Tujhe jab gussa aata hai toh tu chillaata hai, main.. udaata hoon. 


After a long time I have loved a Akshay Kumar film so much.. For a change, not only his performance was good, but the film was a complete entertainer too. Prabhu Deva as a director made best use of Akshay's action abilities, without making him speak comedy lines throughout the film like Nikhil Advani and Vijay Krishan Acharya did and miserably failed.

The plot is very common, its the screenplay, the punchlines and songs that entertains you throughout. There are places where Prabhu does slip off, some scenes get too over-the top. Also, I would had preferred a better villian, it would had been a better match up with Akshay scenes then.

The writing is good, with very good humour in comedy scenes. The background theme is excellent. The action scenes are well filmed, though the final action sequence was a let-down.. could had been more impactful.

Some of the best scenes for me were, 'tape rewind' sequences, 'I am back' filmi style Akshay returning to Devgarh, 'har jagah main dikhunga' sequence, 'Aap khiladi ko bhool gaye' dialogue scene, 'mujhe har waqt darr laga rehta hai' scene.

Songs are perfectly used. Prabhu's cameo dance is always a treat to watch. While Aa re Pritam Pyare is superbly choreographed. And special reference to that dance move on tune of 'Dhadang dhang', when Sonakshi calls Akshay inside her room.

Akshay Kumar is excellent, be it action, comedy, or some of the angry sequences. He should accept such roles more often.

Sonakshi Sinha does well, but one does feel that this was just a extended version of 'Dabangg' role. She displays her dancing skills a lot in the film, specially 'Chail chabeli' and 'Dhadang dhang'.

Ananya Nayak as small girl, was too cute.. specially that food scene where she sits on chair and looks at her father, and the hospital lori scene. Lovely!

Paresh Ganatra, is excellent.. his comic timing is superb. 'gussa nahi aa raha hai mujhko, nahiiiiii'.

Yashpal Sharma was good, rest supporting cast was decent.


Overall, Rowdy Rathore is a total entertainer, a film Akshay Kumar badly needed. Not only for a boxoffice success, but for those people who had been dissappointed by his last few films. He is back.


Verdict : VERY GOOD
