Blind Game: Illogical Thriller Fails to Impress

Sangeeth Sivan's "Blind Game" is a thriller that begins with promise but quickly deteriorates due to its illogical script and poorly conceived plot devices. The story follows Sikander, a suspended cop investigating the suspicious death of a young man, Vicky, who was involved with friends in a Manali cafe.

The film's screenplay is criticized for being pacy yet lacking any sense of reason. Puzzling elements include a cafe in freezing Manali featuring a swimming pool and a perplexing attempt to fake a death by using an unclaimed body, complete with attempts to swap hair and nail samples.

Despite a strong effort from lead actor Arjun Rampal and a commendable performance by Priyamani, the film's fundamental flaws in writing leave the director with little to salvage. The narrative's twists and turns are unconvincing, and several plot developments, such as Shaan's lack of police protection despite a threat to his life, defy logic.

Technically, the film offers some highlights, with Deep Sawant's cinematography beautifully capturing the Manali locales and Ali Abbas Moghul's action sequences being entertaining. However, Ved Sharma's music is largely forgettable. Ultimately, "Blind Game" is a disappointing thriller that succumbs to its illogical script and an inability to create genuinely engaging twists.
