Yash Raj Film’s Roadside Romeo (incidentally Disney’s foray into Bollywood as well) will find it hard to even pass the quality test
In a world where Pixar sets the gold standard in animated films, Yash Raj Film’s Roadside Romeo (incidentally Disney’s foray into Bollywood as well) will find it hard to even pass the quality test. Both the animation and the story leave a lot to be desired and the only positive outlook for the movie is that it’s a pioneering effort at least in ho-hum Bollywood.
The story of a dog, Romeo (voiced by Saif Ali Khan) who was living the lavish life and suddenly finds himself on the mean streets of the city is clichéd to a fault. Romeo falls for Laila (Kareena Kapoor) who also happens to be the crush of bad dog Charlie Anna (Javed Jaffrey) and predictable mayhem follows. Jugal Hansraj’s direction relies too much on Bollywood lore (Yash Raj film scenes and dialogues are copied galore) and too little on character study. It is an earnest effort perhaps but if anyone thought animation didn’t need a story, they should ask the studio that made the animation movie event of the year, Wall–E.
The film hardly has any genuinely funny moments, and the background sets, though well detailed, lack punch. The redeemer is eventually Javed Jaffrey, the only one who seems to know how to voice an animation character. He brings out the quirks of Charlie Anna superbly to life and provides the few laughs there are in the film. The tepid songs and a basic background score do nothing to add to the appeal though. Ultimately, the gag reel during the end credits turns out to be funnier than the movie itself. And that’s saying a lot.
