One has to give it to the director Nishikant Kamath for having wonderfully combined nail-biting action in the song ' Teri Toh Yaad Sataye'. The film's first half takes some time to firmly establish the plot the real story starts post the kidnapping of the girl and her mother. The film's adrenaline rushing action provides reasons enough to keep the audiences engrossed till the end of the film. The flip side is that the film boasts of some of the high-octane action drama (including the blood soaked action punches and gun fights) that Bollywood has never witnessed before. The film also sees many clichés, which just could have been avoided.
Despite the fact that the film has a small runtime, the film's story and narrative looks highly disjointed at places, which may just act as a speed breaker with the audiences' likings. The same holds for the film's screenplay (Ritesh Shah) that definitely could have been tighter at many places. ROCKY HANDSOME has a story (Ritesh Shah) that is extremely average, which could have been much better. Full credits go to Nishikant Kamat, John Abraham and the film's stunt directors (Suniel Rodrigues, Kecha Kammpakdee) One has to give it to the action directors for raising the bar for action films, with ROCKY HANDSOME. He has effortlessly blended style and content and has maintained a fine balance between jaw-dropping action and heart-rending emotions. The film's director Nishikant Kamat, who has made varied films in the past like DRISHYAM, FORCE, MUMBAI MERI JAAN, brings an action packed entertainer in the form of ROCKY HANDSOME, which happens to be an official remake of the South Korean film THE MAN FROM NOWHERE). What is the reason for all the killings, what is Rocky's past and what reference has it got with his present, does Rocky become successful in tracing out Naomi and her mother. Amidst all this, the police department discovers Rocky's past that shocks the daylights out of them. What follows after that is oodles and oodles of violence including many merciless killings and brutal murders all for a single reason. And when Rocky lands up at the assigned place for the delivery, he realises that the police has cordoned the area. As per the deal, Rocky should deliver a certain (drug) consignment to an assigned place, in return of the freedom of Naomi and her mother. All of this leads to a deal that Rocky strikes with Naomi's kidnappers Kevin (Nishikanth Kamath) and his psycho brother. One fine day, when Rocky enters his shop, he becomes shell shocked to see that his shop has been broken into and that some men are driving away with Naomi in their captive. The unsaid bond of friendship gradually increases between the two and Rocky (without saying) becomes extremely protective about her. She confesses that her mother (Nathalia Kaur) is a hardcore drug addict who gets beaten up always by some men. As days pass by, she opens up about her dreaded life before Rocky. On one such visit, when she starts conversing with the ferocious looking Rocky, she confesses that all her friends call him as 'Handsome' and that, she has been deliberately told to stay away from him because 'he had committed a crime', something that her heart refuses to believe. She is a frequent visitor to Rocky's pawn shop. When the movie is brought to the present day, a cute little girl by the name of Naomi (Baby Diya Chalwad) gets introduced. The very moment he smells the flowers, the film goes into a 'flashback mode' followed by the introduction of Rocky's beautiful wife Rukshida Kabir Ahlawat (Shruti Hasan). The film starts off with an extremely silent Rocky (John Abraham) buying fishes and flowers. Will ROCKY HANDSOME prove to be a 'handsome' hit at the box-office or will it meet an ugly fate, let's analyze. While there have been many action films that Bollywood has witnessed, this week's release promises to be a bit different as it also shows a strong bond between John Abraham and a small girl. On the films' front, this week sees the release of the action packed ROCKY HANDSOME that stars Bollywood's action hero John Abraham. With the long weekend in place, this definitely looks like a fun week for movies.
