Sikander (Ronit Roy) plays a drug lord-cum-hotelier. He comes to know that Sumair has beaten up his men and is in possession of his cocaine. He abducts Sumair’s son Athrav.

The short story is how Sumair (Shahid Kapoor) manages to get back his son. But what makes this drama interesting is the various subplots that director Ali Abbas Zafar integrates.

The biggest strength of Bloody Daddy is how Ali Abbas Zafar designed the character of Shahid Kapoor. Shahid Kapoor exudes power and vulnerability in equal measure.

Entertainment

He also comes across as a selfish and irresponsible dad. His moral compass also seems to be oscillating and this keeps the viewers guessing whether he is the good guy or the anti-hero.

Entertainment

The duo of Ronit Roy (Sikander) and Sanjay Kapoor (Hamid) are also in fine form. Rajeev Khandelwal (Sameer) is another actor who makes a strong impression.

Entertainment

The cinematography by Marcin Laskaweic matches the vision of Ali Abbas Zafar. Bloody Daddy is a highly watchable action thriller that provides enough adrenaline rush.
