Plot
Sumair Azad is an NCB officer, who along
with his deputy Jagadish Prasad alias
Jaggi in Gurugram 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.

Reception
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]
