Badass Ravi Kumar (2025) is an Indian Hindi-language musical action film directed by Keith Gomes in his feature film debut and produced by Himesh Reshammiya Melodies. It serves as a spin-off to the 2014 film The Xposé, with Himesh Reshammiya reprising his iconic role as the charismatic and eccentric Ravi Kumar.
The film follows Ravi Kumar, a maverick cop with a flair for the dramatic and a reputation for bending the rules. He’s drawn into a globe-trotting mission to stop the theft of a micro reel containing sensitive intel about top Indian officials. The villain, Carlos Pedro Panther—a flamboyant gangster with an appetite for chaos—becomes his chief adversary. What begins as a simple chase morphs into a labyrinth of personal vendettas, romantic entanglements, and dangerous conspiracies, culminating in a high-voltage action-packed finale.
