Synopsis

Badass Ravi Kumar

In 1989 Muscat, Syed Bashir, a Pakistani official, commissions dance‑loving don Carlos Pedro Panther to recover a secret film reel that reportedly contains locations and aliases of Indian secret agents and missile codes. The reel subsequently comes into the possession of Laila, who obtained it after killing her husband. Bangles over payment negotiations, Laila plans a rendezvous with Carlos in India, prompting intervention from Interpol and Delhi police. Former maverick Delhi cop Ravi Kumar, known for killing corrupt criminals and defying orders, is reinstated for the mission. Accompanied by Interpol agent Mahavir Ahuja, Commissioner Awasthi, and quirky sidekicks Raja and Rana, Ravi embarks on a globe‑trotting chase to retrieve the reel before it falls into enemy hands. In Muscat, Ravi faces off against a colorful array of goons led by Carlos and his lieutenant Jagawar. After a stylized diamond‑heist scene and numerous over‑the‑top confrontations, Ravi reconnects with his old flame Madhubala, who happens to be Laila's sister. As the mission escalates, Carlos abducts Madhubala, forcing Ravi into a final showdown. In a climactic battle, Ravi infiltrates Carlos's hideout and kills him, avenging both national security and personal loss. The film ends with a reveal that Carlos's brother, Carlis Pedro Panther, is out for revenge, hinting at further conflict.

Bollywood Hungama

Himesh Reshammiya's story is quite ordinary. But Kushal Bakshi and Himesh Reshammiya's screenplay is peppered with mass-appealing scenes and moments that will give the audience their money’s worth. Bunty Rathore's dialogues are one of the pillars of the film. The one-liners will lead to whistles and hoots in cinemas. Keith Gomes's direction is more or less fine. There are too many characters and subplots and he tries his best to keep the narrative as simplified as possible. He also makes it very clear in the very beginning that the film is made in 80s style and that ‘logic is optional’. With that directive, the audience will have no reason to complain and will simply enjoy the crazy ride.
