Director duo Shakoor Sir & Vijay Pal have really made a mockery of a good theme in their debut directorial offering Sorry Daddy. Although the age old theme of street children or even the kidnapped ones being forced to beg, after their body parts are mutilated, is nothing new and represented time and again since its 1st attempt in Nanha Farishta.
Sorry Daddy is actually a children’s action drama film set in the early 2014’s. The story centre’s around the turbulent relationship between Inspector Ravi Sharma (Shameem Khan) and the street children, a relationship which is affected by children’s issues with alcohol abuse and temperament. Inspector Ravi Sharma is an honest & intelligent police officer. He burst the racket of Daddan’s (Mukesh Tiwari) illegal wine factory to show his intention against the enemy of law & society. Meanwhile, his daughter Anishka seeks his help to find out her lost school friend Aditya, who is a very bright student but always looks puzzled because of his drunken father who fights with his mother every time. One day the fight takes an ugly turn and father dies accidentally. Aditya runs away from the home in fear. Ravi arrests his mother as murderer and she lands up in prison. Innocent Aditya walks randomly in the city and meets a gang of street beggars who want to help him. But unfortunately, he lands up in the clutches of Sevak Ram (Tinu Verma). Sevak Ram is a socialist who runs a self organization for the betterment of these street children. But the truth is that he makes them handicap and pushes them in begging business.
Sorry to say but Sorry Daddy is the most pathetic film ever made in the history of Indian Cinema. The debutante directors Shakoor Sir & Vijay Pal have failed miserably in delivering the goods. Right from the word go nothing seems to work for this badly presented film. There is just one song which has been repeated throughout the film and it gets on your nerves.
Performance wise senior actors like Tinu Verma, Razzak Khan, Mukesh Tiwari, Shehzad Khan & Raghubir Yadav are mercifully wasted. Even the new actors like Shameem Khan, Gayetri Singh and hordes of others have hammed like nobody’s business. All this new actors especially Shameem Khan are more like mini financiers who finance the films just to satisfy their urge to don the grease paint & face the arc lights. They neither have the talent, the figure or even the looks to be actors. With no screen presence they end up looking more like beggars on the streets.
Tail Piece: Sorry Daddy is a sheer waste of time & energy. So stay miles away from the theatre that still has the daring to screen Sorry Daddy in their cinema halls.
