Rajjo Movie Review

The good thing about bad films is that sometimes they are so bad that they become good.

It takes giant reserves of patience to survive a film as bizarre as Rajjo. Watching this movie, you have to wonder what exactly might have tempted an actress of Kangana Ranaut’s caliber to commit to it.

It is amateurish, crass and listless take on the trials and tribulations of a young woman trying to escape her difficult past. Patil’s story has the reverse effect. Instead of tugging one’s heartstrings it makes you cringe.
