Storyline
Much earlier, in my review of Prabhudheva’s maiden venture Wanted, which got Salman Khan back in the game and allowed him to do many more masala entertainers and South remakes, I had stated that I love masala entertainers. Trust me, there’s nothing better than a cocktail of genres defying your otherwise potent logic when you leave your overworked brains behind to enjoy a movie that should provide nothing but (in the language of the well-remembered Silk, played by Balan in The Dirty Picture) “entertainment, entertainment, aur entertainment.”
And that’s exactly why I haven’t really shoved Sajid Khan’s outspoken logic of his films working, because he knows exactly what he’s doing when he’s making films that don’t require logic. With Akshay Kumar’s last Housefull 2 raking in huge moolah after Desi Boyz having decently performed at the box-office, he’s obviously expected to keep his record consistent after many pitfalls in the last two years. And this is when Rowdy Rathore makes its entry in a safe zone. And why do I say that? Well, the IPL season is over, and so movies can safely release without any fear of focus deviation (though this season we have also had some back to back hits like Vicky Donor, Ishaqzaade and Housefull 2). So does RR manage to win the hearts of the audience like Wanted did?
