Movie Review: ‘Rocky Handsome’ can be recommended only for die hard action movie lovers

April 4, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

Rocky-Handsome

Producer: John Abraham (JA Entertainment)
Director: Nishikant Kamath
Star Cast: John Abraham, Shruti Haasan, Baby Diya Chalwad, Nathalia Kaur, Nishikant Kamath

Director Nishikant Kamath has given good films earlier but sadly he disappoints cine goers with his latest mad caper violent offering Rocky Handsome, and pray why was he tempted to don a villainous avtar in his own directorial venture which is also very disappointing and one which is a very huge put off for the audiences.

The plotted scenario of Rocky Handsome kicks off an extremely silent Rocky (John Abraham) buying fishes & flowers. 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). When the movie is brought to the present day, a cute little girl by the name of Naomi (Baby Diya Chalwad) gets introduced. She is a frequent visitor to Rocky’s pawn shop. 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. As days pass by, she opens up about her dreaded life before Rocky. She confesses that her mother (Nathalia Kaur) is a hardcore drug addict who gets beaten up always by some men. The unsaid bond of friendship gradually increases between the 2 and Rocky becomes extremely protective about her. 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. All of this leads to a deal that Rocky strikes with Naomi’s kidnappers Kevin (Nishikanth Kamath) and his psycho brother. 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. And when Rocky lands up at the assigned place for the delivery, he realises that the police has cordoned the area. What follows after that is oodles and oodles of violence including many merciless killings and brutal murders all for a single reason. Amidst all this, the police department discovers Rocky’s past that shocks the daylights out of them.

Director Nishikant Kamath seems to have made Rocky Handsome only to please his money bags producer John Abraham and to further John’s hardcore action image and also tried to further showcase his non – existent talent. Both the actor John & the director Nishikant were highly inspired by a Korean film The Man From Nohere which the duo must have watched at least a 100 times to copy and make its frame by frame indianised version and wrongly titled it as Rocky Handsome but what one fails to understand is what was so handsome about the whole film. The only handsomest thing about Rocky Handsome is its mind blowing action sequence
but with a mind numbing overdose of it.

Performance wise the film clearly belongs too John Abraham, but seriously speaking he has failed to live up to the cine goers expectations. Finally Abraham Baba has proved that he is not at all better or rather worst than other past models turned wooden performers. Yet another disappointment comes from Nishikant Kamath himself, for his extremely forgettable villainous avatar. Shruti Hassan, in a very, very special appearance is just about ok. But it is certainly Baby Diya Chalwad who imparts a very heart touching performance.

Tail Piece: Rocky Handsome can be recommended for die hard action movie lovers but strictly at their own risk.

Rocky Handsome will prove to be a milestone of our musical career: Sunny Bawra & Inder Bawra

March 16, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

Rocky Handsome

The latest music composer jodi to create ripples of waves on Bollywood’s musical horizon are Sunny Bawra and Inder Bawra. The music of their, just around the corner release, is John Abraham’s Rocky Handsome. The “Rehnuma” song of Rocky Handsome has already proved to be a chartbursting hit record in the entire musical arena.

How and from where did your musical journey begun?

We begun our musical journey with the small screen’s devotionally oriented mythological serials like Dwarkadheesh – Bhagwaan Shree Krishna, Siya Ke Ram, Meera, Devon Ke Dev……. Mahadev and many more. We do not hail from a typical musical family but our forefathers were indeed non – filmi singers in their own right so both of us decided to carry forward this musical journey on our own.

Please continue!

We landed in Bombay nay Mumbai, the 1st & foremost thing we did was to adjust and familiarise ourselves with Bollywood’s music and the people around here. Then begun our long and arduous struggling phase and finally we landed in the Sagar camp, who are known to encourage new music composers too. And then onwards began our small screen innings as mentioned above.

And then how did the big screen began?

From the small screen Sagar camp we landed up in the big screen Bhatt camp. I think they really liked our small screen’s over all music. So we ended up composing music for two of their hit films namely Hate Story 2 and Hate Story 3. The music of both Hate Story 2 and Hate Story 3 was really appreciated by one and all including the rave reviews by music hardcore music critics too.

What are the highlights of the music of Rocky Handsome and how did you bag this prestigious assignment of your career?

First of all we are very lucky to have bagged this prestigious assignment of Rocky Handsome, a film from John Abraham’s home production banner namely JA Entertainment. The main highlight of Rocky Handsome is one of the song composed by us namely “Rahnuma” which has already hit the music circles with a million hit on YouTube channel. We have other songs too in Rocky Handsome, but we can’t reveal anything more about it unless they are officially released. But we are 100% sure that Rocky Handsome will definitely prove to be milestone in our musical career.

What do you think about today’s deafningly cacophonic especially the rock and the rap kind of music? Don’t you think that melody is seriously missing?

Yes! You are right. Melody is seriously missing in today’s music and as for your other point this are just the varied music which are like changing seasons which comes and passes away. And the music lovers taste too, changes like every turn of the season. That’s it.

Bollywood has seen many hit musical jodis like Shankar – Jaikishan, Kalyanji – Anandji, Lakshmikant – Pyarelal, Sapan – Jagmohan, Jatin – Lalit, Nadeem – Shravan etc. So do you think the Sunny Bawra – Inder Bawra jodi will also succeed in carving a niche for themselves?

First of all let us clarify one thing that we are not friends or partners but in fact real blood brothers. I think we are very near to carving a niche for ourselves. We don’t know if we will be able to succeed and become one more hit jodi of Bollywood or not like all the superhit musical jodis mentioned above. They are all legendary music composers. We have miles and miles to traverse on the musical road to attain their kind of success. But once again we would like to stress that come whatever may Sunny Bawra and Inder Bawra are here to stay. And if have to became one more hit pair of music directors like the others we might as well drop the Bawra, even otherwise we are not related to the legendary lyricist Gulshan Bawra, and become one more hit jodi of Sunny – Inder. What say! Anyways we are Just kidding!
