Intro

On Prabhu Deva's 50th birthday, we revisit his 2012 action film 'Rowdy Rathore.' It starred Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Nassar, and Yashpal Sharma, and was a box-office blockbuster.

Plot

'Rowdy Rathore' was the remake of 'Vikramarkudu' (2006). It revolves around Shiva, a thief, whose life gets entangled with that of his lookalike Vikram, a cop.

3

'Masala' movie

The film's success was due to its incorporation of essential elements of a Hindi 'masala' movie: action, romance, comedy, music, and drama.

4

Kumar's double role

Not only did Kumar play a dutiful cop, but also the polar opposite: a small-time Mumbai-based thief. Both characters were brave, courageous, and selfless.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by Sajid-Wajid and still stands the test of time with popular songs like 'Chamak Challo,' 'Tera Ishq Bada Teekha,' and 'Chinta Ta Ta.'
