Critic consensus

What critics from 11 publications are saying

Critics are largely dismissive of Blind Game, citing a screenplay weighed down by illogical twists, too many subplots, and characters that fail to earn audience investment. The film's atmospheric Himachal setting and its early intrigue drew passing acknowledgment, but reviewers found the promise quickly evaporates as the narrative grows incoherent and the final reveal feels unearned. Arjun Rampal and Priyamani were singled out as the sole performers who acquit themselves reasonably well in an otherwise poorly acted film. The consensus is that Blind Game wastes a functional whodunit setup through weak execution and a story that never finds its footing.

    Blind Game has a hard time keeping that mystery interesting. The biggest problem with Blind Game is its screenplay. There are too many subplots, unnecessary twists, and characters who seem to be hiding something, but the film gives you very little reason to care about them.

    Despite a near-perfect and gripping headstart, the movie soon starts to falter. However, the execution of the movie starts faltering as it nears its end. The plot starts getting predictable which leaves you feeling unsatisfied as a viewer.

    Unfortunately, this mystery has more twists than genuine thrills, as a promising premise gradually loses its grip. What begins as an intriguing mystery gradually becomes a predictable, bland thriller.

    Arjun Rampal and Priyamani play good cops in a bad thriller that streams free on Zee5 but is still overpriced

    Film review ·

    Blind Game is the sort of film that makes you understand why that reputation exists. This crime thriller has all the usual ingredients of a reasonably engaging whodunit, but what it doesn't have is a story that knows what to do with any of it. You are better off turning a blind eye to this one.

    Film review ·

    'Blind Game' puts all its eggs in one basket, hoping Rampal's swagger will compensate for the cohesiveness of plot. Sadly, much of the narrative and its characters are uninteresting at best and creepy at worst. There really isn't much to say about 'Blind Game'. It is simply bad, and not even particularly inventive about it.

    Film review ·

    Blind Game is a passionless, flat thriller blinded by its eccentric plot turns, with precious little going for it. Blind Game is an aimless thriller that frustrates the viewer with its helter skelter narration.

    The film is mostly poorly performed, with the exception of Arjun Rampal and Priyamani. A few of the twists are decent enough to justify the 113-minute length.
  9. The Hindu

    Film review ·

    For all its moody atmosphere and mysterious turns, 'Blind Game' lets its plot and characters drift into the mist of the Himachal hills. By the time the truth emerges, the emotional and logical threads have become so tangled that the final reveal feels like an arbitrary twist rather than an inevitable conclusion.

    Film review ·

    The movie brings together suspense, betrayal and a layered case without depending entirely on action, making it suitable for audiences who prefer mystery-driven entertainment.
