PLOT: The journey of a vengeful man who embarks on a murderous rampage when the only person he cares about is kidnapped and taken away from him.
REVIEW: Infamously known as Handsome (John Abraham) and living a lonely life in Goa, the story revolves around Rocky's neighbour, an 8 year old girl, who lives with her drug abusive mother. The girl likes to spend time with Rocky but he is too dogged to be delightful. One day, her mother Anna (Nathalia Kaur) steals drugs from the local mafia and eventually gets kidnapped for the dreadful delinquency, along with her daughter. That's when Rocky embarks on a mission to rescue the girl.
The script doesn't highlight the strong connection between Rocky and the girl, thus, the urge to fight for her does not seem very convincing. Another poor phase of the script is its villains who seem excessively energetic and irritating. Equipped with his buffed physique, John, a hushed hero whose only job is to fight and kill the bad guys, complimented the character well. The action packed fight scenes were commendable and dialogue delivery was apt. The soul of the movie, however, is the charming 8 year old, Diya Chalwad. Undoubtedly, her acting along with the innocence and cuteness will have the audience empathising.
