Badass Ravi Kumar Movie Review: Script Analysis
One of the strongest aspects of Badass Ravi Kumar is its ability to fully embrace its over-the-top nature while keeping the audience entertained. Bunty Rathore’s dialogues are tailor-made for a massy action hero, delivering whistle-worthy moments like “Jo Ravi Kumar Se Ulajhta Hain, Uske Photo Pe Haar Chadh Jaata Hain.”

However, the second half slows down due to stretched song and dance sequences. Himesh Reshammiya’s logic-defying moves, like camouflaging on the ground to steal a necklace, push the boundaries of believability—but that’s exactly what makes the film so outrageous and fun. The climax features another misplaced song, yet within Ravi Kumar’s eccentric world, it somehow fits.

Despite Reshammiya’s undeniable screen presence, the supporting cast, including Sanjay Mishra, Johnny Lever, Kirti Kulhari, and Rajesh Sharma, is disappointingly underused.

Badass Ravi Kumar Movie Review: Star Performance
Himesh Reshammiya brings full-blown swagger to his role, embodying the larger-than-life hero with unwavering confidence. His performance is a mix of mass appeal, action, and self-aware entertainment, ensuring there’s never a dull moment.

Prabhu Deva steals the show as a psychotic villain, delivering a performance that’s both entertaining and exaggerated in the best way possible. Unfortunately, the film doesn’t fully utilize its stellar supporting cast. Simona J, playing Ravi Kumar’s love interest, struggles to match the film’s dramatic energy despite her charm.

Badass Ravi Kumar Movie Review: Direction & Music
Even though the visual effects and action scenes aren’t particularly sophisticated, the film really nails that classic 80s masala vibe we all love. The background music is pretty catchy, but aside from ‘Tere Pyaar Mein,’ the other songs don’t leave a lasting impression.

Badass Ravi Kumar Movie Review: The Last Word
Badass Ravi Kumar is an unapologetic entertainer that prioritizes fun over logic. It embraces its flaws and focuses on delivering pure masala for the masses. If you’re in the mood for retro-style action and over-the-top drama, this one’s worth a watch!
