Bloody Daddy

As a well wisher of Shahid, it pains me to see and state that this was such a massive disappointment!

Bloody Daddy's teaser and trailer led me to believe that it would be an action-packed, rugged, and stylish crime drama. I was unaware that there would be only twenty five minutes worth of stunts and choreography, while the remainder of the movie is a puerile attempt at developing a revenge plot that tends to revolve around an abduction and subsequent rescue operation.

The first half is unbelievably bad; the drama is unpersuasive, the dynamics don't seem to work, and the performances failed to convince me of the actual gravity of the situation. The second half of the film becomes mildly interesting, the pace quickens, and the characters get more and more desperate.

This sudden turn of events increased the risk factor, which led to some impressive hand-to-hand fight sequences, but the underlying drama failed to have a positive influence. And I would like to place the blame for this failure on the editing and the incredibly poor dialogue writing. If truth be told, I didn't expect such inferiority from someone like Ali Abbas Zafar.

P. S. Shahid looks great while performing action, and I believe that, with better scripts and stories, he could become a viable action hero - not the massy type, but the classy one.

This is the kind of films bollywood should make more. It is a well done remake starring Shahid Kapoor, Diana Penty and Ronit Roy.

I really liked how the protagonist was presented and how his darker side was revealed at many instances of the film, which will make you question if he deserves the sympathy you might have for him otherwise.

The action scenes did make me remember John Wick but I am not complaining. Also, the music used during action sequences felt trippy and very artistic, which is brilliantly done on the director's part.

This would make a good movie to watch with buddies. Definitely deserved a cinema release.

This review is based on not seeing the movies priors to this remake, both the french and tamil one. It was full of thrill and entertainment. Felt like I have seen Diana being an actress, a good one after so long. Shahid is getting real comfortable in playing wacky minded characters, and we see it. Hope Bollywood comes out with similar movies, less exaggerated scenes like in this one, good plot with good actors but please no more remakes. Bollywood step up your game, and not just by only recreating other films in hindi! The soundtracks in the film were also different, and fun to listen to. Some scenes were actually hilarious too.

A very worthy film to lead the OTT most streamed movies in India at the number 1 spot , I had the pleasure of being able to see Bloody Daddy and Trial Period at their worldwide digital premieres for free at JioCinema thanks to their strategy of giving us such good content for absolutely no cost and registration. Bloody Daddy is a very good action thriller that does not bore you for even a moment and contains some interesting twists and an engaging screenplay and is led by some great acting performances from everyone involved. Shahid Kapoor does a wonderful job as the lead character, Diana Penty makes for an interesting honest woman cop, Rajeev Khandelwal puts in a stellar acting performance in his role as a police officer too and Ronit Roy makes for an interesting, captivating antagonist. The fight scenes are realistic and are not over the top in the slightest , the protagonist is not shown as an undefeatable superhuman but fights in a very realistic fashion , employing a good use of the surroundings and objects in the environment. The plot does a decent job of showing the extents a father can and will go to for his son and all in all this is an interesting watch , especially for free. My only major problem with this film is that some of the fight scenes could be grander, especially the climax fight scene as the trailer promised a bit more which we could have hoped to see. Since the movie is a remake of a french movie, I will deduct another point as it is not an original movie.

Bloody Daddy is for Shahid Kapoor fans. The movie has Shahid Kapoor written all over it. He steals the show! He is great as an actor and especially he is great at playing a dad! Jersey had proved that already!

Average music, average acting by Diana Penty and Rajeev Khandelwal. Ronit Roy had his moments!

A must watch for SK fans but nothing new. Quite an average storyline, obvious sequences and average background score.

The movie had a lot of potential but clearly couldn't do much.

Ankur Bhatia was a delight to watch- Don't miss Aarya!

A light film, binge worthy but definitely not memorable.
