Sequel details
'Kaabil' was quite special
The original film was a performance-driven thriller that showcased Roshan's ability to blend vulnerability with intensity. With Yami Gautam Dhar starring as his wife, Roshan brought the daily struggles of blind people to the mainstream in modern Hindi cinema. And, the struggles aside, the narrative also showed us how non-blind people can fail to "see" a lot of things due to our privilege.
