Music Brings 80s Nostalgia
Himesh’s self-composed soundtrack stays true to the essence of 80s Bollywood music, enhancing the film’s retro vibe. While some viewers admire the nostalgic elements, others feel the music leans too heavily on past influences.
Nevertheless, for many fans, the high-energy tracks contribute significantly to the film’s entertainment value.

Badass Ravi Kumar has divided audiences, with some celebrating its over-the-top execution and others dismissing it as outdated. While the film’s appeal may not be universal, it certainly delivers a unique cinematic experience for fans of 80s Bollywood nostalgia.
