Kaabil screening: B'wood in love with revenge saga, Hrithik gets rave reviews

Mumbai: If you were to tell someone that Hrithik Roshan's 'Kaabil,' had an upper hand over Shah Rukh Khan's 'Raees' going into its January 25 clash, they would rightfully have laughed it off.

However, a day into its screening, the industry can't stop lauding the revenge saga.

'Raees,' might still have the better opening courtesy its massive hype, but Hrithik Roshan might finally have overcome his hit drought.

If insiders are to go by, the film is his best performance till date and is all set to be a blockbuster.

“It’s fantastic and Hrithik Roshan is brilliant. It’ll be a huge hit. Yami is good, Sanjay Gupta’s work is very nice, Ronit Roy is excellent, but it’s ultimately Hrithik’s film and he’s unbelievable .It’s his best film till date," an immensely impressed Shabana Azmi told reporters, post the screening.

Sussanne Khan, Hrithik's ex-wife was also quite vocal about her favourable thoughts on the film.

"The film is unbelievable! It's one of the best films ever .You'll go mad if you see it," she said elatedly.

Sussanne also took to Twitter to appreciate his efforts on the film.

Bollywood biggies also took to Twitter to sing laurels of the film and its crew.

Here are a few of the tweets:

We can barely wait for the film's release now.

Helmed by Sanjay Gupta, 'Kaabil' stars Yami Gautam, Ronit Roy and Rohit Roy apart from Hrithik.
