Khel Khel Mein trailer review: Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, and more in a night of comic chaos

The trailer for Khel Khel Mein is out less than two weeks before the film's release. The comedy film features an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Ammy Virk, Taapsee Pannu, Vani Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Aditya Seal, and Pragya Jaiswal. The trailer sets the film against the backdrop of a single night, in which the fates of three couples and their "single friend" change over time.

Khel Khel Mein plot overview

In the trailer, we see three married couples, Akshay and Vaani, Taapsee and Ammy, Aditya and Pragya, who don't believe in honesty in marriage. The film seems to show how infidelity kicks in in their marriages, and how the spouses cheat on each other like it's no big deal. Over the course of a night, they decide to play a game that turns each of their phones into public property, requiring them to open and answer every message and call in front of the entire group. As a result, the game exposes each character's secrets, making them more vulnerable. The characters do it all, from slaps to threats of jumping off the building.

The trailer is three minutes and eight seconds long, and earlier while talking about it, a source told Pinkvilla, "It’s an entertaining trailer, giving an insight into the mad world of this comic caper. It’s loaded with gags and unfolds the core plot of this film for the first time for the viewers."

Mudassar Aziz has directed Khel Khel Mein, and he also penned the dialogues for the film. The filmmaker co-wrote the screenplay with Sara Bodinar.
