Mukkabaaz
Mukkabaaz (English: The Brawler) is a 2017 Indian sports drama film
co-written, co-produced and directed by Anurag Kashyap. Produced jointly by
Anand L. Rai and Phantom Films, the film stars Vineet Kumar Singh, Zoya
Hussain, Ravi Kishan and Jimmy Shergill.
A low caste boxer (Shravan) trains at a gym controlled by a local Don

not approve of this match. Shravan strives to win Sunaina's hand in marriage
and become a successful boxer while trying to avoid retaliation from the Don. The
film is a sharp social commentary on the multiple battles (literal and
metaphorical) that Shravan (Vineet Kumar Singh), a common man who dares to have
a spine, must fight on a daily basis for deserving to be treated with dignity
and fulfill his ambition of becoming Uttar Pradesh ka Mike Tyson. The promising
boxer has confidence and faith in his abilities. He refuses to bow down to the
powerful, which doesn't go down too well with Bareilly's local goon and boxing
promoter Bhagwandas Mishra (Jimmy Sheirgill). Used to thriving on people's
insecurities and fear, Shravan's self-belief is perceived as defiance.
