Review of Cuttputlli: Akshay Kumar is refreshing as a gritty, real cop.

Akshay Kumar stars as an aspiring filmmaker who later joins the police in a remake of a south Indian film.

The police have no idea where to look for evidence of these kidnappings.

Divya (Rakul Preet Singh), who portrays a teacher and Arjan's love interest, is present.

It's too soon to move past a horrible experience.

I struggled to see why a love story was even necessary at this point.

Akshay is much more subdued, careful, and constrained in Cuttputlli.
