Rocky Handsome: Slow and a failed attempt

Director: Nishikant Kamat;Cast: John Abraham, Shruti Haasan, Nishikant Kamat, Sharad Kelkar, Teddy Maurya and Uday Tikekar.Rating: ** 1/2 (Two and a half star)



The Indian adaptation of a Korean film 'The Man From Nowhere' made back in 2010, Rocky Handsome was a total disappointment!

The first half hour the director tried to establish a story

Story: The film story revolves around a man, Kabir Ahlawat (John Abraham) who goes on a rampage when a drug mafia kidnaps his only hope to live, a sever year old girl played by 'Diya Chalwad.'

The whole movie is shot in Goa.

About the actors:

All the action sequences by John Abraham were fantastic! Especially hand to hand combat!

You'll definitely love watching him beating all the villain guys but...but you can see maximum 10 expressions by John!

If you are a John Abraham fan then this is the movie to test how big fan you are!

'Diya Chalwad' did great at such a young age! Appreciable but somewhere I felt 'it’s overacting!'

Nishikant Kamat, what to say!

He plays a character named Kevin in the movie. He kills people and removes every organ which can be sold in the market. Typical Bollywood villain, 90s background music and for the first time 'Konkani Villain.'

Kamat tried his best to get into the skin of the character and in this attempt he overdid it! 

Teddy Maurya who plays Nishikant Kamat's brother is a maniac and nothing more to say!

Sharad Kelkar who is playing a cop was a good addition to the movie and worth mentioning!

All the supporting characters were from Marathi film industry made the movie watchable.

Shruti Haasan!

Well every man has a past and here John's past was Rukshida (Shruti Haasan). After her death in an accident John isolates himself from everything.

Overall:

Nishikant tried to take us in a dark world where human bodies, organs and life are treated just as a product. But it didn't conveyed things the way it should.

A sad moment and it starts raining! Seriously? Well, that's there in the movie!

The songs were good but unnecessary and it looked like they were used as fillers, except the last one!

The biggest blunder of Rocky Handsome that it tried to give its lead character an emotional and patriotic back story!


Rating: ** 1/2 (Two and a half star)

Wow! This has to be the most depressing review that I have ever read on IF, because I can't for the life of me figure out how it was even put up!!



Like really IF?!


You actually pay people who write like that? I have read better descriptions of stupid episodes of the awful shows that have taken over Indian television than this.


Sorry for being so rude but this person doesn't seem to need a job as much as classes in English and the usage of correct grammar :|

There are many grammatical errors.

Good review, but grammar can be better.

Please hire an editor, or get a journo who actually CAN write. Those of us in BollyCurry who work for you for free actually write so much better than this stuff you pay for.
