Namrata Joshi The Hindu The world is neatly stacked between the very good and the extremely bad. There is no scope for any in-betweenness of being. Then there are dialogues from another era... Feb 5, 2019 Full Review Anupama Chopra Hindustan Times 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. Rated: 3/5 Jan 27, 2017 Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian It's not good, exactly, but I can't say it's not watchable on some far-out level. Rated: 2/5 Jan 25, 2017 Full Review Pradeep Menon Firstpost An honest Shah Rukh Khan fan will admit Hrithik's film is better. Oct 25, 2023 Full Review Meena Iyer The Times of India The highlight of the film is Hrithik's bravura performance. He is vulnerable as a lover and menacing as a killing-machine. Half a star in the movie-rating is reserved for his all-time best performance here. Rated: 4/5 Feb 5, 2019 Full Review Rahul Desai Film Companion Kaabil is a challenge to sit through. It relies on a daft script that decides to make Roshan a professional dubbing artist to fill its giant loopholes. Rated: 1.5/5 Feb 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

yash b As far as revenge movies go, "Kaabil" really only has one thing that makes it unique. The movie feels like a mash of conflicting tones and at a point, I felt a bit jaded by the movie. There is some entertainment value in it but I felt it could have been shorter and maybe tried to incorporate at least some logic in some of the moments in the final act. The movie expects us to take everything seriously with some of the events in the story and the dark nature of them, so when a blind man is taking people out with no issues at all, it felt like I was watching a movie. I think the movie feels messy in a lot of ways, but by the end, I liked it enough to say that it was okay. I felt like it could have been a better movie but at the same time, I also felt like it could have been a lot worse if it had worse actors. Overall, this is just a passable Bollywood movie that is decent if you watch it but isn't among the best either. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Outstanding performance by Hrithik and Ronit Roy is brilliant in his role Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome Acting By HR. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Well Directed, Watchable movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member What a acting of Hrithik Roshan...and film goes for 5 star and more ... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Though there are many quirks apparently peculiar to Indian movies that might trouble a western viewer, I found the movie quite watchable and satisfying thanks largely to the strength of the cast. You'll need to suspend belief just a bit, but not as much as, say, while watching a superhero movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
