What if for one night your mobile phone was a public property? 7 friends at a wedding after-party decide to play a seemingly harmless but as it turns out, a dangerous game which might have earth-shattering consequences with relationships, marriages and identities being at stake.
Critic Consensus
Critical reception for Khel Khel Mein is mildly positive, with most reviewers finding it a watchable, clean ensemble comedy. Akshay Kumar's comedic performance and the film's handling of relationship themes through smart, non-crude writing drew the most consistent praise across reviews. The most common criticism targets the second half, which several critics found sluggish, over-explanatory, or tonally uneven. Overall, the film is seen as a decent theatrical experience rather than a standout comedy.

Updated“A little more of the some-men-will never-change just like leopards and their spots would have made this Akshay Kumar-Taapsee Pannu film a no-holds-barred banger. The length of the movie makes things sag in bits, especially in the second half, and some of the 'reveals' aren't that madly interesting either.”Read full review ↗
“You can definitely give it a watch as it marks Akshay's return to comedy five years after Housefull 4. He's the glue that holds everything in the setting together despite being caught in an unhappy marriage. By the end of it, Khel Khel Mein becomes a film about acceptance and subtly makes a statement on how there's no right and wrong when it comes to relationships.”Read full review ↗
“...a game of love, trust and betrayal. While the film takes its own sweet time to bloom, it is a clean comedy that doesn't rely on double-meaning one-liners.”Read full review ↗
“Khel Khel Mein has minor flaws, but its smart writing, tight direction, and performances make it worth a watch, especially with a bunch of friends. However, if you get too inspired by this game, do it at your own risk!”Read full review ↗
“Akshay Kumar's comeback to comedy balances relationship sensitivity and humour effectively, delivering a film that manages to entertain while maintaining emotional depth.”Read full review ↗
“The chemistry between the motley bunch of actors works in fits and starts but Akshay Kumar's gift of the gab, Taapsee's bumbling comedienne and Fardeen Khan's dry wit come out tops. Khel Khel Mein's appeal lies in its frivolous worldview. It's only when the movie overexplains its actions and its 'parda mein rehne do' maxim, it's not fun and games anymore.”Read full review ↗
“The film is sadly undone by its second half that suffers from what can be best described as the Mood Swing syndrome. Only people with massive mood swings can relate to the jitteriness of the film's narrative”Read full review ↗
“Infidelity, infertility, inclusivity- when was the last time that a film, err, a comedy film handled all these themes well? It's always a tricky territory when making a comedy film.”Read full review ↗
