While the story is promising, the goings-on are drab and the humour is OTT. Suniel Shetty is strictly okay while Rajpal turns up his usual comic act. Besides that, the film has nothing to write home about.

Rowdy Rathore is Prabhudheva’s second Bollywood film after Wanted, and like the Salman Khan starrer which was easily a mass entertainer, this one treads a similar path. So, it’s 70 mm herogiri at its best, further multiplied due to the South ka tadka that comes both from Prabhudheva helming it, but more so since the film itself is a remake of the South film Vikramarkudu.
