WOW...This is the best joke I have heard so far... I mean, if you are copying, copy the original story. By copying and making it commercial, you have not only shown that you cannot think original, but you are also not capable of copying the original. Come on...Veer Vijay Singh....Dude...the shooter in the phonebooth never had a name and that was the essence of the story. Neither did he dance and sommersault. I just don't know what else to tell these guys but "grow up and wipe your nose by yourself"

The reviewer has given 1.5 out of mercy...I would have preferred if there were some negative stars...or maybe a 5 year ban for the director, scipt writer and the producer who dared to think this way....

And guys, if you are comparing this movie with any other, please do not compare with A Wednesday. It is an insult to the entire crew of A Wednesday who tried to preach a message with some logic in it. This movie is absolute waste of time.
Re: CRAPPY MOVIE COPY OF FLOP H'WWOD MOVIE

This Knock Out could be a crappy copy of Phone Booth, accepted. But Phone Booth was a taut thriller and a cult hit! How can you label it a flop?
Whether the movie fails to impress or not, the reviewer lives up to the expectations and gives one more review which is, mildly put, a disaster.
The movie promo claimed it to be a message giving movie?? Who knew?? Maybe Patcy did and hence she is asking morality questions...
The review is loaded with irony and laughter. The crime reporters do not wear tube tops.. Ummm.. what do they wear Patcy? I hope you did not mean.. nothing.
atleast i saved my 2-3 hours for this crap...was planning to watch it this wknd.....but not after this review..... the whole cast, produced, director must be utterly stupid to remake 'phone booth'...come on guys do u realise what you have done, there is no way you can remake this movie. The fact is that there are movies completely based on performances & starcast (e.g. GODFATHER s , The good heart, silence of the lambs, sleuth, city island, the green mile etc...) which have a very normal storyline but great performances to back it up...BUT then there are movies which are based on the story line , great thrillers etc (e.g. usual suspects, Phone-booth, Seven, Oldboy, stepmom etc..)......you may make an attempt to remake the performance based movies (the former one in my category) but never ever never ever a story based movie....DIRECTOR must be really stupid to have a go at it....its not only a commercial failure but also highlights the lack of originality and sensitivity of the guys involved in this... I am so glad that i read this review otherwise would have kept cursing the whole crew of this movie for their take on one of my favorite movie.....

bashir saab, u can have my comment now. I would never see Dabangg...i can not digest Salman khan and his "acting" the guy is a jackass and he has ruined his acting abilities (whatever lil bit he had!) just by trying to copy adam sandler. sorry paaji, i woudl rather sit alone in a dark room for couple of hours than watching sallu's movie.....no offence mate... perhaps i have an odd taste!
when naseruddin shah played a similar role in "A wednesday" as sanjay dutt does in "knock out", all reviewers appreciated. ok may be naseer played it better but these films show that if govt. does not take action in time, the matter may go to this level also. so these movies are raising a genuine issue and warning govt.

The first line in this article states t hat "16 December" was a good film. I'd rather post a comment and get brickbats thrown at me, then waste my time reading the entire article.
