Review:
Over all people have responded fairly positively to Khel Khel Mein. An interesting social setup accompanied by great acting and amusing portrayal of dramatic subject matter has been liked by the audience. People have described high appreciation of how it manages to bring comedy along with making people have something to think about in matters concerning trust and truthfulness in relationships.
Plus Points:
- Engaging Premise: The idea of disclosing secrets through a game is rather provocative and delivers the viewer’s interest till the end of the picture.
- Strong Performances: Akshay Kumar surely looks the part and along with that comes out with the amount of acting expected out of an artist in the comedy and drama category. Such is the case with Taapsee Pannu and Ammy Virk as well though they have something to do in the story, but they augment the issues on the plot line.
- Humour and Wit: It is thus possible to entertain the film as a comedy and at the same time as a movie that presents profound social issues. Some dialogues are cut and this supports the comedial feature within the film.
- Direction: Hats off to Mudassar Aziz for direction as he has to manage the star cast and has completed the movie, with no bothersome gaps or inconvenience, on a brisk shooting.
Minus Points:
- Predictable Plot Twists: Certain audiences may get rather bored over the twists because the storytelling format may be compared to one of the comedy films with ensemble casts.
- Character Development: In other words, the main characters are complex and integrated; however, some of them seem to be more or less two-dimensional, or Flat, as they have much less growth than might be anticipated.
- Pacing Issues: The flow of events in the movie, is somewhat errant, particularly in the second part of the film where a good number of scenes could have benefited from correct pacing.
Technical Aspects:
Khel Khel Mein boasts impressive technical elements that enhance the overall viewing experience:
- Cinematography: In the film, there carries out cinematography with spectacular colours, which creates the specific spirit of a wedding in the storyline.
- Editing: Mudassar Aziz’s editing makes sure that the comedic severity of the setting is intermingled with drama very well while the flow of the film is hardly interrupted; however, some rough patches are quite seen.
- Soundtrack: The music also fits the film as there are introduction songs and songs that make people sing along and boost the emotional progress of the movie.
Performance:
The performances in Khel Khel Mein are a significant highlight:
- Akshay Kumar: As Rishabh, Kumar supports the film with humour and excellent timing with occasional over-the-top dramatics. It’s possible to acknowledge the talent of the actor, or the ability to depict a real-life situation, when a man feels insecure in a marriage, in this case, an imperfect husband and father.
- Taapsee Pannu: Pannu is relatively exceptional in portraying the character of Harpreet adding a new vigour in depicting the pain and feeling of the character.
- Ammy Virk: Thanks to Virk, the audience witnesses how Harpreet tries to address his failed marriage amidst his troubles.
- Supporting Cast: Fardeen Khan and Aditya Seal deserve complements for their portions in the film But yes some of the cast playing supporting characters could have represented their parts more effectively.

I liked the comedy-drama movie, Khel Khel Mein. Akshay Kumar has done justice to Rishabh’s character and threw humour and Taapsee Pannu has also done justice to Happy character and shown the emotional and comical side as well. This was a Comedy-Drama because the idea of checking phone notifications with friends made us both laugh and reflect many times.
