Director's Desk

Some how the situation is different all around and this piece of action packed thriller is little outdated. After Drishyam I was expecting some unusual stuff from Mr. Nishikant Kamat but this usual storyline, loose script and even boring start made it very unreal.

John Abraham as Rocky Handsome is running pawnshop in Goa where he has made emotional attachment with a little cute girl Anna, in sudden kicked-up she got abducted by the drug mafia who is also running a racket of organ trade, propel ‘Handsome’ to save his soul partner just to fill his own loneliness, action begins in its very predictable way but one thing is slightly not that straight, there is some more story about this Rocky who was an undercover agent, trained brutally in various forms, which shows in some non-linier way but some questions were still not answered like what force him to hide in Goa if he is so competent…?

This film is a Korean remake, loosely weaving around the peddlers working in Goa, but the thing is it does not entertain me as expected from trailer. Although John Abraham silence makes me engaged more than what it promises as a full fledge action flick. He looks more Handsome than Rocky and this is where my expectation shakes.

Some of the deadly stunts are remarkable, but villain wasn’t convincing at all, A few cynical characters didn’t manage to hold, basically the force of protagonist destroyed them like torn papers. Director should have made it more complex den than this where one can expect some sudden thrill.

Go for John Abraham’s silence, which definitely rips you from inside…                        

I wasn’t expecting this much from this surprise package, it is like I am coming out from the long dusty atmosphere after a decade, my passing days were with those stupid movies where I continuously hammered myself to bleed. This film has kind of mercury effect, which pulls me out from the boring enigma. But I want to clear one thing, don’t expect anything overly vaporized, it has family mingle up thing including little spices churn and sincerely cooked.

A story of a suitable valedictory of a nasty old grandfather “Dadu” who is living in his own world to escape the family chaos, one day he is making fun of being dead and got heart attack, afterward his whole family is getting together, even his grand children who are pursuing their dreams on foreign soil, but they are not all innocent, they come with their own clouts and here the film begins with the multi labeled family drama but unlike the extravagant emotional coir. After Dadu’s  heart attack both his grandchildren joins him in small hilly place, one (Sidhrath Malhotra) is struggling with inferiority complex and second one (Fawad Khan) is a successful novelist and has brotherhood thing with small dark patches, Alia Bhatt is coincidence in their life which creates another layer to it  but all these multi-complex looking formula is literally turns into a endearing balance film, where nobody is acting other than the Director Shakun Batra, I am giving him full credit for making this film enticing.

It is a very long film but it has all the plots and platters which keeps us alive, music is not too good but its situational, there are some unrevealed plots also which appears time to time. As a Dadu (Rishi Kapoor) looks awesome, after Kamal Hassan he also holds his makeup so smartly. Even Ratna Pathak was amazing, Rajat Kapoor as a cranky father is natural.

This is a must watch film, Go ‘Bindaas’ and enjoy this family.
