Khel Khel Mein

I went into Khel Khel Mein with zero expectations, especially since it didn't do well at the box office. But after watching it on Netflix, I was pleasantly surprised! This movie is solid entertainment from start to finish, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fardeen Khan's comeback after so many years was a big surprise-he did a really good job. All the cast had their moments, but Akshay Kumar totally stole the show! His comic timing was perfect, and he really brought the film to life.

The story was engaging and kept me hooked, but if I had to nitpick, I'd say the songs could've been better. They were just okay, nothing special. Still, that didn't take away from the overall fun experience of the film.

If you're looking for a light-hearted, entertaining watch, Khel Khel Mein is a great pick. I'm giving it 8 stars because it really exceeded my expectations!

A Spanish movie Perfect Strangers has been remade in multiple languages, and now comes another remake in Hindi. With zero expectations, Stree 2 released on same day and already knowing the story, I skipped this one in theaters. Having watched it now, I can say I made the right choice.

A group of close friends meets for a wedding and decides to play a game: they must surrender their mobile phones, unlocked, on the table for the night. Any messages, emails, or calls they receive must be read out loud, revealing a Pandora's box of everyone's secrets.

The novelty of the story is lost, as it's such a well-known premise. What remains is the execution. Credit to the makers for attempting to Indianize the content and make it more relatable, but there are many loopholes that can't be overlooked. Strangely, in this version, everyone seems to have an extramarital affair, and the makers couldn't think of any other secret to make things interesting.

Akshay Kumar leads this ensemble cast. He fits the role and delivers a convincing performance. Amusingly, the filmmakers keep reminding us that Akshay is playing his age, offering random justifications to ensure no one questions it. Vaani Kapoor, as his wife, is decent. Taapsee Pannu gets the most interesting character, and she delivers for the most part. Ammy Virk, Aditya Seal, and Pragya Jaiswal are strictly okay, while Fardeen Khan struggles the most, barely managing to perform, reminding us that a famous surname can help revive a career.

The songs are below average and only add to the runtime. The climax is highly clichéd and underwhelming. The group of supposed friends lacks chemistry, making it hard to connect with them. Visually, the film is appealing with its gloss and glamour. The movie touches on important themes like sexual acceptance, but that's as far as it goes. In the end, it feels like the Hindi saying "Raat gayi, baat gayi" - no one seems to care about what transpired by the time the film ends.

Overall, it's a below-average movie with a beautiful cast and good production design. There are a few funny dialogues to make you chuckle, and since it's on OTT with a short runtime, it can be watched on a lazy afternoon.

Finally, something good to watch, with just the right mix of tension and humor.

I'm not usually a fan of Indian multi-starrer movies, as they often rely on cheap, vulgar jokes. However, this one was different, the blend, the mixture, the cocktail of elements came together perfectly.

That said, mixing friends with family can often lead to disaster, and the movie revolves around these messy situations, but with plenty of laughs along the way.

Akshay Kumar delivers a solid performance with his signature comic timing, after a series of flops.

This movie is a must-watch for the guys, but a word of advice: watch it alone. And if your significant other has seen it too, maybe clean your phone just in case they get any bright ideas!

Khel Khel Mein brings a clever and intriguing concept to the table-quite literally. A group of friends decides to put their phones on the table, and any messages or calls they receive must be shared openly with everyone. What begins as a fun game quickly turns into a rollercoaster of emotions, with lighthearted moments, laughter, secrets unveiled, and conflicts sparked.

While the setup is promising and creates moments of genuine humor and tension, the plot itself struggles to maintain the same level of intrigue. The storyline feels thin and could have been more dynamic and layered. After a point, the movie starts to become predictable, and the twists no longer have the impact they initially promise.

Tapsee delivers a good performance. Her chemistry with Amy Virk brings some of the film's more compelling scenes to life. There are even some glimpses of vintage Akshay Kumar, reminiscent of his charismatic earlier roles.

It's an entertaining watch in parts, but it doesn't fully live up to its potential, I wish the story was more gripping.

Finally something sensible and well made movie. The best part about the movie was the moment there was a drop in excitement. Something else comes up and makes it more interesting it's not just one closed room drama. Continue was good casting was perfect. In the storyline made sense interconnections and changing times all presented very well. It reminded me of some previous movies like table number 11 and Chitkabrey. Notl connections were low, but this movie is about to pick up again. It's in Number but for sure going to be big on OTT. Me so one time we met can be seen again with a different friends anytime.
