The film "Khel Khel Mein" is about a group of people who play a game during a wedding where everyone puts their smartphones face up on a table. Every message, call, and notification are shown to everyone, which can reveal hidden secrets.

One of the main characters is Rishabh Malik (played by Akshay Kumar), a cosmetic surgeon who is very good at lying. He is going to his wife Vartika’s sister’s wedding. Their marriage is in trouble, but it looks better compared to their friends, Happy and Harpreet. Happy is trying hard to make their marriage work, while Harpreet thinks he’s already done his part by just being there.

Also at the wedding are Samar and Naina, and a cricket coach who left his girlfriend at home. They all show up looking perfect, but things start to go wrong as their phone messages and calls come in.

The film uses this setup to explore secrets and lies. For example, finding someone else’s name in saved addresses on a food app can cause trouble. The movie mostly does well with this idea, showing how phones can expose hidden issues.

Akshay Kumar, known for his comedic roles, performs well in this film, bringing his humor to the screen. Taapsee Pannu and Ammy Virk give the best performances. Pannu shows strong acting skills, while Virk plays a husband who tries to fix his marriage but causes more problems.

Aditya Seal and Pragya Jaiswal also stand out, though Jaiswal’s acting can seem a bit amateurish at times. Vaani Kapoor's role is small but effective, and Fardeen Khan is the weakest part of the film.

While "Khel Khel Mein" tries to mix comedy with deeper themes, it doesn't fully succeed. The characters always get a chance to redeem themselves, which can make the story feel less genuine. Some dialogues feel childish, and although the film tries to balance humor with serious topics like loyalty and trust, it doesn’t always hit the mark.

The screenplay keeps the film engaging, but it could have been more impactful with a less predictable approach. Comparing it to "12th Man" by Jeethu Joseph, adding a bit of that film’s intensity might have made "Khel Khel Mein" more gripping.
