Why do awful things happen to good God-fearing law-abiding tax-paying spouse-loving people?
Look! Just see that man’s face. Rohit loves his wife Suparna to death. Her death, as it happens to be. A moment so shocking in the film and filmed with such gruesome pathos that I found my hands going up to my mouth in sheer horror.
Noooooo!

Kaabil tells a very simple two-storeyed story. In the first opulentl y- romantic overture, Rohit is set up for a date with Suparna.

It was way back in 1994 when Naseeruddin Shah had taken Akshay Kumar as well as Suniel Shetty for a ride with his blind man act in Mohra. It had turned out to be a huge twist in the tale when as a businessman Jindal, Naseeruddin Shah had turned out to be a villain of the piece, instead of being a savor that he projected himself to be.
