R... Rajkumar

R...Rajkumar is definitely one of the worst films of 2013. Everything about this film is wrong. The story is unappealing and the comedy is grossly overdone.

You have a thug who constantly stalks the heroine and then challenges the villain that he'll be the one to remove the girl's sari and then take her to a honeymoon. Disgusting! I wonder if Prabhudeva was drunk when he made this film. Furthermore, the hero (or whatever) here acts more like a hoodlum. I know that he's made to play a hooligan but he totally lacks the virtue to win the girl.

R...Rajkumar sticks out as crass, vulgar and sick. The song "Gaandi Baat" aptly describes the sick mentality of the hero.

Shahid Kapur is an average actor and he is totally wasted in a cheap film like this. Sonakshi Sinha should START getting out of her 'desi girl' avatar. She is very bad in this movie and is getting type-casted in the 'village belle' type roles.

Overall, nothing works for R...Rajkumar. It seems Prabhudeva was out of his mind when he was making this film. I would've loved to see his magic recreated after Rowdy Rathod. But I was seriously disappointed.

I give it 3/10.

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.

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.

A decent crowd of all youngsters coming to the theater in its first show was quite a pleasant scene unexpectedly and further a few cheers on its opening titles with the catchy music forced me to accept that may be I was wrong in underestimating another typical masala film before its wide release.

But within an hour the whole scenario changed into something entirely different. The cheers went silent, mobiles could be seen flashing and the energy suddenly vanished into the thin year as the film turned out to be a complete dud with absolutely nothing to offer even to the die- hard fans of its famous cast and director (except the music). In few words, the experience was just like watching one of those routine South dubbed films regularly coming on the channels in a repeat mode when they have nothing else to play in their timeline. With neither anything new in the story department nor something novel in its execution, performances or direction, R… RAJKUMAR simply seemed to me as a loud, over-confident and careless work of a director who has probably formed a fixed outlook towards film-making and has also assumed that the viewers are just a bunch of fools who can convert any crap into a hit if presented with the right packaging, over the top action, fast edits and catchy music.

In fact to explain it differently, I would like to call R….RAJKUMAR a very COURAGEOUS film for the following strong reasons related to its entire team.

A. It is a courageous venture since it has been made with such a lame but confident mindset as if it is to be shown to all dumb men and women sitting in the theater who have not grown their minds and thinking patterns since decades (or since the 80s).

B. It is certainly a brave attempt by the director, who is fast moving on the path of losing his status of a LEGENDARY dancer & choreographer, with all repetitive dance direction and a pinch of vulgarity too in his 'Tapori' kind of steps (more noticed in the last 5-6 years of his career). Moreover, with almost nothing in the name of solid content in his recent films it seems that we are now having quite 'less read' directors around who really are unable or not capable of finding a good subject for their next ventures and just keep making the same kind of movies regularly taking their viewers for granted.

C. The film is a bold move by its leading male star visibly, who despite of giving continuous flops, still displays no intelligence to choose his next projects and also carries a lot of attitude and arrogance in his on screen portrayal of drama, action and comedy altogether.

D. It is a courageous step on part of its female lead too, who has now done exactly similar roles in so many films that probably she herself would not be able to recall any particular film if few selective shots are shown to her in a random order taken from her various films. Further, her expressions and mannerisms have such acute similarities that you often get a Deja-Vu kind of feel watching her repeatedly doing the same things again and again in her latest movie.

E. The project is surely a confident 'at your face' kind of attempt since it feels no shame in using lyrics such as "Achhi Baatein Karli Bahot, Ab Karunga Tere Saath, Gandi Baat" and "Kaddu Phatega To Sab Mein Batega" as its item numbers. No doubt there are some good tracks too like "Saari Ke Faal Sa" but here I wish to add that it seems to be quite weird that when a song has already been composed and arranged so well, then what's the need of getting it written in such a vulgar and silly manner, following a completely sick vision to gain some extra attention.

F. The film is also a courageous one, since the makers here show no respect, sympathy or admiration in using the veteran actor Asrani in a same routine act, shouting, laughing and babbling even at this age, wherein he even gets slapped more than once by Ashish Vidyarthi in an utterly useless or silly sequence.

Hence as mentioned in the above points, R….RAJKUMAR is surely a brave film made by a courageous team, who thinks as if they have mastered the art of fooling the audience and can make anything in the name of cinema served with few catchy songs. The film has its few moments lead by loud music but you must have the same amount of courage to sit through it till the end and would only be able to tolerate this if you a regular viewer of numerous low grade South dubbed films shown on the cable channels as their filler programs.
