But the good news is that it is ironically entertaining despite being a three-minute-long trailer. Now, that is a remarkable feat in itself. The director, Keith Gomes, is seemingly poking fun at all the loud and melodramatic havoc being created on screen while winking good-humouredly at his audience, as if asking them cheekily, "Isn't this what you wanted from the internet's favourite music director, a larger-than-life hero ala Pushpa and KGF?"
And if that was Gomes' intention, he seems to have hit the nail right on its head, as one social media user commented, "No Pushpa. No Sikandar. No Toxic. No War 2. Only Badass Ravi Kumar." Another wrote, "Bro, this is literally Indian Deadpool." "The myth, the legend, the Badass Ravi Kumar," wrote a user.
Also starring Kirti Kulhari, Prabhudeva and Sunny Leone, Badass Ravi Kumar arrives in cinemas on February 7.
