Bloody Daddy

Sumair Azad is an NCB officer, who along with his deputy Jagadish Prasad alias Jaggi in Gurgaon bust down a drug deal, leading the drug lord Sikandar to kidnap Sumair's son Atharva in exchange for retrieving the bag of cocaine. With no other option left, Sumair agrees to retrieve the bag from the NCB headquarters, and bring it to his club for the exchange. Sumair's act of hiding the bag in the men's toilet is noticed by his assistant Aditi Rawat, who becomes suspicious. Thinking that Sumair is involved in drug smuggling, Aditi informs her superior Sameer Singh and begin to pursue Sumair, taking away the bag of cocaine from the toilet in the process.

When Sumair realises that the bag of cocaine has gone missing, he decides to return a bag containing packets of flour to Sikandar, thinking that he and his cronies, including Hameed Shaikh, will not realise the difference. Unfortunately, Sikandar and Hameed soon find out that Sumair had cheated them and decide to kill him. Caught between Sikandar's gang along with Aditi and Sameer, Sumair confronts Aditi and tells her that contrary to her suspicions, he has been working undercover and had planned the entire operation to expose Sameer and Jaggi's involvement in drug smuggling for Sikandar.

Sumair then rescues Atharva without Sikandar's knowledge and Sikandar is arrested by Aditi and Sameer. While taking Sikandar to prison, Aditi finds out that Sumair placed Jaggi's mobile phone in her jacket, and on reading the messages in it, she finds out that Sumair had been speaking the truth all along, realising that Sameer and Jaggi are involved in drug smuggling and had tried to frame Sumair. Though Sameer tries to resist arrest, killing Sikandar in the process, he is eventually brought to justice. While talking with Aditi about exposing more drug dealers, Atharva finds drug packets in Sumair's car, thus revealing that Sumair is also involved in drug smuggling. Atharva keeps quiet about this, where he and Sumair leave for a short trip.

Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India gave 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Bloody Daddy doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s an absurdly funny, unpretentious action- crime thriller that's brutal and brave."[13] Anindita Mukherjee of India Today gave 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Even though Bloody Daddy doesn’t offer the audience elements that they’ve never seen before, the film definitely stands out in the sea of action thrillers. It’s high on thrill, action and full of Shahid Kapoor!"[14] Hindustan Times Telugu wrote “Shahid Kapoor showed variation in acting, but outdated story point.”[15]

Titas Chowdhary of News18 gave 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "If you want to unwind after a tiringly long week and blow off steam, Bloody Daddy is the option. It is light, breezy, fun, fizzy and pleasing to the eyes. Our biggest complaint remains, a spectacle film of this scale and elaborate canvas deserved a theatrical release."[16] Aishwarya Vasudevan of OTTplay gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Bloody Daddy has all the elements of a blockbuster, and it almost hits the mark. But the storyline is what fumbles it, making it a long and stretchy film."[17]

Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Bloody Daddy tries to possess a certain amount of madness to keep the momentum going. It’s like that car whose driver is enjoying his rashness, taking all the bumpiness in between, and reaching the finishing line all battered and bloody."[18] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Playing a variation on Farzi's defiantly amoral middle-class rebel, the lead actor assumes the persona of another anti-hero who plays the game by his own rules."[19] LatestWebSeries gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Bloody Daddy is a film that showcases both brilliance and mediocrity. Its comic elements, masterful action sequences, immersive soundtrack, and unique storytelling approach make it worth a watch."[20]

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Shahid Kapoor-starrer has all the ingredients of a pacey thriller but despite the occasional burst, it slumps back into a been-there-seen-this category."[21]
