Wail, the ghost of Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky prevails. Shiver your timbers, Abhishek Kapoor’s Aryan is about Sohail Khan who wants to box, box and box.

When he doesn’t, he wears a Superman suit at his kid’s birthday. Should have been the other way around but.. never mind.

Now if Sohail saheb just wants to glower, his wife (Tiny Tot Sneha Ullal, much too under-age) merely wants to simper.

As a result, the finale at the national championship bout ends in a way-out whimper.

Inder Kumar, as the rival pugilist, goes snarl-snigger-snarl-snigger till you wish someone would pull the trigger.

Serious advice: Don’t even accept a free ticket.
