Blind Game Story
Arjun Rampal plays Sikander, a police officer who has just been suspended. Off duty and out of options, he gets pulled into a case involving a large sum of missing cash. What looks like a simple hunt for stolen money quickly turns into a maze of lies, double-crosses and crime, where he can’t be sure who’s playing whom.
To get to the truth, Sikander ends up working uneasily alongside a young informer (Rohit Chandel) and a journalist (Priyamani), each with their own reasons for wanting answers. Like the original, the film is built around twists, so it’s best watched knowing as little as possible.

Is Blind Game a Remake?
Yes. It’s adapted from 7th Day, a 2014 Malayalam mystery thriller starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, which was praised for its twist-heavy screenplay. Director Sangeeth Sivan, best known for Yodha and the Kya Kool Hain Hum films, wrote and directed the Hindi version.
It’s the second Malayalam thriller remake to land on streaming this week, after Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan’s Haiwaan on SonyLIV.
Should You Watch Blind Game?
- Watch it if you like twisty crime mysteries, Arjun Rampal in intense cop mode, or simply want a free thriller for the long weekend.
- Skip it if you’ve seen 7th Day recently, since the big reveals will be familiar.
- Good to know: because it’s on Free 5, expect ad breaks during the film.
