A corrupt multimillionaire industrialist businessman, Dev Mallya, takes a personal interest in an attractive interior designer, Saanjh Batra, and wants to marry her. He starts by hiring her to redo the interior of his palatial home. He makes it a point to be pleasant to her and her mom, Mrs. Kiran Batra. One day, Dev Mallya finds out that Saanjh has some feelings for his friend, Rohan Potdar, and this knowledge makes him insecure. Shortly after, Rohan is arrested for murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. This news breaks Saanjh's heart, and she eventually consents to marry Dev Mallya. All is perfect in Dev's world, until Assistant Commissioner of Police Officer Rajveer Scindia announces the re-opening of the case against Rohan Potdar, as he is convinced that Rohan is the victim of a conspiracy.

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 2 stars out of 5, writing ″On the whole, KHEL is a fair entertainer its target audience being the masses, not critics or multiplex-going audience. At the box-office, the holiday period will help the film take a good start and eventually, it will find patronage in the interiors.″[5] Anjum N of Rediff.com wrote ″Editor-turned-director Yusuf Khan does a fair job, but is handicapped by a story that has no suspense, twists or unpredictable, manipulative characters. But, having written the story himself, he cannot blame anyone else if his 'ultimate game' fails to take off.″[6] Manish Gajjar of BBC.com wrote ″In this film, we see Suniel Shetty playing a different character. Its nice to see him in a subdued nature as compared to his usual macho rambo self. Sunny Deol and Ajay Devgan are their usual selves whilst Ajay Jedeja gives a natural performance considering that he is a newcomer. Overall Khel is good escapist cinema which will appeal to the younger generation.″[7]
