<p>Hindi (U/A)<br /><br />Cast: Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Yashpal Sharma <br /><br />Director: Prabhudeva<br /><br /></p>.<p>A film’s success can be gauged by the manner in which the filmmaker rolls his opening credits. If that be the benchmark, then Prabhudeva’s Rowdy Rathore can safely be declared a superhit from its first frame onwards – welcomed as it was with wolf whistles and catcalls which lasted three hours.<br /><br />Every true blue artiste’s career is marked by milestones, but there comes that one turning point which is ‘the defining moment’, the one film they will be remembered by – in Dilip Kumar’s case it is Mughal-e-Azam, in Amitabh Bachchan’s it is Zanjeer, in SRK’s life it is DDLJ, for Boman Irani it is Munnabhai MBBS, etc... you get the general drift. The artiste may be a ‘success story’ prior but henceforth – this is what he has immortalised himself with. In Akshay Kumar’s case, Rowdy Rathore is that ‘turning point’. It may just prove to be the pinnacle of his career. <br /><br />Forget the story, forget the nuances. Just step into the world of Vikram aka Rowdy Rathore who loves to twirl his moustache when making a point with witty one-liners and getting distracted by Sonakshi Sinha’s curvaceous frame.<br /><br />He makes a point both as Cop Rathore with his serious demeanour, or as Rowdy-Shiva (brilliantly funny) Rathore who ends up taking his place, when the former is killed by baddies.<br /><br />It seamlessly blends Akshay Kumar’s action image with his comic style and comes up a sure-shot winner. Rowdy... is one film that finally explains to the North Indian audiences why the South Indian film industry heroes/ heroines land up with temples in their names. <br /><br />Rowdy Rathore is Prabhudeva’s show all the way and he tells you in no uncertain terms that he can be so easily one-up on his Mumbai counterparts when given a free hand - thank you Sanjay Leela Bhansali and UTV for doing just that. With its catchy dialogues, songs, chemistry between the lead pair, or comedy offset by action and teary moments – Rowdy... is a complete, total entertainer.<br /><br />It is rare masala maar ke item which will sweep you off your feet and leave you asking for more. Don’t miss it.</p>
