Prabhu Deva in his usual way, does an action-comedic-romantic film that keeps us engaged through out the film. These are classed as "Masala" films, due to their tastefulness towards the Indian masses. Prabhu Deva, the director, has made four Bollywood films (including this one) and they have all been loved. Wanted, Rowdy Rathore and now R... Rajkumar, their action is typical Prabhu-esque! While being clever with his methods of people being beaten up. The film is shot excellently! The cinematography is just so clean and wonderful!
This film is definitely not for everyone. You might realise that from the vast number of negative reviews but seriously, its a full-on entertainer. Why does it have to make sense? There are so many films like "Chennai Express" that have received praise...but they were utter rubbish!
During the film you will not feel bored. You may feel as though the film is stupid and pointless, but at the end, there is a message, like you always find in Prabhu Deva films. I personally really enjoyed the film! While watching it, I didn't care if the roles had enough depth or not because everyone portraying their specific roles expressed themselves so well that I just understood their character. Some things in the film have been repeated like the typical taglines that Shahid Kapoor says, like "Silent ho ja, warna mein violent ho jaaon ga" and Sonu Sood with his "Mein sehat keh liye buhat haanikaarak hoon". These catchphrases have become a new trend in Bollywood...though annoying, you do lose sight of it as you get involved with the film.
Shahid Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha surprisingly work out very well as an on-screen pair and their chemistry can obviously be seen. Shahid Kapoor plays Romeo Rajkumar brilliantly but he doesn't have much to work with. He portrayed exactly what the role required. Sonakshi Sinha, as per usual, she starts by beating the daylights out of disrespectful men. When Rajkumar stalks her, she tries to drive him away with a nonsensical song (that is quite a fun-filled song to be fair). Like always, her character always falls in love with the "guy" who stalks her character and acts all tough. Sonu Sood is a terrific actor, especially in negative roles. His portrayal of evil is quite exact to how people expect him to be. Asrani, like always, is enthusiastically dull, with his "haha" and hyper acting that does not seem to entertain.
Brilliant choreography by Prabhu Deva and all the other related choreographers of this film. Dance moves that Shahid Kapoor hasnever attempted... he has been put through "hell" for these moves and he does not disappoint! The story is well crafted by Prabhu Deva, dialogues are witty and very well timed. R... Rajkumar develops into a slightly unexpected story but eventually leads to its usual conclusion...also known as, a typical Bollywood climax.
Personally, I extremely enjoyed the film, to the shock of a lot of people. If you like "Masala" films, please watch it. If you do not... still give it a whirl. You may be surprised.
