During the loot and tussle Sumair masks drops and his face is seen. Sumair has robbed the cocaine from the henchman of Sikander Chawdhery (Ronit Bose Roy) a hotelier and the local drug lord.

After sometime Atharv Azad (Sartaz Kakkad) son of Sumair gets kidnapped by Sikander. Sikander asks Sumair to return the robbed cocaine and take his son back. The exchange has to be made at Sikander’s posh seven-star hotel in Gurgaon.

Things go wrong and it turns out to be deadly game of cat and mouse.

 

Bloody Daddy movie review

Bloody Daddy is a relentless mad crazy action pack adventure. Writer Director Ali Abbas Zafar with his team of writers Aditya Basu and Siddharth–Garima Indianized this 2011 French film Nuit Blanche (Sleepless Night). In 2015 it was remade in Tamil as Thoongaa Vanam starring Kamal Hassan.

Bloody Daddy is filled with adrenaline rush right from frame one till the very end. Continuous action sequences that include gun battles, chases, man to man combat, emotion, thrill and excitement. Most of the action takes place inside that posh hotel in Gurgaon.

From the series of action sequences, the one which stayed in my mind is the one in Kitchen.  The plot of Bloody Daddy is unusual but interesting. The pace of Bloody Daddy is so quick that you don’t have time to think about anything that just happened. Immediately a terrific action peace takes your attention. A good smart action film has this quality.

There are some fine touches as well as the one when Sumair gets to know on phone that his son has been threatened by Sikander and slapped by Sikander’s brother played by Vivan Bhatena.

Performance

Shahid Kapoor as Sumair is awesome. His best action thriller till date.  

Rajeev Khandelwal as Shahid’s boss who is after him is fabulous.

Diana Penty leaves her impression. 

Ronit Roy is outstanding.

Zeishan Quadri makes his presence felt.

Sanjay Kapoor is fine.

Good support comes from Ankur Bhatia and Vivan Bhathena.

And finally, Sartaaj Kakkar as Shahid’s son in the film, he is marvelous.

Technicalities

Lee Whittaker the Baahubali, X Men, Captain Marvel fame stunt coordinator gives the action buffs a mind-blowing treat. The action of Bloody Daddy is crazy and extraordinary.  Cinematography by Marcin Laskawiec captures the scenes of the glittering hotel in all colors, lights and darkness with finesse. Steven H. Bernard’s editing is crisp and yes, the background by Julius Packiam sets the mood and increases the excitement.

Flaws

Why is this not in theatres.
