    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.

    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.

    Film is more than what you expect, more than the Revenge Story

    Keep in mind following things before seeing this film or any film.

    1) Be the director while watching it not the critic.

    2) Assume what makers and actors were gone through pressure while making this kind of films.

    3) Put yourself in a protagonist. feel what the actor (Hrithik Roshan) is feeling while pretending to be a blind.

    4) Don't compare it with any other movie, (for e.g. Can you compare Inception to Matrix? Probably no! every film has its own goal)

    5) Rohan Bhatnagar is not Daredevil, He has no supernatural power.

    6) And finally the story - You will see it is not just a Revenge Drama, but still it is more than your expectations.

    A Final Intellectual Argument

    See there are 125 crore peoples in India. If they want to entertain they always choose to entertain first - 60% them want to see trustful actors (Amir,Salman,Shahrukh,Akshay,Ajay and Hrithik). they have already assumed! lets go and see first. Another 40% of people who may be Hollywood fans like level first - They watch only VFX films like (Aavatar, The Junglebook, Godzilla and Furrius 7 Kind) if they can't see perfectness of story while watching such films. they just watching films under visual trusts like VFX. then who are we 40% of people to argue with those 60% who just wanna entertain? (Whatver if actor is big criminal - salman).

    don't be a critic be the audience first

    Must Must Must Watch Movie

    This is the come back movie for Hrithik, He has done and amazing Performance in this Movie . Story and Screenplay is Mind blowing, Fantastic Story You will Love this Movie totally Fascinating.

    DONT MISS IT , DO WATCH!!!

    U will be glued to your seats, the entire film. BRILLIANT!!!

    The story is simple that a blind man takes revenge but with a lot of twist and turns. Rohan, a proficient dubbing artiste and Supriya, a talented pianist--who despite their handicap have a positive disposition towards life. They fall in love and gets married but something tragic happens and their world is destroyed. That's when Ronit Roy and corrupt police officers, played efficiently by Narendra Jha and Girish Kulkarni, drag their feet over the investigation.When the humiliation gets too much to bear, Supriya caves in, leaving Rohan with vendetta on his mind. Here, the film shifts gears and though you know what's next, the cat and mouse game still gives you an adrenaline rush. Every time the blind vigilante commits an atrocity, you whistle in the aisle. The main highlight is Hrithik's performance. He has literally given it all. Yami provides the perfect foil, subtle and super-effective.Technically the film is adept, Thanks to masters like Sudeep Chatterjee (camera) and Resul Pookutty(sound). However Rajesh Roshan's yesteryear hits—Saara Zamana and Dil Kya Karen in their remixed avatars are pale imitations of their original versions. P.S. Its very emotional and watch out for the last 15 minutes

    • 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.
