Kaabil for NDTV Movies, Saibal Chatterjee described the film as '
paisa vasool' and singled out its lead actor for praise: "
Hrithik Roshan delivers a convincing enough performance as a man who cannot see but whose faculties of smell and hearing are so phenomenally pronounced that he can don the garb of an infallible terminator without having to be a superhero blessed with special powers."
