R... Rajkumar

Movie is all about entertainment..we should not expect from all movie where we would get thrill..excitement..sometime you need just refreshment..full on masti..and that is what all about R...Rajkumar. Fulltoo mas ala bollywood movie..emotions..love..affection..chicky comedy...awesome action..all in tapori style... Shahid has done very hard work..lots of surprise with Shahid action scene..

After Interval you will feel bore for at least 10-15 mins...but wait..picture abhi baki hai mere dost.. :)

NOTE : Do not go this movie with shahid Ishq-vishq image..his best after Kaminey.

There is a overdose of masala films in 2013 - Police giri, Chennai Express , Boss, Bullet Raja , Singh Saab The Great and now R..Rajkumar. Good news is that R..Rajkumar is better than above movie ... bad news is that it is yet another typical action-melodrama with nothing new to offer.

R..Rajkumar (played by Shahid Kapoor) is a fearless and daring thug who lands up in the lawless village and joins a drug-dealer's gang, Shivraj( played by Sonu Sood). Enters Chanda and our hero is head-over- heels in love with her. Things becomes ugly when Shivraj also starts liking and war is declared between the two to marry Chanda.

After giving of string of masala films like Wanted , Rowdy Rathore and Ramaiya Vastavaiya , Prabhudeva is back with yet another popcorn entertainment with strong first half but diluted second half. The film begins with a bang by incorporating scenes like Shahid Kapoor saving Sonu Sood's life , the dance number in the song "Gandi Baat", the chemistry and comic humor between Shahid and Sonakshi. However, the film goes down the rabbit hole and is completely lost in the dark in the later part. Screenplay is weak. Cinematography is amazing. Art direction is good. Background score is better. Songs like "Gandi Baat and Saree ke fall se" are catchy. Shahid steals the thunder from the show. He is superb in acting , dancing and even doing action scenes. This film should prove his mettle. Sonakshi Sinha repeats herself. Sonu Sood is good.

Overall, R..Rajkumar promises to deliver but is letdown by wafer-thin 2nd half. Watch it for Shahid. Average 2.5/5

Prabhudheva's 'R... Rajkumar' is Below The Mark! The film, despite boasting superb action, fantastic music & an impressive leading-man, fails to engage, as the Script is predictable & not-so-entertaining, at most parts.

'R... Rajkumar' Synopsis: A thug fights for his lady-love, in the middle of a warfare between two warring gangsters.

'R...Rajkumar' has an ordinary first-hour, but a disappointing second. The action-sequences are superb, but the Script is very predictable. One can foresee the entire film & that acts as a minus point. Also, the excessive violence in the goings-on is off-putting.

Prabhudheva's Direction is loud. Cinematography is fair. Editing is hurried up. The Music is fantastic. Each song is catchy & memorable.

Performance-Wise: Shahid is impressive, yet again. He enacts Rajkumar with admirable conviction. Even when the Script slips, he doesn't. He's an under-rated actor, who needs to do better films! Sonakshi Sinha does a fine job. Sonu Sood is wasted. Asrani is over-the-top. Ditto for Ashish Vidyarthi. Mukul Dev is very sincere. Late Actor Srihari does well.

On the whole, 'R... Rajkumar' is not up-to the mark.

R... Rajkumar, directed by Prabhu Deva, is a quintessential Bollywood masala film that combines high-energy action, romance, and comedy. Released in 2013, the movie features Shahid Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha in lead roles, with Sonu Sood playing the antagonist. While the film delivers on the entertainment front with its over-the-top action sequences and catchy music, it falls short in terms of story depth and character development.

Plot Summary The story follows Romeo Rajkumar (Shahid Kapoor), a carefree and brash young man who arrives in the small town of Dhartipur, ruled by two warring drug lords, Shivraj (Sonu Sood) and Parmar (Ashish Vidyarthi). Rajkumar falls in love at first sight with the beautiful Chanda (Sonakshi Sinha), who turns out to be Parmar's niece. Determined to win her love, Rajkumar finds himself embroiled in the deadly conflict between Shivraj and Parmar. The plot thickens as Rajkumar challenges Shivraj and sets out to protect Chanda, leading to a series of explosive confrontations.

Performances Shahid Kapoor shines as the titular Rajkumar, bringing a blend of charm, swagger, and intensity to his role. His dance skills, showcased in the film's energetic song sequences, and his adeptness at performing high-octane stunts make him a compelling action hero. Despite the film's flaws, Kapoor's performance is a highlight.

Sonakshi Sinha as Chanda delivers a spirited performance, though her character is often limited to the role of a damsel in distress. Sinha manages to bring a certain strength and feistiness to her character, which is refreshing.

Sonu Sood as the antagonist Shivraj is menacing and charismatic. His portrayal of the ruthless drug lord is convincing, and he brings a sense of gravitas to the film. The supporting cast, including Ashish Vidyarthi and Mukul Dev, provide adequate support, though their roles are largely one-dimensional.

Direction and Cinematography Prabhu Deva's direction is marked by his signature style, blending fast-paced action with vibrant dance numbers and comedic elements. The film's pacing is brisk, and the action sequences are choreographed with flair and executed with precision. However, the narrative is often predictable and formulaic, relying heavily on familiar tropes and clichés.

The cinematography by Mohana Krishna captures the rustic and gritty atmosphere of Dhartipur effectively. The action scenes are visually dynamic, and the song sequences are colorful and vibrant, adding to the film's overall appeal.

Music and Background Score The music of R... Rajkumar, composed by Pritam, is one of the film's strong points. Songs like "Gandi Baat," "Saree Ke Fall Sa," and "Mat Maari" are catchy and well-choreographed, showcasing Shahid Kapoor's impressive dance moves. The background score by Sandeep Chowta enhances the film's action and dramatic moments, though it tends to be a bit overbearing at times.

Themes and Impact R... Rajkumar explores themes of love, loyalty, and revenge within the framework of a typical Bollywood masala entertainer. The film's primary focus is on delivering entertainment through its action, music, and comedy, rather than delving into deeper thematic content or character development.

Conclusion R... Rajkumar is a film that knows its audience and delivers exactly what it promises: a high-energy, entertaining ride filled with action, comedy, and romance. While it may not offer much in terms of originality or depth, it succeeds in providing a fun and engaging viewing experience for fans of the masala genre.

For those looking for a light-hearted, action-packed entertainer with catchy music and charismatic performances, R... Rajkumar fits the bill. However, viewers seeking a more nuanced and substantial narrative may find the film lacking in those aspects.

This movie doesn't give us anything that we haven't seen a million times before. A hero that can give Superman a run for the money, who don't care for any rules, and is willing to do anything for his love. The matching of Sahid and Sonakshi in this movie is just wrong. No real chemistry between those two. The songs are barely above average. Overall a mindless time filler.

But what else to expect from Pravudeva. He's been recycling materials from south and found a niche following in Bollywood. He's obviously very impressed with Sonakshi as he's been signing her for a lot of his projects. Problem with his movie is that those bits have been done by others before him long before. So watching a movie where the hero breaks the laws of physics gets old real quick. Sahid just don't fit into this kind of role, something that Salman and Akshay have been doing for a while.
