R...Rajkumar' entertains at some levels, it suffers from utter plainness and predictability.
A rowdy Romeo falls in love with a village belle, but he has to fight the enemies of love - chachas, chamchaas and cronies - to take home his dulhaniya.(more)

R.. for Rubbish, zero star
Prabhu Dheva, with an extra 'h' in his name, has designed a film that gives us everything that Bollywood doesn't need at this point: a setting that has no roots (where is this village, who are these people?), an atmosphere brimming with viciousness, crudity, and misogyny (the lead female part is barter between men), and a hero who stands for nothing.(more)

The film is cinema of the most exhausting kind
'R... Rajkumar', directed by Prabhu Deva, is a film so relentlessly ugly, you have to wonder how it qualifies as entertainment of any sort. Like the worst video games, the action scenes here go on and on and on till your brain and your senses are numbed by all the stabbing and punching and pummeling. And just in case there's still a part of you that doesn't feel entirely abused, the film's crass humor will take care of that.(more)

known as the worst decade of Hindi cinema.
R� Rajkumar is ostensibly Prabhu Dheva's first non-remake Hindi film but you've seen it all before: a dialogue-spouting hero � his signature line is: "Silent hoja warna main violent ho jaunga"; assorted buffoonish villains; and a heroine, Chanda, played by Sonakshi Sinha, who gets tossed around between all of them.

There's an overdose of masala films
Prabhu Dheva has always excelled in the masala genre and that's the reason why he's labeled the king of entertainers, but a feather-light concept and predictable goings-on act as dampeners. Like I stated earlier, a few sequences/moments do manage to keep you attentive, but they're few and far between. One swallow does not a summer make! Dialogues too are serviceable, with a few clever lines integrated in the narrative.(more)
