Try
to visualize 12 minutes of bone cracking- neck breaking fight stunts, 10
minutes of absurdly insensitive & irksome concept of romance where the boy
does nothing but stalking the girl and 3-4 minutes of bum shaking- chest
popping dance sequences filled with pelvic movements & blended in with
equally annoying lyrics with no sense or sensibility! It is not hard I guess,
since we all have seen such formula lately in many 100 Cr club entries. Now,
multiply this whole formula with 5, add some credit rolls in the opening &
closing and whatever filth/waste you will take home is nothing but Prabhu
Dheva’s southern curry & sheer stupidity in the name of mass entertainment
called ‘R…RAJKUMAR’!
‘R…RAJKUMAR’
is the worst mash-up of all the ingredients required for a blockbuster. It has
action, it has drama and it has humor but lacks a good punch in the storyline
and the much-needed smart & skilled expert hands to mix it well. The
wafer-thin story doesn’t give much scope to shock & surprise you in every
sense. Romeo Rajkumar [Shahid Kapoor’s first & the most commercial attempt
to set the box-office ringing], a fearless rowdy working as the most promising
sidekick to Shivraj [Sonu Sood in an equal share of screen presence] falls in
love at the first sight with Chanda [Sonakshi gets repetitive in her typical
‘Dabangg’ avatar]. Game Changes when Shivraj’s lust for Chanda forces Rajkumar
to stand against his powerful master.
Film
doesn’t bother to show any kind of involvement of intelligence, sensibility or
respect, neither in writing nor in performances. Characters mouth dialogues
that start & end with harsh addressing sounds and with very little hints of
logics! Women here are just a material to own at any cost and even thrown in
the pool of gaming as the winner’s trophy. In performances, Shahid shows off
his upper hand in highly flexible moves for action & dance. Sonu also
succeeds in flaunting his well-built muscles and in some of the comic scenes.
Sonakshi should really need to work on her priorities in choosing roles. I fear
if this would land her in the league of forgetful actors. In others; from
Ashish Vidyarthi to Asrani, everyone else is as loud as they could be. Notice
if you can, Bharat Dabholkar wearing Merlyn Monroe printed Ties whenever he
appears on the screen and that could add some joy to feel in the wasteland of
tasteless entertainment.
In
the very climax, Shivraj beats & thrashes Rajkumar his guts out with metal
rods, wooden furniture and anything that comes in way! Our Romeo Rajkumar as he
is supposed to be in deep love; feels no pain or hurting…so do we but because of
the beatings and bashings we have been experiencing since the very start to become
numb till the time, to any kind of brutality.
In
other words or in better words if I choose to describe Prabhu Dheva’s ‘R…RAJKUMAR’, it would end up sounding like bam…bang…bash…biff…buff…bong…bonk…bop…clang…clank…crash…dong…fash…pock…plunk…shoop…shwap…swoosh…snap…slap…splat…throb…thud…thump…thung…thunk…tup…whack…wham…whop…whump
and zlopp! This weekend, be blessed-be safe-stay at home! [1.5/5]
