His hero (played by Arjun Rampal) may be a mob boss but he is not portrayed as a cold blooded killer. The fact that Daddy claims to be based on the “true story” of Gawli has a lot to answer for. In the film, Gawli is supposed to be this good-hearted man who is in “bad company”. Unlike most gangster films, Daddy does not glorify its subject but it does worse. Daddy tries to justify Gawli’s actions with the decades-old filmy dialogue ‘gareebi uska sabsa bada mistake tha’.
