"Don't Angry Me"

It seems that every Bollywood actor (read superstar) needs a role of a fearless cop with a lot of action scenes in his platter, a pinch of romance, some teaspoons of comedy and added masala (a twist) to regain their "popularity dish". Rowdy Rathore is another such film which marks Akshay Kumar's comeback to action films; one was Chandni Chowk (to China or whatsoever, never mind). A remake of the Telugu blockbuster film 'Vikramarkudu' stars Akshay Kumar, Akshay Kumar (again) and Sonakshi Sinha in lead roles.
Shiva (Akshay No.1) , a small-time crook leading a happily 'crooked' life falls in love with Paro (Sonakshi Sinha) who also starts loving him. His life turns upside down when he meets a small girl who recognises him as her father (Heyy Baby? NO). Shiva finds out that the girl's father Vikram Rathore (Akshay No.2)  is actually his look alike (and Thank God not a lost twin brother) and a fearless cop who has a back story of destroying some outlaws who now wants to kill Vikram and his daughter. The story has all those elements which are necessary to make the film a blockbuster today no matter if we've been watching similar stories since ages. Akshay Kumar is as good in his role of Vikram Rathore as irritatingly he performs a "chinta chita" humming idiotic role of Shiva. Akshay Kumar seriously needs to think about choosing his roles (he's a brilliant actor if used well). Sonakshi Sinha once again has absolutely nothing to do in the film (how can you even think of a female performance in a masala flick) and her part looks forced in the storyline. Nassar as 'Baapji' looks naturally menacing and Paresh Ganatra as '2G' is funny as always.
When the choreographers jumps into the field of direction you know the film's going to shake you up and it does ('Wanted' was still better). Shiraz Ahmed's screenplay (which at times looks very much forced) is no match with his past few works (Race, for one). Santosh Thundiyil's cinematography is good as always, editing has no scope, music is average (though Sajid-Wajid calls "Aa re 'Pritam' pyaare", he wouldn't come). Rowdy Rathore is nor 'Dabangg' neither 'Singham' but it takes a route between them and stands alone as an Akshay Kumar-entertainer. Made on the budget of Rs. 40 crores, it had already collected Rs. 66 crores (in 4 days) making it a blockbuster (sadly and madly). After watching the film you'll get to know one thing for sure : Sanjay Leela Bhansali is badly in need of money after making sensible films like 'Guzarish'.
