R... Rajkumar (2013)

Never believe what paid critics have to say about any movie. R... Rajkumar was Shahid Kapoor's first full on Action movie and he did a phenomenal job! The colors and vibes of each song pulled you into a world of true love. SK pulled off every action scene flawlessly, you wouldn't even know that this was his first time doing any of these moves. R... Rajkumar perhaps was and is the 1st movie to show off how great of a dancer SK really is. Yes we all know SK can dance but when Prabhu Deva directs a movie and makes you dance you know your inter-talent will show through. And that's what happened with Shahid, every dance move was perfect to the T! There was still that lovable boy in Shahid character Romeo along with his comedy but that's what made his new avatar work and it worked for the best. Sonakshi Sinha role was great, aside from Lootera in this role we were able go she her in a different light. Finding for her love and never giving up. She shows she can act and not to judge her on her past roles. R... Rajkumar is a hit!

Fmovies: 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

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, RÂ… 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 RÂ….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 wel

R... Rajkumar fmovies. This is my first review, so excuse me for any mistakes. This movie starring Shahid Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha, has become one of my favorite in watch list. After Vivah, I didn't really like Shahid's character much in his latter films, but this movie changed my perception about him. He can become chocolate boy and dabangg boy when script requires. His expression, dialog delivery, tone, fighting scenes, attitude everything is damn good. Sonakshi fared very well in movie, great expression, some scenes are worth remembering and looked extremely beautiful. Good job Dabangg girl. Songs are good and worth watching once in a while. Even if story lacks unreal logic, its FULL ON entertainer. You can expect everything you want in a masala entertainment movie. Both Sonu and Shahid did justice to their roles. Fighting scenes are good, climax is unreal but great, chemistry is good too. Will give 8/10 for this underrated movie. If critics underrate it, it doesn't mean you won't like it. After all, everyone's got different taste.

RÂ…Rajkumar is an intense, funny and action packed romantic bollywood masala movie. The theatrical experience was good, this motion picture will hold you until the climax. Neither it meets perfection nor it will disappoint you. A must watch for anyone looking for entertainment. For those who look for a message or moral at the end of the story.. I am sorry to say, you can remove it from your WatchList. Not a great movie for film critics either. Music/Dance and screenplay was interesting, got to see something new finally. Action sequences are deeply inspired from south Indian cinema. Shahid has done justice to his role and as expected Sonu Sood did a pretty well job.

Seriously, what's wrong with them??!! Hello CRITICS, We love movies which we enjoy! we, AM JANATA, don't care about what is out of the text book in a movie, we only care about what works! AND THIS FILM RIGHT HERE FREAKIN... WORKSS!!! when are you guys gonna start reviewing a film from our point of view and stop misleading us?! Shame on you! There are people doing hard work for years to make a God damn film and you guys don't even hesitate to stab it on it's back mercilessly!

Okay, first of all, this is my first review in IMDb. I mostly come in here to see the reviews, watch the trailers and all. But after reading the reviews from our fellow PHYSICS PROFESSORS for this one, I just had to tell people the truth about this awfully underrated movie.

THIS IS A MIND BLOWING ENTERTAINER!!!It's funny and packed with action. Trust me! If you liked DABANGG,you'll love this one. This movie has every freaking element to make you fall in love with it. Honestly,even the lead actress had a strong reason to be in the movie,....unlike most of the recent bollywood outcomes where you wonder "what does she have to do with the film?"!

Shahid is charming, and a real combination of ROMEO and RAJKUMAR. He is not my favorite but he was really funny. And the fights may be "full of errors" to the reviewers with PHD in Experimental Physics. But I just looved the extremeness of the punches and kicks as well as the extremeness of his LOVE. And Sonakshi!! Boy o boy, SHE IS JUST SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL!!! Her dialogue delivery is so strong, that in some parts you'll be forced to realize that she is the future BEST FEMALE ACTOR. her "PYAAR PYAAR YA MAAR MAAR" look is just..... (out of words). Sonu sood is strong,ripped. his acting is good.Underutilized, but still looked damn EVIL in parts.

You guys already know how amazing the songs are.I love all of them. So don't trust the reviews where "THE SONGS ARE ALL RIGHT" line exists.

So, bottom line is, NEVER rely on the reviews.Go and see for yourself.This MASALA movie is worth watching twice. IT ACTUALLY DESERVES A 8/10 as there are flaws. few minutes after the interval IS a tiiiny bit boring.The climax scene is BIOLOGICALLY impossible. But I gave it full on 10 because it got so much unfair beating from the critics, it deserves more love from us now.

HATERS WILL HATE. GO WATCH IT. YOU"LL LOVE IT!!
