Hrithik Is As Kaabil As Ever, The Rest Of This Vendetta Drama Certainly Isn’t

Kaabil serves nothing beyond an unabashed platform to vaunt a seething Hrithik, sentimental Hrithik, snarky Hrithik, sly Hrithik or spry Hrithik

Kaabil is a B-grade genre film elevated by the blazing talent of its lead player — Hrithik Roshan. Hrithik invests so much sweat and sincerity in this slim story that he forces us to stay invested in it.

Engaging thriller with a memorable Hrithik Roshan performance

Full review on Film Fare

Rachit Gupta, Film Fare

A blind couple is terrorised by local goons: the wife is raped and the cops are unhelpful because the perpetrator is the brother of a local politician. The young blind man decides to take the law into his own hands. No one takes him seriously because of his disability. But he takes his revenge slowly and surely and the police are unable to pin the murders of the rapists on him. This revenge drama is perhaps Hrithik Roshan's best work, but hampered by a deathly slow pace.

Sanjay Gupta would have done well to start Kaabil in the middle of the story and limit the romance to flashbacks, like Aamir Khan did in Ghajini. Unfortunately, the film is divided into a romantic first half and an action-based second half, leaving a disjointed feeling that does justice to neither

If you like a masala entertainer with good performances, decent screenplay and restrained direction, then 'Kaabil' is totally worthy for sure. The realistic cinema lovers might find it hard to digest.

“Kaabil” may not be in the class of 2015’s “Badlapur” when it comes to exploring the nature of vendetta, but it doesn’t discredit the genre either, and the credit should rest on the shoulders of its leading man.
