Blind (7 Jul 2033)

Genre: Crime, Thriller

Channel: JioCinema

Director: Shome Makhija

Cast: Sonam Ahuja Kapoor, Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak, Lillete Dubey, Shubham Saraf

Duration: 124 minutes

Plot:

Gia Singh (Sonam Kapoor Ahuja), a blind ex-cop escapes the clutches of The Driver (Purab Kohli), a sadistic kidnapper, tormentor & killer, by narrow margin and finally brings him to justice

A policeman (Vinay Pathak) and an eye witness (Shubham Saraf) help her in her endeavor.

Analysis:

- Sonam Kapoor Ahuja has good presence as a scrubbed clean, lean and tall protagonist. Her acting is mediocre.

- Purab Kohli has managed to scratch the surface of appearing & acting villainous. But still he has a long way to go.

- The movie is half baked leaving a lot to your imagination and ponder!!

You are left with questions like -

Exactly what past experiences made The Driver a psychopath kidnapper and killer? 

Exactly how does he tortures the kidnapped girls?

Why Gia Singh never shows any warmth or gratitude to the orphanage head (Lilette Dubey) who brought her up like a daughter and still cares like one?

Why Gia Singh is a bit too much sarcastic about God?

How a blind and jobless Gia Singh affords a big squeaky clean apartment and a dog?

When the setting is of Glasgow in UK, how come all the concerned characters are Indian - the victim, the villain, the witness and even the cop!!

Overall, it's an average movie.
