Rocky Handsome (2016)

It's easy calling it Indian "John Wick" , but try it for what it is...

[7/10 · 18 August 2020]

Please watch movie for what it is nothing more or less, An action movie. John carries the movie on his own and deserves all appreciation for the efforts he gave in. He knows his strengths and that shows throughout the movie. His expressions, his grit, his pain, his perseverance were spot on. People bashing on the movie for being a remake and copying John wicks style are the same who watch same Bollywood remade dish from Salman or similar actors and make them 200-300 crore movies and never point a finger. Direction and supporting cast are nothing out of ordinary. Visuals are dark and grimy but the need for movie. Music is great and some songs will stay with you even after you finish the movie especially "Aye Khuda" by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan with brilliant acting portrayed by lead actor. Some unnecessary plot stretching scenes could have been cut , and antagonist being director himself couldn't provide scary presence of being who he is. But story arc provided the necessary buildup for John Abraham's character and gives us a beautifully choreographed climax fight sequence which is nothing short of brilliant from John. I really recommend you watching it once and see the effort put forward by John alone. He deserves admiration and it's way past due.
