Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

pankajsehjowalia 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 !

Shib Shankar Sikder 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.

silvan-desouza Kunal Deshmukh after Jannat Series and Tum Mile which was a dud returns with Raja Natwarlal, In fact half of the cast from Jannat 2 return in this film. The film starts with Emraan a con artist who cons people and then finally in a twist he looses his friend and mentor which makes him seek revenge The film has good twists, though some deja vu moments, even the romance is typical Emraan Hashmi film style with our heroine playing a bar dancer. The film has too many songs too like at the start we have 3-4 songs in quick succession. Yet the film manages to entertain and grips you at many places However illogical it gets at times, yet the manner in which they con Kaykay is well handled, The finale too is goodDirection is good Music is decent, Tere Hoke Rahenge is a good song, rest are all good but the songs are too many and at times wrongly placed.Emraan Hashmi has played streetsmart characters earlier, but there is lot of depth in his performance which shows his growth and he suits the part superbly Paresh Rawal gives the film an edge and does a great job Kaykay Menon is superb in a role apparently modelled on Sahara Chief Subrata Roy, he is fabulous as always Deepak Tijori has a good cameo and does a great job, seen after a long time he gains good sympathy for his short role Sumeet Nijawan has a solid, menacing presence as a bad cop and does a good job, while Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub is wasted terribly Humaima Malick is however not too impressive as the lead heroine though it can be overlooked as it's her maiden attempt in Bollywood

ez-goku Con movies are rare in bollywood,good con movies are even rarer.It is a genre that is not attempted much in bollywood.The ones we had were disastrous ones like Cash,Tees Maar Khan etc.The only good ones I remember are Badmaash Company and Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl. So Raja Natwarlal comes as a pleasant surprise.It goes without saying that there are plot holes and the songs could have been avoided but the director has kept the pace of the movie interesting and the climax is well directed and something you wouldn't expect. Emraan Hashmi and Paresh Rawal are superb and look every bit convincing as the endearing con-men. Kay Kay Menon's character is caricaturish but he makes good use of it. Watch out for him in the final scene. Humaima Malick needs to look good and she does that. Mohd. Zeeshan Ayub is good in his cameo.Well I wouldn't call Raja Natwarlal the best film of the year,but it is certainly amongst the most entertaining ones.It is way better the trashy south remakes we get every week in the name of entertainment.
