The story is handpicked from the land of opium growers where the age old rivalry between Shivraj (Sonu Sood) and Parmar (Ashish Vidyarthi) is the norm of the village named Dhartipur. Shivraj strikes gold when he hires a man Romeo Rajkumar (Shahid Kapoor) who is neat with his work and beats zestfully. However Shivraj and Romeo suffer a massive fallout when they both fall for Parmar’s niece Chanda (Sonakshi SInha).

While Parmar and Shivraj end their opium rivalry and decide to become relatives finally ending their tussle, Romeo challenges Shivraj that he will marry his lady love on the same day that is decided for his wedding to Chanda.

Henceforth begins Romeo’s journey to win over Shivraj at every step and make Chanda his own. Will Shivraj fail to marry Chanda and fail the challenge Romeo posed to him? Or use his power to crush his former protege? Watch R…Rajkumar to know how the story unfolds.

Shahid Kapoor to his credit is in good form. He delivers a few genuine laughs and shows a flair for fights! Intense and enjoyable, perhaps the only flaw with his work was he wasn’t enjoying his role enough. The infectious gusto of the actor is indeed there but the scorching screen presence of the lead man is clearly half done.

Sonakshi Sinha is unfortunately the female Prakash Raj of the acting world. She is there is every freaking film, delivering the same role each time rendering no new flavor to her character. There is running joke I crack to my friends about her, how you can cut her scenes from any of her films and paste it in her next, it would do. She is becoming boring and since the girl has shown caliber before, wasting herself in roles where she is called lollypop is unfortunate.

Sonu Sood is not exemplary. Missing the viciousness of Chedi Singh, neither is he a perfect lecher or outright evil. With cocky lines and the brutal smile, he works just average but not exceedingly impressive.

The supporting cast can might as well be ignored because they were that unremarkable.

R…Rajkumar is a below ordinary, at best Prabhudheva’s most modest work till date. Rating 2 on 5
