Bloody Daddy (2023)
7/10
Strong but middling second and third act
9 June 2023
The movie starts off strongly, setting up a potentially exciting edge-of-your-seat thriller, but the screenplay quickly looses steam around midway and never quite recovers. It meanders a lot, as if the writers couldn't figure out how to fill certain parts of the section, so they shoehorn odd comedic scenes that only works because of the supporting cast members.

Shahid Kapoor plays yet another anti-hero and does so with remarkable ease. There is a certain uneasiness (and calmness) in his portrayal that is quite attractive. He finds a layer of nuance that distinguishes from the other similar characters he has played before. The support cast, which includes Ronit Roy, Rajeev Khandelwal and Diana Petty does a great job, too.

Overall, a decent watch. It's two hours and there is lots to enjoy if you have nothing better to do. It's free on Jiio so it's not a money sink either.
