The Firstpost movie review of 'Badass Ravi Kumar' delivers a scathing critique of the film, labeling it 'massy, misogynistic, incoherent trash.' The review spares no punches in its assessment of the acting, directing, and overall narrative. The central criticism revolves around the lead actor, Himesh Reshammiya, whose performance is described as severely lacking, highlighting the disconnect between his apparent screen time and his acting capabilities. The reviewer argues that Reshammiya and Prabhudheva should stick to their strengths in singing and dancing, as their acting skills appear insufficient for contemporary cinematic standards. The film's plot, set in 1989, follows a suspended Delhi police officer, Ravi Kumar, on a mission to combat corruption, a premise that is ultimately undermined by the execution.
The narrative structure is widely condemned for its disjointed and illogical nature. The reviewer notes a lack of coherence, pointing to a series of unrelated plot points and an excessive number of characters that contribute to the overall incoherence. The action sequences, rather than providing thrilling entertainment, are mocked for their apparent lack of seriousness and professionalism. The love triangle featuring two sisters both vying for Ravi Kumar's affection is similarly criticized for its simplistic and illogical nature, failing to add any depth or complexity to the already weak storyline. The reviewer expresses bewilderment at the film's existence, questioning the filmmakers' creative choices and the target audience for such a poorly conceived film.
Beyond the narrative flaws, the reviewer targets the film's misogynistic undertones and its nonsensical portrayal of patriotism. The excessive violence and the objectification of female characters contribute to the overall negative assessment. The reviewer highlights the absence of any discernible effort towards crafting a watchable film, lamenting the wasted potential and creative shortcomings. The review emphasizes the film's failure on almost every level, from the acting to the script, the direction, and the overall concept. The overall tone is one of extreme disappointment and frustration, expressing a profound lack of understanding for the film's existence and its apparent lack of appeal to a modern audience. The film's poor production value and its failure to deliver even basic entertainment are strongly criticized, leaving the reviewer deeply unimpressed.
The concluding statement of the review is a concise and damning summary of the film, leaving no room for ambiguity about its poor quality. The rating of 1/2 out of 5 stars reinforces the negative assessment, confirming the film’s position as one of the worst of the year thus far. The reviewer's overall tone suggests a sense of disappointment not only in the film itself but also in the current state of filmmaking, suggesting a larger critique of the industry’s willingness to produce and distribute such substandard works. The review serves as a warning to potential viewers, advising them against wasting their time and money on this film. The overall message is that 'Badass Ravi Kumar' falls far short of even the most basic standards of cinematic entertainment, failing to engage audiences on any level.
