Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam starer Kaabil tells a tale of a blind couple happily married who ends up fighting a heinous crime attempted by local Don and his goons. The movie collection is definitely going to gear up after the rave reviews from all the sides. Taking the acting skills a niche above, the film managed to occupy near about 92% of the total screen of 2300 distributed across the globe.
