Rowdy
Rathore
has
a
storyline,
unlike
a
few
of
the
past
Bollywood
blockbusters
that
rode
heavily
on
customized
fight
sequences.
More
importantly,
Prabhu
Deva
has
the
pulse
of
the
audience.
This
one's
going
to
bring
the
house
down.
Akshay
gets
a
huge
canvass
to
display
action,
romance,
comedy
and
dance.
It
cannot
get
bigger
than
this
for
him!

Rowdy
Rathore
is
designed
to
magnetize
the
masses
in
hordes.
The
accurate
blend
of
action,
emotions,
drama
and
humor,
besides
a
superlative
performance
by
Akshay
Kumar,
makes
this
motion
picture
an
immensely
pleasurable
and
delightful
movie
watching
experience.
If
you
savor
typical
masaledaar
fares,
this
one
should
be
on
your
have-to-watch
listing
for
certain.
Dhamaal
entertainer!

Rowdy
Rathore
lives
up
to
its
name
in
creating
too
much
noise
for
no
reason.
It
also
marks
the
end
of
a
sensibility
called
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali.

Rowdy
Rathore
has
the
potential
to
set
the
cash
registers
ringing,
provided
it
delivers
what
it
promised.
Rowdy
Rathore
is
a
total
paisa
wasool
film.

Rowdy
Rathore
has
some
very
well-executed
action
scenes.
There’s
no
doubting
that
the
fun
in
these
remakes
of
South
films
is
directly
proportional
to
how
many
and
for
long
a
hero
can
beat
up
rogues.
To
be
rolling
on
the
floor
laughing
would
be
asking
for
too
much.
A
lot
of
the
comedy
seems
forced
and
Akshay
tends
to
ham
too.

The
thing
about
a
film
like
Rowdy
Rathore
is
that
it
lets
the
viewer
stay
a
step
ahead
of
the
action,
which
is
a
perfect
recipe
for
an
instant
connect
with
the
masses.
Riddled
with
an
array
of
loud,
lame
and
specious
contrivances,
Rowdy
Rathore
plays
out
pretty
much
like
a
comic-book
fantasy
rendered
in
the
form
of
a
live-action
film.
Go
for
it
if
you
must,
but
don’t
expect
the
earth
from
it.

It
can
hardly
be
called
a
film,
but
ah
well.
Watch
it
if
only
to
remind
yourself
of
old
Khiladi
flicks
and
remember
a
time
when
we
used
to
think
heroines
couldn't
get
any
plumper
or
sillier
than
Mamta
Kulkarni.
Ah,
naive
youth.
