Ashdoc's movie review---Rowdy Rathore

Devgad is crying out in pain in pain.....

Because Baapji and his evil minions are ruling the land.....

And if they dont even hesitate to kidnap a policeman's wife to satisfy their lust , what can be said about the condition of the common man.....

And their goons are everywhere in Devgad perpetuatating Baapji's tryanny , even on the raliway station where they bully the passengers into paying huge amounts of money after first taunting them with lewd jokes of course......

The situation yearns for the arrival of a messiah , a protector---who will protect the weak and the meek and deliver justice Akshay Kumar style ( which many times feels like Rajanikant style reverse engineeered for a hindi film , but we will not mind that.....err , did some one say '' mind it '' ? )

And hey presto !!...... even before the fast train coming into Devgad station comes to a halt the deliverer of justice jumps from it ,and his name is police officer Vikram Rathore aka Rowdy Rathore.....

He immediately shows the whole town his mettle by beating the goons on the railway station with sugarcane sticks after stripping them till they beg to him for mercy.......but before that he puts earphones on his daughter's ears so that she hears sweet music while he punishes the goons.....very caring of his daughter our Rowdy......

And then Rowdy Rathore uses some matrix like special effects fights to bring to book Baapji and send Baapji's cruel son into the clouds.....but not before the director has first shown us an item number in Baapji's den with three delicious babes gyrating in tandem......ah ha !!

But Baapji has a powerful protector in the govt minister who helps him and eventually Baapji gets the better of Rowdy and kills him , or so he thinks.....

Rowdy has only one wish in life---to die smiling while doing his duty tweaking his mustache on and on......and so he dies as he wishes tweaking his mustache on and on , but not before he has sent a few bad men to hell where they belong......
So his wish is granted.....

But who will take care of the daughter who cries out for her papa ??
No worries , in the big city is his lookalike Shiva who may be a thief but is going to leave thievery ( already ?? so early in his thief's career ?? ) because he loves the lovely damsel of saris fame and backless blouses fame and above all exposed navel fame---Sonakshi Sinha.....
......And Shiva and Sonakshi will take care of Rowdy's daughter.....

But the audience demands more fights and more entertainment.....

So Shiva steps into Rowdy's shoes and jumps from the train coming into Devgad station just in the same way as Rowdy does before the train stops.....

......And voila !! The terror of Rowdy's name is such that the moment Baapji's goons on the railway station see Rowdy's lookalike stride majestically out of the station , they themselves strip down humbly for a repeat sugarcane beating......seeti anyone ?? no the multiplex I had gone to see the movie in has decent crowd and whistling is not allowed.....

And Shiva sets out to finish Rowdy's task of cleaning the town off Baapji's men.....but not before he and Sonakshi do a vigorous song and dance full of jhatkas and matkas---now thats a must.....

And clean the town Shiva does ; in true khiladi style.....blowing up Baapji's illegal factories boom boom with bombs before delivering the killer punch......

But this does not happen before Sonakshi is kidnapped by Baapji's sidekicks and brought to his den.....
What disappointed me here was that she was not made to dance here----why no '' basanti een kutto ke saamne mat naachnna '' moment ?? whyy ??

But never mind......Sonakshi has already shown us enough of her navel and back to make us forgive the director for this perfidy.....

And Shiva has delivered enough jokes comedy action romance emotion baap-beti ka pyar and dhishoom dhishoom ......

Verdict---full-to masala entertainment .

Didn't read your review. Coming back from the theatre. Loved it! Seeing akshay kumar doing real action after a long time! With just the right comedy. Story never gets boring, ok except maybe for 5-10 minutes when he was wooing her and there were a couple of songs in quick succession but it picked up the pace quickly and kept you engaged through the end. Great movie by prabhu deva and Sonakshi sinha is hot!

The review of that movie were terrile.

Little more about Rowdy Rathore. The story has a lot of loopholes and duds and so-illogical plots, mostly designed to keep the audience guessing, but once you have seen the whole movie, those individual scenes made no sense, not that anyone cared. But still overall, entertaining performances by all.

Prabhu Deva just directed the Hindi version - the Original script, story and direction was of a Telugu movie - Vikramarkudu.This is the synthe-gration we should be talkin about. F that. No.

Second half was more interesting...

Sonakshi needs to brush up on her acting skills..
