FILM KAABIL SONG MOVIE

Thankfully, Hrithik Roshan’s superlative performance hides most flaws in this brooding thriller.

FILM KAABIL SONG MOVIE

The entire movie should have been wrapped up in a breezy 90-odd minutes, a good 30 minutes less than it takes to unfold on screen. This movie takes too much time to establish its conflict and premise. That would’ve only made Kaabil a better film.Īmongst all its shortcomings, none are more serious than the pace of Kaabil. With a little more effort, director Sanjay Gupta and his team of writers could’ve designed better and more authentic antagonists. But you just can’t believe how hopelessly one dimensional these roles are. You’d want to hate them for what they do to a perfectly happy and in-love couple. They are the classic antagonist tropes of action films, guys who talk shit and do everything to look evil. Brothers Rohit’s and Ronit’s characters are menacing but they’re also stereotypes. The emotions and the characters of Kaabil, the lead pair particularly, is strong and compel the viewer to empathise with their romance and subsequent tragedy. With a lot of similarities to the Korean flick Broken (2014), the girl victim in both films is referred to as Su, Kaabil still sets itself apart. Frustrated and broken, a helpless Rohan takes up vigilante justice to punish the offenders. Amit and his friend rape Supriya and the politically connected elder brother prevents the cops from helping out the young couple. But the moment their fairytale romance is consummated, tragedy strikes in the form of the unruly Amit (Rohit Roy) and his MLA brother Shelar (Ronit Roy). Slowly and steadily they convince each other that two blind people can actually be a successful pair. They look like a match made in heaven, but they don’t instantly agree to courtship. Blind but extremely self assured and confident Rohan (Hrithik Roshan) meets the extremely beautiful and fiercely independent Supriya (Yami Gautam). The first half of Kaabil is dedicated to the build up.

The classic underdog premise is presented with precision and panache. A blind man outwits the bad guys and the cops. Kaabil is a simple revenge saga, made unique by the disability of its protagonist. Hrithik’s sincere performance overshadows any and all shortcomings of this thriller. Their love, their heartbreak and their tragedy becomes that much more convincing. Once you’re invested in this adorable couple and their unique romance, rest of the film becomes a breeze. The first few scenes of Kaabil establish the characters of blind lovers with great ease. Kaabil Review: It takes Hrithik Roshan just 10 minutes to convince you, he’s a blind man. Quick take: Engaging thriller with a memorable Hrithik Roshan performance
