SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
mohitsaraf62 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.
Crazy_Cracker17 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 & BrutalPointsLittle boring after start - Not so good dialogs/speech - One of the villain's Stupid & over Acting - Death of main Villain was not as it should beI recommended to watch this one. Its better than Airlift and BVS.
muvi-fan-73 Rocky handsome is remake of South Korean movie 'The man from nowhere'. I being a big fan of the original and physique of John Abraham, was looking forward for this bollywood version.Cons: Locations at which the shooting of movie takes place do not comply with the level and richness of drug lords. Acting is okay except for the girl and girl's mom.Pros: Action is good given that our hero is expert in only upper body movements.I liked the character of hero and the villain's associate who saves girls eyes, although the original were much better. There is a scene where hero is referred as girl's dad by an old shopkeeper it took me Indian version to understand that.Rating : 6.5/10.
Jasrick Johal Rocky Handsome brings together the combo of John Abraham and Nishikant Kamat after there last hit action film Force which released in 2011. Nishikant Kamat has now become the remake king with films like Force, Drishyam, and now Rocky Handsome all being remakes of hit films. And rightful so he is the remake king, because as they say why mess up formula you have perfected. John Abraham has also now molded himself into a action hero of sorts, and literally resembles a dumbbell (with his huge monstrous physique) if you ask me, so with Rocky Handsome both filmmaker, and actor are in familiar terrain. However the real the question is that, is the film successful in its endeavor of making a emotional high octane action drama, that the trailer so highly portrays. Well if your looking for some kick ass action, and don't mind shedding a tear or two then, then this film is for you, just don't go into the film seeking intelligence, and I will explain this analysis in a in depth review further.Story wise the film revolves around Kabir Ahlawat/Rocky Handsome who sets out to take revenge against Goa's drug mafia after they kidnapped an eight-year old girl who is his neighbor with whom he shares a special bond. Who is Rocky Handsome whats his past, and does he save the girl forms the rest of films crux.Acting wise John Abraham is the soul of the film, and while he doesn't have much acting to do ( he literally mouths two lines in the film) he does display some awe inspiring, hair raising action. The training he went through to master certain fighting styles is truly applaud worthy. Nishikant Kamat the films director debuts as the films villain, and he totally kills his role. His menacing, crazy act is totally believable and he never once hits that over acting note (unlike his brother in the film). A great debut indeed. The little girl Diya Chalwad is cute, but her act feels fake at times, but she does a adequate job.Rocky Handsome's story is so average, and its screenplay is so full of loopholes that one might think the film is bad, but the films director Nishikant Kamat makes sure that despite, all the shortcomings, that Rocky Handsome is still a good film, and honestly its a film I personally couldn't despise. However I do wonder could they not have found a better story to remake. The films loopholes do warrant that at times the viewers should just switch of there brain and just enjoy the proceedings.For example why do gangsters carry around axes instead of guns at a club, and in the climax where does the girl magically appear from, and how does the Thai body guard turn good all of the sudden, scenes like these did leave me dumbfounded at times. But all was forgiven.This is because Rocky Handsome never bores for a single moment, and doesn't really let its viewers think with such a breezy pace. The film is sleek, and shot in a very stylized manner that catches the eye at the films beginning. The background score is superb, while the music is just okay. But the film has two major aces which is the mind blowing action, and the great emotional depth in the two main characters. The action in the film is simply superb, and the best I have seen in a Indian film in awhile, the hand to hand combat scenes in the club, and climax scene will leave you gasping for breathe. Its Hollywood level action. For a film with action at its fore front, it surprised me that it had nice emotional depth, the scenes involving the little girl, and John are heart warming and very endearing. The climax had me in tears , with the whole eye scene and hug. Another surprising factor for me was how finally things like drug trafficking and forced child labor was shown in a more accurate portrayal then most Hindi films ( most films a make mockery out of the subject). Overall honestly I throughly enjoyed Rocky Handsome its exactly what I excepted it to be a kick ass action film with a hint of emotion. Its not the most intelligent film but who cares, it pure unadulterated fun. 3.5/5* Grade: 73% B
