ajay_727 One of the best Bollywood films I've seen in very long time. Even my teenage sons enjoyed. It had both comedic and action elements in this title. And I would highly recommend this title too anyone. Akshay Kumar's performance in this title was amazing. Do not listen to the bad reviews. They just do not know how to review a great movie. Definitely better than most of the Bollywood junk out there. Overall it's a great movie for the whole family to enjoy and contains humorous parts throughout the whole of the film. This is accompanied with a blend of comedic action, That really makes this film great. I would definitely recommend this. A great Bollywood flick!

raja-mishra7 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

Saad Khan Rowdy Rathore – CATCH IT (A) Rowdy Rathore is a Full time Paisa wasool movie. From past 3-4 years Akshay Kumar has been delivering some awful movies except Housefull2. And this time he is in full foam in double role as we have never seen him before. I think the credit solely goes to Prabhu Deva who made such a fun entertaining movie. Akshay Kumar is Brilliant both as angry young man and a comedian. Sonakshi Sinha is pretty and looks great with Aksahy Kumar. The music and choreography of the movie simply amazing, I have not heard a single song from the movie before watching it and it still sticks in my head especially " Chin ta ta Chita Chita", Aa re pritam pyaare & Chikni kamar pe teri". After Salman Khan's Dabangg this has to be the best action masala movie in this genre. Must watch it, sometimes it's better to watch a movie which is a full time entertainment.

bobbysing A regular film-goer can recall several films from the recent past with a great first half and a not so happening second. And in most of the cases such films fail to make any major impact on the viewers as well as on the box office. But if a film goes the other way round then it has the most favourable chances to win over the audience.Luckily Prabhudeva's second directorial venture in Bollywood, produced by UTV and Sanjay Leela Bhansali comes in the latter category of movies with a fairly good second half as compared to its first. Following the sole motive of entertaining the viewers (keeping aside the logics), the director is mostly successful in its aim due to many engaging sequences post intermission full of action. And that is what actually saves ROWDY RATHORE from going on to a negative path.An almost exact remake of Telugu Hit VIKRAMARKUDU (2006), which was also remade in many other languages, RR strictly follows the path of its original without any new or major alterations made by Prabhudeva. He remains focused on the entertainment factor throughout but in the process makes an uneven film before and after the interval which drops at several places when it comes to emotional drama in the script. To explain the experience of watching it in its two halves, just imagine sipping an above average soup before going for the main meal at your dinner table. So, the first half of RR is like an OK starter with three fine toppings of a fresh & ravishing Sonakshi Sinha, few comic sequences of Akshay and 3 enjoyable well choreographed songs which don't let you write off the film right away. It starts off with a calm first hour stressing more upon the romance and less on the basic plot. But then Prabhudeva comes up with an energetic 15 minutes just before the interval which pull everyone back into the film forcing them to expect something much better in its next hour.Post intermission RR suddenly becomes an enjoyable ride with some well directed action sequences reminding you of the good old cinema of 70s which followed entertainment without any logic. In fact this better part of the film can easily be compared to a Manmohan Desai kind of attempt made in the South with fast paced sequences coming one after the other without giving you any time to think. For instance, the conman replaces the Inspector (Akshay in double role) without any hassles or questioning, the heroine follows him to the same small remote area as her parental town, the child simply accepts the second Akshay as her father without raising any doubts, there is no information given about her mother and the villains are easily beaten badly by a single man with his amazing power. But despite of all these glitches, the narration keeps you entertained with its funny one liners and well edited action scenes, not giving you anything to complain particularly in its second half. So if you love watching escapist kind of cinema, just for entertainment as earlier seen in Rohit Shetty's SINGHAM, then you would love Akshay returning to his action mood. Yet ROWDY RATHORE is not another WANTED delivered by Prabhudeva with a weaker first half.Therefore as a director, I cannot comment upon Prabhudeva's ability since he has only made "Strict Remakes" in Bollywood till now. The dancing maestro very well knows how to keep the viewers engaged and entertained in his movies. But how he would handle the same entertainment quotient in his own original project remains doubtful. Nevertheless in RR he takes ample support from both the fine cinematography and an energetic background score to generate a universally likable impact till the end. Also the action showcased in the film further helps him in generating a positive final result in a big way.Musically Sajid-Wajid have done a nice job but again they cannot take the whole credit here as the main track of the film "Chinta Ta Chita Chita" remains a true adaptation of its original Telugu song from VIKRAMARKUDU (2006). However both singer Mika and the Choreographers (Saroj Khan, Prabhudev & Bosco Martis) really deserves a special mention here, since the songs become hugely watchable just because of their great dancing steps complimenting the beats.Akshay returning to his favourite action genre entertains the masses both as a conmen and a police officer. But undoubtedly, he makes a much better impact post interval in all those action and confrontations scenes. Still, RR may not be able to generate the same response for him as WANTED did for Salman (which was appreciated by both critics as well as masses). The pleasant package of the film is Sonakshi Sinha who looks ravishingly fresh & beautiful on the screen, more than her pictures circulating in the print media. She definitely has a strong screen presence but only requires a good author backed role to prove her acting talent. Nassar once again excels in his role of the main villain with a superb portrayal of the Bad Man. Mushtaq Khan provides few lighter moments in the second half and Yashpal Sharma impresses in his helpless character. Both Paresh Ganatra as Akshay's friend and Gurdeep Kohli as the lady inspector are fine but Gurdeep surely becomes a victim of step treatment given by the writers.In all ROWDY RATHORE satisfies you mid-way with only a great & entertaining second half wherein Akshay performs in his full form as the action hero. But with less romance and more action thrown in the first half it could have been another WANTED for the director without any doubts. So for now, it may get a mixed response with a particular section of viewers (who love watching Manmohan Desai kind of cinema) appreciating it a lot and another slamming it down for its logics taken for a ride.
