Raja Natwarlal
reveiw by
ANIZ FILMVALA
*****
Emraan Hashmi in
a con man act yet again with nuance of emotion and aggression, this star is in
no mood to break away from his formula of doing tricky characters of grey shade.
His one man army attitude and ruling on the Box Office against the giants of
Bollywood pashas is not hidden, has he done it again !!! Well next three days
and his fan following will prove it [whatever the critics verdict].
The plot nothing
great Raja[Emraan] a local street smart swindle with ability to thrive on petty
bamboozle on streets of Mumbai with his associate Raghav [Deepak Tijori] .
Distressed about
not gaining a fast access towards her love Ziya [Humaima Malik] a bar dancer
where Raja blows his booty daily, but is dwarfed by a rich marwadi leaving him infuriated
about his money mess. Sometime later he encounters a conversation of two
drunkards about to deliver a big booty which alarms him to a big desire to
become rich in a wink.
A master plan is
worked out to swipe the big cash [80 lacs] away from the crooks and they
succeed but it leads to mayhem as the actual possessor is nonetheless but a don
Vardha Yadav [KK].The consequence Raghav is eliminated in no time thus leaving
Raja in turmoil of taking a vengeance of his brothers killing.
As Raja leaves the
city and heads towards Dharamshala to get help of a Yogi [Paresh Rawal] an ex
con and Raghav’s real brother to join him to avenge his brothers death. Yogi
takes Raja under his command and brushes him up to sharpen his conning skills, Yogi forms a squad of con from different parts
to pin down Vardhas Empire, as they make a plan to allure him to buy a made up cricket
team of Ahemdabad Avengers which a dream he has been nurturing to be a owner of
a team one day. The hoopla begins to deceive the Don with some intriguing moments
and a happy ending.
A Emraan Hashmi
movies is always equipped with hit tracks but famous Tamil film composer Yuvan
Shankar Raja disappoints. Director Kunal Deshmukh has a penchant towards
Cricket since his debut Jannat, but in Raja Natwarlal he has not register the
passion of the sports which he suave in Jannat.This will be his unremarkable
effort gone awry to be in the league of classy con movies made worldwide.
