After an extended flashback explaining the circumstances in which Jaskirat Singh Rangi became Hamza Ali Mazari (Ranveer Singh), the sequel continues the undercover agent’s work pitting the local Karachi’ gangs against each other while sewing dissent and rising in the ranks until he’s able to land a crippling blow against Pakistan’s terror network. Intentionally bloodier and gorier than the first film, Dhurandhar The Revenge completes the story loosely inspired by real events with a patriotic, and one could even argue propagandist, spin.

Fiona Dorn “stars” as the daughter of a mobster (Eric Roberts) known for his heavy cocaine distribution (earing her the nickname Snow White – despite no one actually calling her that).

Raw Deal

  • Title: Raw Deal
  • IMDb: link

Inarguably lesser Schwarzenegger, Flashback Friday takes us 40 years to 1986’s Raw Deal when Hollywood was still struggling with turning the former bodybuilder into a consistent blockbuster action star. Perhaps not surprisingly, throwing Arnold Schwarzenegger into the middle of a crime drama as a blackballed cop turned small town sheriff working undercover with the mob, with no sense of humor given the absurdity of such an idea, isn’t the most believable of scenarios.
