Khel Khel Mein is a fairly entertaining movie with decent performances and some really funny situations and dialogs. It is an official remake of a 2016 Italian movie called Perfect Strangers, a movie never released in India or available on streaming and one that has been remade more than 25 times across the globe. However the online trend of hate towards remakes in Bollywood and Akshay Kumar prejudges and ignores the quality of movies.....talk about judging a book by its cover.
Akshay Kumar shows several glimpses of his brilliant comic timing of his earlier years and does an overall great job in the movie. Vaani Kapoor looks and acts her part. Fardeen Khan gives a pretty decent, emotional and honest performance. His dialog delivery has improved a lot from his earlier years but still has some hints of what is misperceived as wooden and amateurish because of his accent. Ammy Virk and Taapsee Panu are hilarious as the 2 Harpreets and land some of the funniest lines of the movie. Aditya Seal and Pragya Jaiswal also do a decent job in their respect roles. The actors are well cast and do a pretty good job.
The story has been well adapted for India with witty dialogs and good direction. It is also fun to spot the celebrities who voice the phone calls that the characters receive in the movie. The movie is fast paced but the songs are a distraction from the fun and were not really needed. The second half of the movie is not as interesting and fun as the first half but still pretty engaging and watchable. Khel Khel Mein is a funny and entertaining movie that is worth enjoying with the family. 7/10.
