Rocky Handsome

Whoaaa... ‪John Abraham has started a new era of action with ‪ROCKY HANDSOME. Watched the movie yesterday evening and seriously... Such action is for the first time in history of bollywood.

Even though the story is average, its very well executed and John's action has added flying colours to it. Its purely an action flick with amazing sequences of intense action. Director Nishikant Kamat has played villain in the movie. He has also acted very well. Last but not the least, the child actor Niomi on which the entire film revolves has acted brilliantly. Three cheers to her.

Do watch the movie but I suggest not to take your child with you for the movie. Also the movie is not for faint hearted. Please keep this in mind before going for the movie.

Yet to see 'the man from nowhere'. People are saying that the story is the same. There is in fact similarities in various scenes of this film to those Korean ones. The stunts look familiar if you have seen Raid 1 and 2.

Still, it is new for the Indian audience. I won't say that it is an innovative movie, because gone are the days when Indian audience was unaware of the cinema outside bollywood. So, its 'inspired', doesn't mean we cannot enjoy it. Noshikant Kamat's direction is really good. I would say, 'Mumbai meri Jaan' level good. Action scenes are well choreographed. The characters can be connected to, like John's and that cute little kid who has definitely done great in her first film. So yes, i think 7/10 is right for it.

"How far would you go to save the person closest to you" ?? A remake of a Korean film "Man From Nowhere, "Rocky Handsome" is a taut thriller that is going to keep you on the edge of seat without giving a chance to blink your eyes.

"Rocky Handsome" is a story of an unforgiving man who embarks on a journey to avenge when the only person he cares about is kidnapped and taken away from him.

From the director of "Force" (Hindi) and "Drishyam", Nishikant Kamat does a fabulous job in holding your attention right from the beginning till the end. The first half is pretty straight forward until the main drama unfolds when the kidnapping of little girl takes place. From here onward, the drama-thriller is full of well- executed action choreography with each scene giving you goosebumps. If the first half is a drama story, the second half is actual plot where the suspense begins to unfold with nail-biting moments and jaw-dropping scenes. The background fight scene during the song "Teri Toh Yaad Sataye" is one of the major highlight of the film. Even the climax scene has been well-executed.

On the flip side, the story is pretty average with nothing new to offer along with loose screenplay which could have been crispier. Action scenes is the highlight of the film and deserves brownie points for keeping you engaged. Editing is good. Cinematography capturing the dark underworld sequences appropriately. Art direction is nice. Songs are tuneful. Performance-wise, it is John Abraham all the way. Though his expressions are same throughout the film, he carries the film with his well-defined sculpted body and good performance. Nishant Kamat, first time as a actor, does well as villain. The child actor Divya Chalwad does justice to her role. Shruti Hassan is wasted in a special appearance.

Overall, "Rocky Handsome" is a treat for action film lovers. Well executed action sequences and death-defying stunts will keep you engaged. Good 3/5

This movie takes action to next level in Indian Film Industry.No over the top action scenes as is the case in Indian movies.It has one of the crispest and tight storytelling and direction in an Indian movie.There are songs that go along with the narration.This movie is 2 hours of adrenaline rush and must watch for action movie lovers.Nishikant has excellently juggled between the directors and the villain's hat.Nishikant's acting is amazing as a villain.A complete action movie with great story, nice songs, excellent acting, and direction. I would definitely recommend it.

The Action and the looks of John is probably the only reason you would want to watch the movie. The story is decent but the first 45 minutes of the movie is really gross and boring. The action is probably the only reason I gave this movie a 7 out of 10! I wouldn't recommend you guys to watch this movie if you are under the age of 14. Its just decent effort made. It has a lot of glory and brutal scenes but John Abraham's Action in the movie is what made me keep watching. Its a decent movie and a good time past. The story seems to be based on true events that happens in India but they could've used an more appropriate way to show this.
