Whole movie is Just good. but fighting scenes are really awesome. actually I never show such scenes in any Bollywood movie. most IMP is they look damn real. John did awesome job. I just wished if they have worked little more on this movie, this could have been PERFECT movie.
+ Points :-
+ Action Scense + That Shruti Scene + Story + 2 Hour Movie + Only 2 Songs + Dark & Brutal
I recommended to watch this one. Its better than Airlift and BVS.

Not many may know that Nishikant Kamat is a very well trained theatre actor.
You will love Nishikant's in his role. It was such a joy to watch him turn into this evil character. Another actor was supposed to play that role. Just two days before the shooting that actor opted out. Nishikant had to step in by default. And what a mind blowing performance he has given!
Overall movie is very nice that is why i have given 8 out of 10. But I am really very very impressed with the acting of Director Nishikant Kamat. He is genius, his impressions oh my god amazing. I love to watch him again and again, will wait for his next Act.

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.
"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

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.
