Rowdy Rathore (2012)

Another commercial from director 'Prabhudeva'. The movie is hopeless right from the beginning. It becomes a little interesting in the flash back where Assistant Commissioner Of Police Vikram Rathore shines. (Only for the claps of Akshay fans.........). The story is about a sincere cop played by Akshay who fight against a local landlord 'goonda' in Devgarh of Patna (Bihar state) district. He fights hard but fails to stand against the power of the villain and politicians though he could kill villains son in the form of an accident. Then comes the double acting of Akshay,the hero. The other akshay is a thief who gets a box which contains ACPs daughter. Looking similar, the girl assumes him as her father. When the thief comes to know about the full story he comes back to Devgarh in ACPs uniform and eliminates all the villains. Sonakshi plays as thief Akshay's lover and is wasted. Prabhudeva knows the pulse of audience. All action scenes are identical to the ones in Telugu/Tamil films. The director knows north Indians wouldn't have seen them. So it can be sold. His first Hindi film 'Wanted' with salman was much better than this. Don't watch 'Rowdy Rathore' unless you are a hard fan of Akshay (or Sonakshi) or you have never seen a south Indian action movie... Don't apply any logic anywhere. The film is a pure entertainer for the masses and if you are a serious film buff, leave your brain back home to watch this. There isn't any logic in plot and there are N number of mistakes in every scene. So stop pointing out that as I think director also knows about that.

Its actually difficult even to wonder how this movie scored something more than twelve crore, leave aside One Twenty Crore.Had it not been for movies like these, Indian Cinema would loose the tag of absurdity that dignifies its existence.Bad bad bad acting, I wish Prabhudeva stops directing movies now, that will be of great help. First Wanted and then this, its so much a man can take dude! Akshay Kumar is a Director's man, and somehow he gets enough of bad directors to work with, sic! Sonakshi Sinha some how succeeds in disappointing with her bad acting skills, does she even have any acting skills? Lets not talk about that! She looked damn beautiful, that was the best thing in the entire movie a real Indian Beauty Most of the songs were uncalled for, bad, most of the fighting scenes were mismanaged, and despite all these draw backs, this movie is a major hit and we call it masala movie, good.What I couldn't understand is Sanjay Leela Bhansali produced this movie. Really? Of course he has made Saawariya after all.I would differ from what I had rated this movie earlier on: 4.5 3.7/10

Meaningless Disgusting Crap made just to earn profit. I don't really understand the concept of these movies,why are they liked in masses. They just followed the trend like previous bollywoods hits i.e Dabang and Singham - A Strong armed Police officer with mustaches. Wearing Aviator framed Shades, Tamil Fight action scenes. Senseless Dialogues repeated in every 15mins. Idiotic emotional drama. Idiotic Villain. Cheap Item song to attract pervert crowd. Akshay Kumar is a respectable person and a good actor,I really used to like him.God only knows why he's selecting such types of movies PS- The movie was so dumb actually made me write a review for the first time.

If anything is to say about this movie .... Everything is Loud & Extra ! Extra Action, Extra Songs, Extra Sound, Extra Dialogues, everything is just loud & extra.May be that takes this movie to take great ups & great downs, there is no such thing in between.This is typical Bollywood movie with good songs, great action, some emotions BUT with south Indian touch.The movies takes following ups & downs of your likes, Don't like: First 30-40 mins story doesn't take even a start. Unnecessary songs, Akshay going behind Sonakshi is not that entertaining (& unnecessary) that makes you feel sad (for tickets)Like: Once the story gets starting then there is no stopping, at least for some time. Yes, till intermission you actually get involved in movie. There is not sonakshi & any other dramas, just a story.Don't Like: After intermission, movie still goes to the first part of unnecessary things happening, movie going bit slow & no where near the story things happen.Like: Yes, the end part or climax, this is again coming back to story & see lots of action & fun.It's really nice to see Akshay in this role, following Salman. Truly Akshay's best movie in recent times. Akshay has taken the part very seriously & reminds KHILADI !Sonakshi ... really don't know why she is in movie, but Bollywood film & without actress .. can't imagine, may be that's why she has done her job of looking cute & nice. But sometimes, she looks Rowdier than Akshay (specially in dance steps)Other South Indian Actors have done a BAD job in showing their BIHARI tones ....Those are laughing moments !Anyway, if you want to watch a bollywood movie, this may be good movie in recent years....Overall 6/10 !
