Khel Khel Mein screening leaves fans roaring with laughter; early reviews call Akshay Kumar-starrer a ‘blockbuster’

After a special screening of Khel Khel Mein, a day ahead of release, netizens are showering love on the Akshay Kumar comedy.

When it was announced that Akshay Kumar is returning to comedy after five long years with Khel Khel Mein, fans were obviously excited. This is because of the actor’s magical connection with the genre. He never fails to make the audience laugh, whether it’s through his physical comedy in tragic situations or his impeccable comic timing and catchy one-liners. Some of the best examples from his comedy era include Garam Masala (2005) and Hera Pheri (2000). This also meant that Khel Khel Mein had giant shoes to fill, which was a challenge. But according to early reviews, Akshay’s latest comedy has exceeded all expectations.

A special screening of Khel Khel Mein was held today on August 14, a day before the film’s release. Well, Akshay and his ensemble star cast have received rave reviews from the audience, especially one scene starring the superstar along with Taapsee Pannu and her onscreen husband Ammy Virk. For instance, one social media user tweeted: “#KhelKhelMein : BLOCKBUSTER. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ #KhelKhelMeinReview is LOTS of FUN..it’s funny and heartwarming!
