"Shahar mein aayenge toh garmi thodi badh jaayegi..." ... Wow !!
These dialogues struck a very strong note in my mind when I saw this movie's trailers for the first time.
Out of 4 P's, the promotion has obviously been very good for this movie ;-)
(Obviously I chose it over the "R..Rajkumar" ... mujh jaise gande bande ko aur kitni gandi baat sikhayenge :D )
Plot: A struggling unemployed (and seeking one!) amateur outlaw Raja Missra (Saif) crashes into a wedding uninvited where he meets Rudra (Jimmy). 4 Hours and 4 pegs brings them so close that Raja jumps into a gun-gang fight to save Rudra and his side of kins. A bond gets sealed and the daring-duo "Raja-Rudra" forms up which teams up with the strongest king-maker Ram-Babu Shukla (Raj Babbar) and then on instrcutions of Shukla ji, they both go onto kill all the ill-intented enemies. But in this spree, they step on the tail of a rich industrialist named Bajaj (Gulshan Grover) and simultaneously bump into the over-fed Bong-babe Mitali (Sonakshi) who charms her way into Raja's heart.
All seems to be going great till Bajaj reappears with a contract killer Sumer Yadav (Ravi Kissen) to tick off Rudra from his hit-list. Raja vows revenge and kills Bajaj. In comes ACP Arun Singh (Vidyut Jamwal - "Force" fame) to counter and kill Raja...Rest is for you to discover, if you plan to.
Seems typical UP-Bihar meets Bollywood masala movie. And that's what it is.
Strengths: Jimmy Shergill, Saif, Vidyut, Action, Dialogues, Happy-Climax.
The 3 main young turks - Jimmy, Saif and Vidyut rock the screen whenever they are on it. Action is power packed and looks realistic. Dialogues are the main attraction. Special credit to the one which Saif smirks and says to an all pumped up Vidyut who is following him up "Tum kaun ho bey ? Dekh rahe haine tab se ... bahut excited ho ??"
Weaknesses: Sonakshi, Songs, Raja and Rudra doing some monkey antics in a song to decimate opposition parties' political rallies, bad-timing and irrelevance of some dialogues, hackneyed story line in 1st half.
Sonakshi seriously needs to go Bipasha (read size zero) way else she'll be soon turning into a typical Rakhi/Meena Kumari/Nirupa Roy kind of actress. Songs in the movie are more of a desperate attempt to look like a UP Bihar inspired chutney but they disengage from intent of movie on whole. I opine that best UP Bihar songs, shown recently, were in fact made by a Marathi babe - Sneha Khanvilkar (Gangs of Wasseypur). Wonder why Tigmanhsu didn't take her in this one ? Sajid Wajid suck, period.
Overall, the movie has a confused plot in 1st half, goes onto gain some strength in 2nd half. Climax is good. Actors are fine. Story is simple one.
You can watch it max once if you can tolerate an over-dose of ego-clashes of people who don't think twice before shooting from their hip :D
Rating-2.5*
