Rocky Handsome

Cast: John Abraham, Diya Chalwad(Naomi), Nishikant Kamat(Kevin), Sharad Kelkar(Cop), Nathalia Kaur(Anna), Teddy Maurya(Luke) and Shruti Haasan(Wife)
Director: Nishikant Kamat
Genre: Action, Crime, Drama



A dark experimental dart which missed its target! Not worth a watch for any audience. You may still take your chances for the lead actor!




You may look forward to:

• John Abraham looks in great shape. His tough and serious looks have always been preferred more over his comic attempts. Action more suited than dancing around heroines. He is every inch a rock solid John Abraham apt for this kind of role. The final action scenes were delivered amazingly well by him and that's about it
• Nathalia Kaur gives a raunchy dance number, entertaining enough, although not many scenes to deliver

What you can sleep over:

• Music of the movie were not bad to the ears but were very ill placed. They even tried to revive the old number from 'Bombay Rockers' - 'Rock the Party' with a fresh look, but that song turns out to be an irritation over entertainment specially cos of its choreography
• Drama around the child actress 'Naomi' played by Diya Chalwad is way too much. The look of the film is very dark and gory, where childish emotion are again a misfit
• Nishikant Kamat ran some experiments by playin the lead villain 'Kevin' all by himself, but did not really go too well
• Sharad Kelkar has a good personality and suits the role of a stringent cop, but Alas! he didn't have much meat to his role to perform. He is under utilized
• Shruti Haasan is wasted, just one promotional song, in which she does look good

The dampeners you should be aware of: 

• This movie fails because it does justice to no angle completely. Lot of sensational action poses but very few good action scenes. Very dark and gory outlook but hardly any thrilling scenes. To top it emotional drama around the small girl is a big dampener. Nishikant Kamat forgets that this film he made is not helping in pulling either side of the crowd. Not family neither hard core action lovers, nor fans of dark movies. The plot of the film feels so forced and incomplete that you hardly enjoy it. Thanks to John Abraham, that i could sit through the end of the film, but i yet wonder why would John Abraham produce for such films. He some times likes to play around equivalent to his 'No Smoking' days
• Teddy Maurya tried his best to look ferocious, but Alas! he looks more of a cartoon than a villain and pretty irritating at times

My Rating: 2.5/5 (Only for John Abraham)

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Cast: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams(Lois), Jesse Eisenberg(Lex), Gal Gadot(Wonder Woman), Diane Lane(Martha), Laurence Fishburne(Perry White),Jeremy Irons(Alfred) and Holly Hunter(Senator)
Director: Zack Snyder
Genre: Action, Fantasy



Have the expectation at a minimal and you wont be disappointed!




You may look forward to:

• Ben Affleck is convincing enough as The Batman. The transition from Christian Bale to Ben Affleck didn't affect much. His appearance is taller, with a good built and a serious personality gives him that edge. His face off with Superman as well looks good
• This film is more about Superman than The Batman. Henry Cavill has his role written well and justified. His questionable appearance on earth and imminent threat covered sensibly by the script. The way he is framed to look more of a threat than a saviour is also written and presented well. I love the way Henry carries himself as The Superman. His charming and a no non sense attitude, makes him appear like a coveted and desirable personality onscreen
• Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne,Jeremy Irons and Holly Hunter have their fair share of supporting roles

What you can sleep over:

• Amy Adams is the new age woman with a super human character who just doesn't lay around as a lady love but as well attempts to add value to the story. However, she did not have much content to her credit in this film as compared to 'Man of Steel'
• Jesse Eisenberg doesn't look so threatening a villain as he should have been. He is just about fine. Most of the times he speaks gibberish, adding no value and other times his ulterior motive behind bringing about destruction to his own planet is never clearly understood
• Gal Gadot's appearance as the 'Wonder Woman' kills the very essence of a Batman movie in which the characters are more of this world than pure fantasy

The dampeners you should be aware of: 

What works adverse for the film is its not so strong story line. The build up of the film is actually good. What screws the quality of the film around the hype is the Bollywood style ending in which two powerful men at the peak of their combat, shake hands suddenly out of one common thread- Mother. From so much build up to a sudden fizz, it just didn't go well. On that the added masala of a 'Wonder Woman' and the weird monster creation and not so impactful villain, looked so cliche, must have killed the expectations of the audience. Second half of the film had a lot of potential, not utilized





My Rating: 3/5
