    Bad screenplay & overhype.
    Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja review :

    First the positives - Anil Kapoor was earnest as the chor Romeo while Sridevi looked absolutely ravishing especially in her red chiffon saree in the seductive 'Jaane wala ruk jaa' number added at last minute. Her sensuous grooves reminded the audience of her Mr. India's 'Kaate nahi kat te' song. Oooh lala!!

    Now the negatives - Jackie Shroff was given a raw deal. Anupam Kher's double role villain Jugraan paled in comparison to Mr. India's Mogambo. Paresh Rawal was wasted. Laxmikant Pyarelal's music was underwhelming, ahem!!

    A follow up to the super hit Mr India (1987) and an extremely hyped and manipulated movie by Boney Kapoor; Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja (RKRCKR) had a pathetic story and screenplay by the normally competent Javed Akhtar. He had borrowed elements from his own flop movie Zamaana (1985). The high production costs were also another reason for its failure. Anil Kapoor expected RKRCKR to make him next superstar after Bachchan but the audience proved too smart for him. After all, yeh public hai yeh sab jaanti hai..

    Anil had allegedly purchased the Filmfare best actor award for Beta (1992) just a month before the release of RKRCKR but Dimple Kapadia, the presenter, blew his lid away when she declared his name as winner without even opening the envelope. Oops!!!

    The film's highlight was the train roberry sequence which was superbly choreographed but an overconfident Boney and Satish Kaushik (in his directorial debut) boasted that it was bigger than Sholay (1975). Audience quickly did the comparison and RKRCKR failed. Miserably!!

    This is one movie which bombed so badly it was out of Minerva in six weeks flat. Never got a re-release as well.. Gone and forgotten forever!!

    Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.
