Blind

Film Review: Blind streaming on Jio Cinema

#sanjuzzreviews #JioCinema #Blind2023 #SonamKapoorAhuja #VinayPathak Remake of a Korean film, Blind tells the story of a feisty police officer from Glasgow, Scotland ( Sonam Kapoor) who is blinded in an accident. She is fiercely independent and doesn't want her disability to hold her back . This is when a serial killer enters her life and starts stalking her. Will our blind protagonist come out a winner is what this film is all about.

A female protagonist with a disability stalked by a serial killer looks like an interesting subject for an engaging suspense thriller. However this isn't the case!!

Purab Kohli as the serial killer ( i am not giving up the suspense, this is revealed at the start itself) doesn't send a chill down ur spine like Aashutosh Rana in Dushman or a Prashant Narayanan in Murder 2 have shown in the past. He is quite insipid and has tried to put out his best serious, gaunt look. Unfortunately neither convincing, nor scary!!

Sonam Kapoor does well in her role and so does Vinay Pathak as a Police officer assisting her in the case!!

Not a bad film... yet it felt as if something was missing in it- jumpscare moments, element of surprise, suspense & tension were very few!!

Cudve definitely been better!! One time watch if u like Sonam Kapoor!!

Going with 2.5/5 .. Adios🙂!!

"Blind" is a movie that unfortunately fails to showcase the acting talents of Sonam Kapoor, bcz she has none. Kapoor's performance in the film is disappointing, lacking depth and conviction. Her portrayal of a visually impaired character comes across as superficial and unconvincing, leaving the audience disconnected from the story. Kapoor's inability to effectively convey the emotions and struggles of her character hampers the overall impact of the film. It is evident that her lack of acting skills becomes a hindrance, making it difficult to engage with the narrative. "Blind" ultimately falls short in delivering a compelling performance from Kapoor, leaving us unsatisfied and unimpressed.

Now, sonam kapoor is getting so low that she is buying votes to increase the rating. What a shame.

Anwar Says: Casting Bay is a true company which chooses the right person for right character of a movie and the perfect example is this remake of a Korean movie of the same name. But in spite of the perfect cast film fells down. Could have been a perfect comeback for Sonam Kapoor but long drawn scenes and predictable every next sequence made it a boring one.

Purab Kohli, as I have said, was a perfect choice for villain but if director Shome Makhija couldn't exploit him , it's not his fault. Newcomer Shivam Saraf impresses in his limited screen presence. Vinay Pathak concentrated more on eating than playing an investigating cop. I really pity for Sonam Kapoor.

Adaptation allows plenty of room for improvisation but if the Caption of the Ship decides to use the same old methods of sailing and sink the boat,it would never find the bank of the sea. Watch it only if you have nothing else to do.

Blind review :

Another week in Bollywood with yet another senseless remake; Blind is adapted from a South Korean thriller and premiered directly on JioCinema this friday. Wise call by the makers I would say, as this movie wouldn't have lasted one day in theatres. No kidding!!

A serial killer (Purab Kohli) is on the loose and only one blind (ex) cop (Sonam Kapoor) has interacted with him once. How this lady manages to nab the dangerous criminal forms the crux of this lethargic and yawn inducing screenplay.

Sonam Kapoor as the main lead, is a disaster yet again proving her supremely untalented acting skills. This movie needed a Vidya Balan, boss!! Purab Kohli fails to scare in a negative role of the psychopath doctor. Vinay Pathak is just about okey dokey as the investigating cop.

Most of the film's dialogues are in English and the few Hindi ones suck big time. The foreign locales add zero value to the plot and I wonder why the movie couldn't be based in our own swadesh!!

Unsolicited suggestion: Act blind as well as deaf if anyone recommends you this tripe. You will do yourself a big favour!!

The film lacked a compelling narrative, with an absence of a coherent backstory for the antagonist. Moreover the characters in the movie (excluding the protagonist) hardly had any personality or story. The plot fixated on the life of the protagonist (Sonam Kapoor) and started off well, 50 minutes into the film the story lacked connect to the rest of the film. The movie suffered from a lack of cohesion, leaving several gaps in its overall storytelling. Moreover, the casting and acting didn't make the movie any better, failing to enhance the quality of the film. I truly can't believe how the movie has a 8.3 rating on this platform, given how horrible it was.
