She had been saved by Attila before her eye surgery he took pity on her because she had been kind to him. Everything is all over the place in this Goa over-run by ‘Roosis’, and dark night clubs, and organ traders, and scenes of extreme, hard-core violence.As Kabir prepares to commit suicide out of grief, Naomi emerges. Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse, you come upon the gracious Suhasini Mulay trucked out as a sleazy peddler of kids. The rest of the space is filled with an eight year old (Diya Chalwad) who’s made to talk like she’s double that, and given a relationship with our hero which is meant to tear you up, but feels faintly creepy. He only appears bad, see, he’s actually a good guy with a terrible past. John Abraham’s Rocky Handsome is a double: the screen splits into two, with both Rocky and Handsome come striding towards us, just in case we were confused. Shruti Haasan shows up for a miniscule walk- on just to shed some good light on the hero, before he walks off into the shadows.
The film is based on a well-known Korean flick, and in Korean flicks which topline gore, the leading men are not saddled with back stories to make them look noble. Which is meant to make up for the absence of a coherent story-line, dreary set pieces, and long stretches of people shooting at each other. Of course he has a justification, because he is a Hindi film hero. Particularly in a climactic scene, in which he makes like a veritable whirlwind, using everything he has, to carve through his opponents.
But before you can shout axe murderer, you ought to know that Abraham’s character is the most violent of them all. But really who cares about such specifics in a film which is determined to plumb all depths when it comes to grisly violence : from a man with an axe, to goons with knives and guns, and some kind of a vacuum drill, which is used in a most shiver inducing manner right at the start, every conceivable weapon is brought to bear.
