Kaabil

Kaabil is a 2017 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film produced by Rakesh Roshan and directed by Sanjay Gupta. It stars Hrithik Roshan as Rohan Bhandari, a visually impaired photographer, and Yami Gautam as Supriya, his wife. The story follows Rohan after Supriya is assaulted by a criminal gang. Though blind, Rohan uses his sharpened senses and patience to uncover the truth, track down the perpetrators, and pursue justice, culminating in a confrontation that tests his resolve and resourcefulness. The film blends romance with vigilante justice and explores themes of memory, trauma, and resilience.

Kaabil was released on 25 January 2017, coinciding with Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees, which led to a notable box-office clash between the two high-profile productions. Critics gave mixed to positive assessments, with praise directed at Hrithik Roshan’s performance and the film’s visual style and action sequences, while some reviews criticized the plot’s predictability and pacing. The movie performed well at the domestic box office and in international markets, and it was considered a commercial success given its budget and production scale.

The soundtrack and score were composed by Rajesh Roshan, helping to establish the film’s emotional and dramatic tones. Kaabil received attention for its stylized presentation and for featuring a physically demanding lead performance. It remains a notable entry in Hrithik Roshan’s filmography for its depiction of a blind protagonist navigating danger and seeking justice.
