stars (2 for the revenge element and 1 for Hrithik’s performance).
