Nice effects though.

Just so...so bad

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

After films like Rowdy Rathore, Prabhudheva is back with another entertainer R...Rajkumar. The film is a full on mass entertainer with great entertainment for everyone. There is no doubt that Prabhudheva can not fail with films like this.The story is like the one inspired from South Indian classics and this flavor is visible even in the action scenes, dialogues and music as well. This is the flavor which I wanted, and happily, I got it! Thanks to Prabhudheva for making such an entertaining movie. I have even purchased the DVD of the movie, although I have already it. Every thing in the film is good. The story it has is also very good. And wait! I forgot to mention Shahid Kapoor, who is the real hero of the movie. After His previous entertainer Phata Poster Nikhla Hero, he has given another entertainer with a good performance.On the whole,R...Rajkumar is a solid entertainer with powerful mass elements like action, music, romance, drama, comedy all perfectly placed at right placed. Watch it, you will surely love it!

I was very surprise to see how a film can perform equally good and equally bad in two different halves. First Half was excellent, Good acting, well choreographed action sequences and brilliant songs. 2nd half is as pathetic as you can never believe how a script can change from brilliance to awful. The story, scenes everything seems exhausted and film was just dragging in the and I was hoping let the misery end soon. acting wise everyone was good and specially Shahid Kapoor this is his best performance till date and after giving rows of flops this was a life saviour for him. Sonakshi and Sonu Sood were equally good and rest of the cast was well supported. Prabhudeva has proved himself that he is one of the best masala director. Film is entertainer but only till first half. if you want to take good memories of this film leave after intermission, believe me you won't be missing anything except few pathetic scenes and predictable climax.

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!

Right from the first scene where a flying Shahid Kapoor's wrist deflects a bullet, you know he is venturing into sacred territory- Rajni Saar territory. What follows is partly entertaining, and partly unbearable, in short as inconsistent as Air India flights, but is definitely not as bad as the media has made it out to be. If anything, R..Rajkumar is just as banal as Boss, Himmatwala, Besharam, Grand Masti, Race 2 and other such stalwarts released this year.Pyar pyar pyar, ya maar maar maar- is the motto of Romeo Rajkumar (Shahid Kapoor) , who lands up one fine day in Dhartipur, which is ruled by two warring bad guys- Gurjar (Sonu Sood) and Parmar (Ashish Vidyarthi). He initially sides with Gurjar, but both of them fall in love with Parmar's niece, sparking off a clownish game of oneupmanship between the two, leading to a brutal and bloody end. Even though it is not a remake, the rest of the movie is standard Southern masala action fare- gravity defying stunts, multiple slow motion cuts, lungi clad goons, a few catchy songs, romance and melodrama. The first half passes away rather breezily, but the film falters badly post interval- everything in it never seems to end- the fights, the songs, the repetitive dialogs.Shahid Kapoor is at his sincerest. He dances well, fights even better, and puts on his best lovestruck Romeo act, but such a larger than life character is beyond his wiry shoulders. Sonakshi Sinha is again the familiar annoying village belle- the one role she has perfected. She is two heroines for the price of one, alternates between the scowl and the shy- and takes a beating like a man. Sonu Sood is at his hammiest worst, and Ashish Vidyarthi is reduced to rather sad comedy.It is hard to find positives in R..Rajkumar. Initially the R was supposed to stand for Rambo, but later changed to Romeo. It somehow felt that director Prabhu Dheva lost sense of the characters midway- whether to make an all out action film, or to make a romantic one. To go full on emotion, or get some comedy on. The end product has a bit of all, but the soul of none. At the end the only thing worth talking of is the style with which Rajkumar beats the living daylights of however stands in his way. Is that worth the price of admission? A definite no- 5/10
