Knock Out, which has been advertised as being the remake of the Hollywood blockbuster, Phone Booth', 2002 Colin Farrell and Kiefer Sutherland, is certainly a mind gripping violent tale of the thugs in society.

As the movie begins with Tony Khosla, played by Iran Khan, also known as Bachu in the movie, an investment banker entering a phone booth, and thereby, getting involved with one event after another, as the movie unfolds.

It is a drama unfolding as Irfan is about to make a call and just before he picks up the receiver, the phone rings! As Bachu picks up the phone, he is shocked to hear a thundering voice at the other end, threatening him to quit his crooked ways. However, it does show the common man's unwilling approval of the strong political hold in society.

As each scene unfolds, there is restraint from the actor, and his connections to the politician Gulshan Grover called Bapu, very contradictory to his name, deals in all the shady businesses in society.

Sanjay Dutt, the sparkling cop, has a very severe determined role as a sniper, and has the distinct personality to carry off his role exceptionally well.

Kangana Ranaut, lends a bit of eye candy, Sushant Singh have nothing much to add to the drama, ditto Apoorva Lakhia.

In general, it is an average film.
