    BRILLIANT CONCEPT with having Emotions and Heart at Right Place

    KAABIL REVIEW : If you've watched and liked Film's trailer then you will get all expected things in Film just like me. Excellent Writing, High on Emotions, Good Direction, Heart Touching concept and last but not the least Kaabil hits your heart and melts it. Details to follow -

    Acting- Let's welcome Very first nominee in Best Actor Category of almost every Award show of next year, Hritik Roshan the man does it again. He proved that when it comes to Acting Oriented films, he's Such fine Actor. It's Not his career's best but surely in Top 5. But we got surprise here, a beautiful lady, Yami Gautam did it and made it Best performance of her career (Not so Big yet) so far. Roy bros are Fantastic. Others are Realistic and Good.

    Writing- Excellent ! Such a beautiful script it is which has emotions till the end.

    Screenplay- Fantastic ! With run time of 140 minutes i don't think screenplay could have been better than this on the same script.

    Cinematography- Good. At some scenes Locations looks B Grade but rest cinematographer totally nails it. Especially in Lightning, Disappearing scenes.

    Music - Above Average ! 'Mon Amour' is Average but Choreography is excellent If you're ready to exclude some mistakes. 'Main Tere Kaabil' is the Best Song in Film and it's situational too, 'Saraa Zamana' is Timepass but Urvashi looks hot in it.

    Direction- Very Good ! Kaabil is perhaps the Best Work of Sanjay Gupta so far. He succeeded in connecting film with everyone's emotions and film makes you cry at some scenes. Many Expected mistakes and minuses are there in Direction but i don't expect Gupta to work like Nolan so it is Okay. I'm hoping to meet Sanjay sir soon and thank him for Such a Lovely and Heart-touching film.

    Final Words- With better direction this Film would've been a Masterpiece or a Classic at least but it fails achieve that feat but still it's a MUST WATCH film for all those who have emotions. Kaabil is Silent message for those heartless people who underestimates Disable people, actually i feel it gives you a social message that we Normal people should never tease Disable people and we should feel lucky that we're living normal life not like Disable people. I'm going with 7/10* stars and i strongly recommend this film to everyone, just inches away from a Classic Tag, still Film deserves to be watched at least Once at Any cost. Thank you Kaabil team for giving me such a Kaabil (Successful) Film.

    Kaabil Stands for HRITHIK ROSHAN

    Kaabil has a Predictable Plot with an Entertaining Screenplay.

    The best part of the movie is the Romantic Drama and the Conviction of both the lead actors as Blind Persons. Background Scores and Music adds the Flavor to Kaabil's Entertainment Quotient.

    Kaabil is start to finish Hrithik Roshan's Movie and after watching the movie its hard to Imagine anyone else in that Role.

    In that Sense its one of the BEST of HR's film career.

    Watch it for The HRITHIK ROSHAN Only.

    P.S: haters should stay away from this movie. Are you listening Ms. Queen ?!

    HRITHIK, he is not just an actor, he is emotion with excellence

    Lets begin with the story, the story is outstanding and very gripping,also the major fact is that, this is unpredictable with huge amounts of twist. Then cinematography is the main plus point of the movie, the director and the whole kaabil team work really hard, and the result is the movie is so logical. You can't even raise a drawback against this movie. Now comes to Hrithik Roshan, in a word , he is "brilliant" , the culminating point of brilliance and purity come as a result of Hrithik Roshan. He is blind but yet he plays with his eyes, so engaging fact this is. Yami is as cute as polar beer, also acts very cleverly, ronit and rohit are awesome too. But the main fact is that this not a sanjay gupta masterpiece, Im damn sure that Rakesh Sir helps him a lot to deliver more promising atmosphere.

    One of the very best movies of the last decade

    It was also one of hrithiks very best performances of his career. He performed so perfectly and convincingly. He has truly mastered it all. Sadly it didn't release in cinema near me else it truly would have been worth the big screen experience. I first watched it on Netflix when it was first available for streaming. Hrithik stole the show completely. I watched it a few years ago and I still remember how impressed I was. Every one definitely should give this at least 1 try if you still haven't seen it. I'm sure 9/10 people will really enjoy it.

    Best of 2017

    I've probably seen Kaabil ten times now and still can say it's the best movie of 2017 hands down. Hrithik shines bright in this one, only slightly overshadowing the performances of Ronit Roy and Yami Gautam. The plot, storyline and execution by Sanjay Gupta take me back to some of the brilliance he had shown early in his career with Hamesha and Aatish. But Kaabil is the complete Package where some of his earlier works fell short, Kaabil makes up for and then some.

    • Trivia
      Hrithik prepared for his role in Kaabil extensively. It is reported that he locked himself in his house for four-five days to get into the skin of the character. He also moved around the house blindfolded so he could get himself acquainted with the body language of the blind people. He also invited a few blind people and keenly studied their mannerisms and expressions.

      Rohan Bhatnagar: [confronting Inspector Chaube, after the police failed to protect his wife] If your law system had helped me, I wouldn't have to do anything. Now, I'll have to...

      Inspector Chaubey: You think our eyes will be closed?

      Rohan Bhatnagar: Your eyes will be open, but you won't be able to see anything. Your ears will be open, but you won't be able to hear anything. You will try to speak, but you won't be able to say anything. And most importantly... you'll figure everything out, but you won't be able to explain it to anyone.
