I now loathe Prabhu Deva more than ever after I read how he despised Sylvester Stallone for not letting him use the word "Rambo" in the title. That is so dumb & immature of the director, who with R... Rajkumar & Ramaiyya Vastavaiyya is not only out from Bollywood but also proves he is a contemptible person.
Coming to the movie, thank heavens the word "Rambo" was not used. Instead, doing away with Romeo is just so lame. Romeo Rajkumar? Really? Well, the plot is a no-brainer. What happened to that cute, composed Shahid Kapoor? In here, he is worse than a Japanese cartoon character with expressions making me wanna puke. Sonakshi Sinha is raking the moolah, but is it worth? Sonu Sood has turned into a machismo brand villain a la Prakash Raj. With very bad cast performance & an even ridiculous story, the film just hangs in its own dead cell rope. And moreover, it heavily samples from south Indian movies.
The songs are good, all right. But whatever happened to dialog delivery? With a single dialog being used more than 3 times is the testimony to how creativity has died in Bollywood. No originality, no substance. Towards the climax, the plot defies everything: from science to logic.
BOTTOM LINE: The film has no chance and with 150-minute running time... every penny you spend for it would be better off to an orphanage. Avoid at all cost! Unless you are a roadside, daily wage worker who enjoys the idea of Shahid Kapoor seeing the frontal nudity of his love. Terrible!
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO
Profanity/Vulgarity: Mediocre | Violence/Gore: very Strong
