Movie Review : R...Rajkumar

After the unsuccessful Ramaiya Vastavaiya, Prabhu Deva is back with what he does best. The over the top action, colourful songs, dialogue bazzi and R...Rajkumar is no different.

The plot revolves around Rajkumar (Shahid Kapoor) who works for a drug baron named Shivraj (Sonu Sood). He eliminates his rival Manik Parmar's men, thus proving his loyalty to Shivraj.  But then his eyes clap with Chanda (Sonakshi Sinha) and as he falls in love with her his life and circumstances around him changes.

Masala films are meant to entertain and R...Rajkumar succeeds to entertain.
The first half of the film is well paced with some mixture of humour, over the top action and yes colourful songs which are very important for films of this genre. But its the second half where the pace dips a bit and takes time to get back in momentum but thanks to the last 30 minutes which are quite action packed and entertaining.

Dialogues are the major point of masala films and R...Rajkumar has few moments of dialogue bazzi which will receive claps and whistles from the audience.

Coming to the acting department, Shahid Kapoor as Rajkumar has played his part well. He shows great innocence in humor and equally powerful rough look while competing his rivals. Sonakshi Sinha (Chanda) seems to have got familiar with such roles and plays her part well. Sonu Sood as Shivraj and Ashish Vidyarthi as Manik Parmar are great to watch. Asrani as always is delightful to watch. Mukul Dev again proves that he is a great actor. Late Shri Srihari as Ajit Taaka has little part to play but is outstanding and great to watch.

The music of the film is good. Gandi Baat and Saree ke fall sa are fun to listen and great to watch on screen.

Editing by Ballu Saluja is decent.

Cinematography by Mohana Krishna is good.

So, What do we conclude?

Plus Points :
1) Entertaining first half.
2) Colourful and quite entertaining songs.
3) Few moments of Dialogue bazzi where the audience will clap and whistle.
4) Some good performances by the star cast.

Negative Points :
1) Second half takes time to get back in momentum.
2) Editing not up to the mark.
3) Few action scenes which are over done.

Overall, R...Rajkumar is a typical bollywood masala entertainer which has nothing new to offer but still entertains.

If you are in search of some logical films then films of these genre aren't your cup of tea but if you are a masala film lover then R...Rajkumar deserves a watch once.
