It has never been a secret that Dharmendra made the careers of his sons. They turned out to be fantastic actors. I liked the movies of Dharmendra, I was surprised he got back in front of the camera. And also with both of his sons.
Now the idea was great. Dharmendra used to be a boxer in America. But he got kicked out because they thought he used doping. Dharmendra wanted his son Sunny to be a boxer too, but sunny refused. Sunny did not see a rich career in boxing. His other son Bobby could not box, because he had a disabled left hand.
But then Bobby sudden can use his hand and want his father's dream to come true. But still Dharmendra is angry about Sunny.
This movie has not a great story. Camera and acting was not that great too. Sunny Deol's Hairdress was ridiculous! Bobby Deol could not act as a handicapped person. It was not convincing. Only to hide your hand does not make you disable.
This is an emotional movie. It could have been a good tear jerker, but it isn't. And that is the moment where this movie goes wrong. Dharmendra cannot act well. His face cannot show emotions. Besides that, the camera work does not work for me. It's like they were not shooting a movie, but a commercial.
What was Shilpa Shetty doing in this movie? Was she the daughter of Dharmendra, or was she the daughter in law? In the beginning this was not clear.
The most annoying mistakes filmmakers can make, when they put American/English actors or actresses in their movie, is that the movie does not work. This because the English accents are weird. The accents are not like they supposed to be. It's more exaggerated. In Sohail Khan's movies this happens all the time. I like Sohail's Movies, but the English accents aren't real.
Now this movie has pinned itself that a boxing match has to be 12 rounds. Why? A knockout can be done in 3 rounds. So you see the fighters fight, and you see the signs of the rounds. It was all unnecessary. This movie cannot be compared to Rocky, Cinderella man or Million Dollar baby. This movie did not work for me.
