“Badass Ravikumar” is a full-blown action entertainer that delivers exactly what its title promises—over-the-top action, dramatic dialogues, and a hero who takes on the world with sheer style. The film, directed by Himesh Reshammiya, is a spin-off from The Xposé (2014), bringing back the character Ravikumar in a larger-than-life avatar.
Himesh Reshammiya plays the lead role, and it’s clear he enjoys every bit of it. His character, Ravikumar, is a fearless hero who fights villains, delivers punchy one-liners, and dances to foot-tapping songs. The film is filled with stylized action sequences, dramatic slow-motion shots, and a lot of swagger.
The storyline follows a classic revenge-and-redemption arc, where Ravikumar must face powerful enemies to bring justice. The plot is predictable, but the film never aims to be a deep, thought-provoking story. Instead, it thrives on exaggerated action and self-aware humor.
The music, composed by Reshammiya himself, is catchy, with songs that blend Bollywood masala with high-energy beats. However, some tracks feel forced into the narrative. The cinematography is flashy, filled with vibrant colors and grand set designs that add to the larger-than-life feel.
On the downside, the film has its flaws. The dialogues are often overdramatic, and the acting, especially in emotional scenes, feels a bit unnatural. The screenplay could have been tighter, as some parts drag unnecessarily.
If you enjoy mass-action films with a hero who dominates every scene, Badass Ravikumar might be a fun watch. But if you’re looking for a strong storyline or deep performances, this one may not be for you. It’s a guilty pleasure movie—one that’s best enjoyed without taking it too seriously.
