Premise
Freaky Ali is a extortion debt collector for the local goon along with Maqsood. His fate turns when one day he and Maqsood go to a golf course to collect extortion, after waiting for many hours for a man to give him money. Ali confronts the man, who tells him to wait while he finishes the hole. Ali challenges him, saying it to be easy. The man asks him to show it, Ali putts the ball in just one ace, for he has a gifted natural swing. This not only surprises the man, but his caddy as well, who knows him. What follows is the inspirational story of a simple extortion debt collector turned golfing sensation, and along the way to becoming a champion, Ali beats all odds and meets his dream girl, Megha.

Freaky Ali 2016 Movie Review By The Hindu
Freaky Ali is predictable to the core replete with every cliché of a typical sports film that you can possibly think of and, is marked by old fashioned story-telling and over the top, slapstick humour. The added layer is also a done and dusted one, that of a poor man taking to a rich man’s game — golf — and succeeding at it at that.

Freaky Ali 2016 Movie Review By Hindustan Times
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, before making the final strike in Freaky Ali, says he will make the final strike with a sixer. And that is exactly what he does—both in and for the film. Sohail Khan’s latest directorial venture brings out an unseen side of the actor we would love to see more.

Freaky Ali 2016 Movie Review By NDTV Movie Review
Designed as a sports film, it tells the story of two orphan friends, Ali and Maqsood, who are poor and want to make some quick money. Ali is excellent in gully cricket. But that is not what can feed him. Soon, after failed attempts as a salesman in a shop selling undergarments, he joins Maqsood as an extortionist, working for a local don addressed as Danger Bhai.

Freaky Ali 2016 Movie Review By Firstpost
Nawazuddin Siddiqui saves this film from being a complete washout. Director Sohail Khan is also credited for the story of this film about an accidental sporting hero that has a strong resemblance to the 1996 Adam Sandler starring Happy Gilmore.

Freaky Ali 2016 Movie Review By Indiatoday
Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s most experimental film yet. That was probably how the film was pitched in the boardroom of Sohail Khan ProductionZ. Too bad, as is always with any film from the bhai stable, the film’s makers did not give two hoots about the film’s script, which is why Freaky Ali ended up being two hours of zzzZZZzzzz…
