It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

In the 100 years of Bollywood history, there has been heroes who have been given certain titles which its found very common in movies they have acted, eg titles such as The Action Hero, The Chocolate Boy, Angry Young Man, King of Romance etc.In the last 10 years or so since coming into Bollywood cinema from his first release in 2003, it has been noticed or observed that one will expect Emraan Hashmi into kissing scenes. With over 30 movies in which Emraan Hashmi has acted so far, with the exception barring his part in Shanghai majority of these have kissing scenes. No wonder he has come to known as the Serial Kisser of Bollywood. Some of these movies include Murder(Mallika Sherawat), Tumsa Nahin Dekha(Dia Mirza), Zeher(Udita Goswami and Shamita Shetty), Aashiq Banaya Apne(Tanushree Dutta), Gangster(Kangana Ranaut and Udita Goswami), The Train(Sayali Bhagat and Geeta Basra), Jannat(Sonali Chauhan), Tum Mile(Soha Ali Khan), Crook(Shella Allen), Murder 2(Jacqueline Fernandez), The Dirty Picture(Vidya Balan), Jannat 2(Esha Gupta), Raaz 3(Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta), Rush(Neha Dupia and Sagarika Ghatge), Ek Thi Daayan(Huma Qureshi), Ghanchakkar(Vidya Balan)and of course his latest offering in Raja Natwarlal(Humaima Mallick). Unfortunately this trend has become more common in the movies recently with other main actors joining the club. And some movies have gone as far as bedroom scenes and more. I wonder what's next for Bollywood (the complete act)!As to this movie,its basically shows how a street smart con man making it big time with the assistance of the experienced con artist Paresh Rawal who was excellent above all the rest of the cast. The movie has romance,passion, twist and surprises. Enjoyed the scenery of Cape Town, South Africa and specially the view along the coast with the Table Mountain as background although I felt it was not necessary to go abroad as I am sure India has a lot better location to offer. Of course the scenery in and around Dharamsala was wonderful. So Emraan 'baas Kar' and I am sure he can come up with better than the kissing and bedroom acts.

I watched the trailer and knew that the movie will have something new to offer. The main Lead "Emraan Hashmi" has given another good performance after 'shanghai' beyond his portrayed and perceived image by Mahesh Bhatt's movie. The name itself is catchy and makes audience curious to watch the movie. The plot has its ups and down, Deepak Tojori was seen on the big screen after a long time and then you get to see KK Menon and Paresh Rawal. The Actress 'Humaima' fits the need of the character and do justice to her debut film. This is one movie with no misfits. Everything gels well in the script from starting playful, fun times to the feeling of revenge, simple strategy and execution. The movie also leaves a scope of a sequel , that would be tricky business. The sequel, if comes would be expected to deliver high hopes of the audience. Appreciation for all the directors, as the simple concept was taken to extra-ordinary level. Kudos !

At the base it is the story of a big-hearted con robbing people who had become rich by fraud. But he does not do it for his own profit, he gives it away in charity and things like that. This whole thing looked totally foolish and cheap to me, it is not at all realistic - real people will never do like this. This whole idea of glorifying a criminal and showing him successful is an age-old cheap trick of making money. In my view both Ratwarlal and Wardha Yadav are criminals and the persons from whom Wardha has misappropriated all the money also must be criminals only. It happens just like that in the criminal world ecosystem. There is no point in making one of them a hero and the other a villain. Moreover it is all happening too easily, people are going to South Africa (When they don't have much money), they are setting up fake banks etc. etc. It is just another piece of good guy- bad guy sort of feel good stuff from bollywood. It is too much manipulative. Emraan Hashmi looked odd in the role, compared to him the other guys have performed much better. The songs and background music were irritating to me. The story-line of their campaign was dynamic and at least kept us following. But overall direction was very poor. You will find hundreds of con films much much better than this all over the world. Don't waste your time on this piece of trash.

Nice and Entertaining Film. This time Eemran Hashmi Fans wont be disappointed. After the Average movie "GHANCHAKKAR" . Eemran Hashmi will be seen on screen after a gap of more than a year.Story Starts with Raja a Small Co artist Dupe's people with his friend Raghav(Deepak Tijori). They hit the jackpot when they dupe goon-turned- businessman Vardha Yadav (Kay Kay Menon)The cat-and-mouse game and how the duo shake them off their back makes the film interesting. Then how they plan to sell the cricket team to KK MENON. Yogi(Paresh Rawal)Prepares Raja for the big thing. Why does paresh rawal helps him? For that u need to watch the movie.The Songs can be ignored coz they come whenever they want actually spoiling the mood of the film. I think the director only needed to patch them up :P . There are several loopholes in Raja Natwarlal when it comes to logic and the conning could have certainly been more cunning and conniving. One of the film's biggest confusions is how the scene shifts between Mumbai and Cape Town. Emraan is in a business deal with Kay Kay and the next moment he meets his girlfriend who had fled to Mumbai after fighting with him! And after their adventurous ride in the rainy streets of Mumbai, they are back in the lift of a hotel in Cape Town. Lets ignore that and just sit back enjoy the movie. How they con KAY KAY and how did they loot crores of money. Total PAISA VASOOL . SURE SHOT BLOCKBUSTER
