Shome Makhjia’s Blind is a bland remake of the Tamil thriller Netrikann (2021) which, in turn, was based on the Korean film Blind (2011).

Gia Singh (Sonam Kapoor), a police officer in Scotland gets into a severe argument with her younger brother and Gia handcuffs him to the handle of the car.

An accident happens and Gia crashes on the road with great force. She loses her sight and he loses his life. She recovers but she has lodt her job also.

Meanwhile, several girls in the city go missing. One night, a stranger (Purab Kohli), disguised as a cab driver, offers to drop Gia home. She suspects the cab driver is behind the kidnapping of the girls.

Purab Kohli, as the serial killer surprises you big with his sadistic portrayal. The actor successfully transforms into a cold-blooded psychopath.

Entertainment

Vinay Pathak, the police officer helping Gia, is also in good form. He provides some much-needed lighter moments.

Entertainment

Sonam Kapoor makes a sincere effort, but her limited acting abilities are quite exposed here. The cat-and-mouse game between Sonam Kapoor and Purab Kohli is lacklustre.

Though Shome Makijha has been an assistant director for films like Sujoy Ghosh’s Kahaani (2012), it is clear that he has not learnt anything from those films.

Entertainment

Blind’s cat-and-mouse game falters despite the few strong performances.
