Batla House movie review: John Abraham tries hard but this police drama isn’t arresting enough

Hindustan Times  

Batla House Director - Nikkhil Advani Cast - John Abraham, Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan Rating - 2/5 Batla House movie review: John Abraham plays an encounter specialist cop in director Nikkhil Advani’s new film. There is a scene in the film Batla House where John Abraham, playing valorous policeman Sanjay Kumar, is listening to someone on the phone. Watch the movie review here The film starts off well, by giving us the Batla House police encounter of 2008 — a Delhi clash where two alleged terrorists were killed and one ‘encounter specialist’ police officer was martyred — in the first few minutes. “How difficult is it?” That’s a question worth asking Advani, because the steeplechase obstacles he puts in Abraham’s way before getting to the film’s meaty third act — the courtroom argument — aren’t hard enough to merit as much focus.
