She commits suicide and Rohan pledges to avenge her death. Released on 25th January 2017, along with Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Raees, Kaabil managed to rake in Rs. 205 crore on domestic as well as international box office.

The critical reception of the movie was quite impressive as well. Many of the critics called this movie ‘gripping’ and an endearing tale of courage and revenge. Hrithik Roshan’s performance as a blind and vengeful man was lauded by the critics across the country.
