Rajjo Review

One Line Review: A unique love story that floods good between the darker society of pimps and prostitute, faces its worst in the so called sophisticated outer world.

Positive Points: Art direction and not much apart from Kangana's never seen dancing talent.

Negative Points: Veteran actors like Prakash Raj, Mahesh Manjrekar sheerly wasted with a dull old story line.

Plot: Chandu (Paras Arora) leads a happy life with his family; professor dad, mom and a younger sister. Brilliant in music, best with his cricketing skills, the lad happens to succumb a bright future ahead. This is when a cricket match victory due to Chandu walks him along with his team mates to a grant road red light area.

With a young soul in a witty place, collides the mesmerising prostitute cum dancer Rajjo (Kangana Ranaut). Falling for the stunning beauty, the champ becomes a regular customer for close door chats at Begum's (Mahesh Manjrekar) flesh trade business. Falling in love with Rajjo, three years elder to him, the lad stands a wrights of the society to make her his. Tying a knot, the couple is eventually denied acceptance in the so called sophisticated society.

Finally building a nest of their own in a long lost rural area, Rajjo now heads her past all over again when she crosses path with the mighty and greedy politician Handa (Prakash Raj) who has been a regulate at the flesh arcade. Willing Rajjo to spread her charm in his new built dance bar, Handa goes all odds with the lovebirds and makes their life a mess.

Direction and Other Technical Aspects: Director Vishwas Patil has tried to handle a sensitive part of the society as like the rare slot of filmmakers such as Madhur Bhandarkar. Trying to bring out something really unique from the subject of a blossom relationship between a prostitute and a collegiate, Patil has unfortunately guided the tour back in the Rekha era with the same old tragedy plot.

The screenplay is quite dull with a predictable plot to be discussed. The camera whereas on the contrarily has a good output. The foul language and the skimpy scenario add a real feel to the designed sets. The over excessive use of foul language merely puts the viewer in a slight odd situation. To add a topping, when apart from the young lot the senior in the cue as like Swati Chitnis prompt a few bad vocals, it becomes hard to digest.

Performances: Kangana Ranaut as Rajjo comes out loud with not much skimmy outlook, rather a talent based convoy. Her never seen before dancing brilliance at such a long stretch raises her bar. The starlet also walks out straight head with her performance with an average, not that bad performance.

Paras Arora as Chandu looks innocent and suits the character well, as on paper. In real the lad needs much of training to face the camera once again. Standing to watch him playing Kangana's love interest miserably turns the tables down.

Prakash Raj as Handa, the corrupt politician is no odd to the viewers. He is all good but nothing new to the stranded audiences.

Music: Composer Uttam Singh has stitched a rather dull album. With the tracks not much pulling the normal crowd, the album is sure to be heard in bars in near future. Consisting of around five tracks, none of them apart from "Jhulmi" is a heard one in common.

Final verdict: An old red light love story wine bottled in the same old Hippocratic society, merely with an age difference label to be sold out fresh.
