Rowdy Rathore Movie Review

'Rowdy Rathore'; Akshay Returns With Another 'Khiladi' Kaper! 
Rating   3/5

After Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Ajay Devgn, it's the Khiladi Kumar's turn to go the Southern way, starring in another action-packed remake. Akshay Kumar stars in Prabhudeva's second wind in Bollywood, Rowdy Rathore, and he does so with élan; is that enough, though?

 The big news is that with Rowdy Rathore, Akki returns to his trademarked action avatar seven years after he was last seen in one, in 2004's Aan – Men At Work. The film is also Prabhudeva's second coming, three years after the Southie dancer-turned-director set the Bollywood box-office afire, helming the Salman Khan-starrer 'Wanted. This one's a remake too, that of S. S. Rajamouli's original Ravi Teja, Anushka Shetty-starrer Vikramarkudu, which has already seen success in Tamil as Siruthai, in Kannada as Veera Madakari and in Bengali as Bikram Singha.

 In Rowdy Rathore, what truly works in the film's favour is a combination of the two stars, Akshay's perfect timing, and Prabhudeva's fine-tuned southern sensibilities, which come together to make Rowdy Rathore an out-and-out entertainer.
 But then, the duo is treading on a double-edged sword, because what works for it, is also liable to alienate the more upwardly-mobile segment in Bollywood's cinegoing crowds. Of all the Hindi remakes of southern films, like Wanted, Singham and Ghajini, Rowdy Rathore is, perhaps, the one most sincere to its Telugu, Tamil roots, bringing along that trademark southern grammar in the over-the-top story, the extended flashbacks, the touches of sentimental melodrama and the hard-punching action, all tailored to fit Akshay perfectly.
 The story, though, might strike some as being quite illogical. When a roadside rowdy and thief, Shiva, Akshay Kumar, finds a little girl claiming to be his daughter, he finds that there might be more to the claim than meets his eye. He finds that he has a look-alike in the heroic ASP Vikram Singh Rathore, the saviour of a village near Patna that is under the thumb of a tyrant, Baapji, played by Southern actor Nassar. When Shiva suddenly finds things go awry, he has to abandon a budding romance with his love, Priya, played by Sonakshi Sinha, to go save Rathore's village.
 Though the film fits the Southern potboiler mould perfectly, some of the humour, like the banter between Shiva, and his accomplice 2G, played by Paresh Ganatra, might seem crass and flat to Hindi audiences. The same goes for the quickstep romance between Akshay and Sonakshi, that Prabhudeva seems to be in a hurry to get through. The over-the-top tyranny that the film's antagonist, Baapji, exhibits in his dealings with the village, instead, is comically anachronistic by Hindi standards, Bollywood having done away with these caricaturish Gabbar-type characters quite a while ago.
 However, where the film truly lights up is in the flashbacks featuring Akshay as Vikram Rathore, and in the climactic action sequences of the film. It's clear that fire is still burning within the erstwhile Khiladi, and in the film's super slickly-executed action sequences, Akshay is in his element.
 While Akshay is clearly the star of the film, playing the funny Shiva and the serious Vikram with equal ease and aplomb, Sonakshi Sinha as his romantic half manages to leave a fair mark as well, though this one is a much flimsier role that her debut hit, Dabangg. But the talented actress needs to pick up films that give her a better deal than this, if she is to rise to the industry's top tiers. The same goes for the other players here, with the likes of Yashpal Sharma and Paresh Ganatra wasted in tiresome roles. Nassar is unconvincing as Bihari don, Baapji, especially with a thick southern accent clouding his Hindi, while the other antagonist, Baapji's brother Tilla, played by another southie, Supreeth, has been dubbed for.
 Santosh Thundiyil brings some interesting touches to the visuals of the film with his cinematography, taking the camera right into the thick of things, especially during the fast-paced action sequences of the film.
 Though Sajid-Wajid do well on the music with some tracks, like Chinta-Ta-Ta Chita, on the others, especially with the likes of Dhadang Dhang and Chamak Challo Chel Chabeli, the sound seems quite outdated.
 Ultimately, Rowdy Rathore is a two-man show that is riding only on the backs of Akshay Kumar and Prabhudeva. While it has its faults, it's quite impressive that between the two of them Akshay and Prabhu do manage to make this film quite an enjoyable, paisa-vasool affair, and if nothing else, make it a must-watch, simply for the return of Kumar's Khiladi avatar...

Nargis Fakhri out of Khiladi 786

Poor Nargis has lost out on a role in Akshay Kumar’s next ‘Khiladi 786′. The reason being tat she’s apparently  too hot to play Mithun Chakraborty’s sister.
Mithun is playing the role of a gangster in the film and the team thinks that Nargis would never be able to look the part.
Initially, Mithun’s role was to be done by Amitabh Bachchan, who backed out citing health and date problems (*yawns*).There are no ill feelings between the two parties and that their parting is amicable.
The filmmakers are still hunting for a female lead. The film goes on the floors in June and it’s being produced by Himesh Reshammiya. It’s being directed by debutante Ashish R. Mohan.
P.S. Isn’t it weird that they initially they thought that Nargis would fit in the role of Amitabh’s sister? She’s of her daughter’s age, no?

 The shooting will begin in June and the actress is very excited to grab the project. "She is very happy. It was not easy for her after Rockstar where Ranbir got all the praise. Khiladi 786 is not a small film. Moreover, Akshay has had a big hit in Housefull 2 only recently. All this adds to her excitement", Nargis’s friend has been quoted as saying.
 A close friend of the actress added, "She will be donning ultra-glam clothes in the film. It's a very sexy avatar."
 To stay in the competitive world of Bollywood, Nargis definitely requires a hit.

Kareena's special appearance in 'Rowdy Rathore'

"Rowdy Rathore" starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha is probably one of the most anticipated films of 2012. Produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and UTV Motion Pictures, Rowdy Rathore, which features Akshay Kumar in a double role, is a remake of Telugu film Vikramarkudu. Prabhu Deva is directing Akshay for the first time in this mass masala entertainer.Now the latest buzz is that Kareena will be doing a special appearance in a song in "Rowdy Rathore". Ever since her item number Chammak chhallo topped the charts, it seems Kareena Kapoor can’t stop dancing. She even experimented with mujra in her recent release, Agent Vinod. And now, taking the dance fever ahead, she will be seen doing a special appearance for a song in Rowdy Rathore. Says a source associated with the project, “It’s a very tapori number starring the lead actors, Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha. The duo will be seen dancing on the streets of Mumbai doing dhinchak steps. To suit the tapori avatar, Sonakshi will be seen in a vibrant salwar-kameez and Akshay will be flaunting a colourful shirt and a pant.” The informer further adds, “The surprise element would be a hot and chic Kareena appearing in the middle of the song, looking all dapper in western attire.”

 And not only that, ace dancer and director of Rowdy Rathore, Prabhudeva will also be seen shaking a leg in the same song. However Prabhudeva and Kareena will not dance together, they both will appear at different points in the song.

 Akshay Kumar is back to action after seven years with this mass masala entertainer. Akshay Kumar has been working on some of the most back-breaking stunts to ensure that the remake of the Telugu film Vikramarkurdu turns out to be far slicker and riveting than the original.

 "Rowdy Rathore" is slated for release on 1st June 2012.
