Years back, Akshay Kumar had brought to Indian cinema some death-defying stunts. The actor who was then called an action star, starred in some hard core masala action flicks (the Khiladi series) which gave him the title of an action movie star. Critics wrote him off as a non actor who could only jump off high-rise buildings. In the last one decade, Akshay starred in some memorable films, including some rib-tickling comedies which not only catapulted him to a superstar status but also made many sit up and notice his acting capabilities. But somewhere, those death-defying stunts, those hard core action scenes were missed by his fans.

This one has two Akshay Kumar but is not half as entertaining. There is practically no physical or personality difference between the two, other than a tiny tweak to their moustache. Also the film never uses the double role formula to its advantage - neither are the two mutually interchanged nor are they together through the film. Mr. Rowdy just steps into Rathore's shoes in the final few reels and what we see is Singham summarized once again.
The story is as archaic as formula is to films. Vikram Rathore (Akshay Kumar) is an honest and courageous cop who fights against the wicked and vicious village gang-lord (Nasser). When he is killed, his look-alike Shiva, a smalltime thief, takes his place and comes to the village as Rathore to get even with the baddies.

We've seen it all before and apparently — going by the numbers generated byGhajini, Wanted, Dabangg, Bodyguard, Ready and Singham -- that's what we want. A good meaty chunk of pointless predictability, brutal violence avenged by even more sadistic violence, and one-liners than make no sense: everything serving only to prostrate the film at the feet of the star, making him the all-powerful messiah who can alone deliver us from boredom if we applaud loud enough.
So here's yet another assembly-line actioner, and, for what it's worth, it's not as awful, really.Sure, nothing justifies a 139-minute length, but Akshay Kumar carries both moustache and cop uniform better than his peers -- yes, I include Salman Khan in that comparison, the one whose clothes refuse to stay on -- and while both Khan and Ajay Devgn can competently scowl and maim (and make Lady Gaga claws, if need be), Kumar's way better at playing the fool.

Rowdy Rathore is the kind of movie that's made by people with a cash register in place of their brain. Because no legitimate reason, other than financial gain, can justify why this movie was made – it has no story or plot whatsoever, the characters are entirely forgettable, and it's so long and loud and silly that the laughs dry up early on. That the film has such impressive pedigree – it's produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, directed by Prabhudeva, and stars Akshay Kumar – is both baffling and shameful.

I don't know how many of you watched this Hindi dubbed Telugu movie in Zee tv, and its been aired from last 2 years but still reputed directors and producers re-make with top-notched actors. Entertainment values have gone shit, the concept is simple 'make movie which can run for 2 weeks' Khallas they make their money from every piece of product. Days are gone where the movies were realistic, fun filled and motivational.
