Badass Ravi Kumar : A Love Triangle with a Deadly Twist
At the heart of “Badass Ravi Kumar” lies an intriguing love triangle featuring Hansika Motwani (reuniting with Himesh after “Aap Ka Surroor”) and Kirti Kulhari in a stunning retro-vamp avatar reminiscent of Simi Garewal from “Karz.” The story takes an exciting turn when Kulhari’s character tasks Ravi Kumar with stealing a heavily guarded necklace, setting the stage for a thrilling heist drama wrapped in romance and betrayal.
The chemistry between the leads adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, with each character bringing their own agenda to this dangerous game of love and deception. Kulhari’s transformation into a glamorous antagonist marks a dramatic departure from her previous roles in “Pink” and “Mission Mangal,” promising audiences a fresh take on the classic vamp character.
