Blind Movie Review: Sonam Kapoor's Thriller 'Blind' Falls Short of Thrill and Spark: A Comprehensive Review

Blind Movie Review: The latest thriller starring Sonam Kapoor, 'Blind', directed by Shome Makhija, now airs on Jio Cinema. The film features not only Sonam Kapoor but also noteworthy actors Purab Kohli and Vinay Pathak. This cinematic piece, which is a remake of a renowned Korean film carrying the same name, disappointingly misses the essence of a thriller: the element of thrill.

Plot Unravelled: 'Blind' Reveals a Tale of Courage and Investigation

The storyline revolves around Gia Singh, portrayed by Sonam Kapoor, a former police officer in Scotland who tragically loses her vision in a car crash. Despite her disability, Gia persists in her attempts to return to the police force, but is repeatedly denied. Concurrently, a series of abductions occur in the city, which Gia eventually links to a suspicious cab driver. The narrative unfolds around Gia's determined pursuit of this possible kidnapper.

Production Highlights and Performance Lows in 'Blind'

Despite the absence of thrill, the film scores some points for its staging and production design. Certain sequences, like a chase involving Purab Kohli's character, are adeptly executed. However, Sonam Kapoor's performance as a blind character, while commendable in terms of her commitment to embodying the role, lacks the necessary vitality to carry the film. The critical interactions in the film, such as the phone conversation with the antagonist, feel significantly underwhelming.

Supporting Actors Outshine the Lead in 'Blind'

While Kapoor's performance leaves the audience wanting, the film benefits from engaging performances from the supporting cast. Vinay Pathak adds a dash of humour to the otherwise lacklustre film. Purab Kohli's portrayal of a cold-blooded psychopath also deserves mention for its compelling presentation.

In conclusion, 'Blind', despite its ambitious plot and talented cast, falls short in delivering the adrenaline rush that viewers expect from a thriller. This cinematic adaptation of a well-received Korean thriller, disappointingly, fails to replicate the success of its original counterpart. 'Blind' is currently streaming on Jio Cinema for viewers to judge for themselves.
