Mindless film
Aside from a few moments of inspired lunacy from the film's leading man � who can do this part in his sleep (and probably did!) � Rowdy Rathore comes off as nothing more than a cheap attempt to rob moviegoers of their money! (more)

Aimed at the masses
Riddled with an array of loud, lame and specious contrivances, Rowdy Rathore plays out pretty much like a comic-book fantasy rendered in the form of a live-action film. Go for it if you must, but don�t expect the earth from it. (more)

Rowdy Rathore has old Khiladi, no new tricks
It can hardly be called a film, but ah well. Watch it if only to remind yourself of old Khiladi flicks and remember a time when we used to think heroines couldn't get any plumper or sillier than Mamta Kulkarni. Ah, naive youth. As for you, Akshay, carry on up the Khiladi.(more)

Dhamaal entertainer!
ROWDY RATHORE is designed to magnetize the masses in hordes. The accurate blend of action, emotions, drama and humor, besides a superlative performance by Akshay Kumar, makes this motion picture an immensely pleasurable and delightful movie watching experience. If you savor typical masaledaar fares, this one should be on your have-to-watch listing for certain.(more)
